We had a wonderful time and the host was extremely fast with her responses if I needed anything or had any questions! The kids never were bored with the endless activities on property. Beautiful dock and clean lake water to swim in. We rented a pontoon and used her lift which was great! We were 27 people and the home slept in comfortably!

We had a wonderful experience staying at elk lake estates over the holidays. Our family of 18 slept and played comfortably in the house. The kids had so much to do, between playing outside, in the game room or doing crafts on the tables. They often said “this is so awesome!” Owner decorated the house for the holidays and it was beautiful! Highly recommend to others for any season.

This home is a lot larger in person, then when you see the online pictures. The layout of the home is great!! Plenty of room everywhere, and the seating is perfect for 14 guests. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and responds right away. We were originally going to plan one night of our three nights to go out to dinner, but we ended up enjoying the house so much that we just cooked in all 3 nights. Our trip was October 2023, weather was a little chilly and light rain, but we still managed in one night of a great Bon fire. This home would be a great summer rental too!!
We would definitely consider this house again for future vacations.

Our family came from all over the country and it was the perfect spot for us. The house has everything you could ask for plus it’s the ideal lake location. We couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you for making our trip so special. We will be back.

We spent a week at Elk Lake in this wonderful house. Within 24 hours we knew we wanted it again next year. There were twenty of us from 7 months to 66 years. So much space and areas to play or read or gather together. Everything we needed was there. The house has 2 very well supplied kitchens and so many seating areas inside and out. The lake area had crystal. Lear water fir swimming, kayaking or just replacing on the dock. Close to many outdoor beaches and wineries and hiking or many other activities. The hostess, Jennifer, communicated with us perfectly. This is the best property we have stayed on and can’t wait to go back again.

10.0
Our family was blessed with an awesome vacation full of lasting memories. The hosts have provided everything you could possibly need for a very positive experience, including a volleyball court, a play set, game room, kayaks, fire pit (with wood!) and so much more. We had a large group, complete with lively grandchildren, but the property and home is so spacious that there was plenty of room for everyone. Our plans to go out and eat never materialized because we loved the outdoor eating areas overlooking Elk Lake and the house is well equipped with all of your cooking needs.
Thanks so much to the very kind hosts for sharing their property and allowing families to enjoy their piece of Michigan heaven.

Perfect lake house for our large group of friends and family with kids ranging from ages 2 to 16. House was stocked with everything one could need or ask for. Close to downtown Elk Rapids or short drive (20 minutes) to Traverse City. House was very spacious and never felt cramped with 22 of us all staying there.
Was quiet on the lake and felt secluded at the house. Elk Rapids was 25 minutes via boat and Torch Lake was about an hour boat ride.
Jennifer was an amazing host and very easy to work with from booking to check-in to check-out.

Our family (10 w/4 kids under 4) really enjoyed our stay at Elk Lake Estate. The house was perfect for our family and exceeded our expectations.
The outdoor playset and the sand volleyball court provided hours of fun for the kids while the adults had a great view of the lake. I originally thought we would use more of the amenities (e.g. pool table and game room), but the weather was great and the kids enjoyed their toys outside. The host went out of her way to check that we had everything we needed and was immediately available for any questions. We certainly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Even with bad weather in early Spring, we had such a great time with beautiful Elk Lake as our backdrop for a gals weekend in. We hired a private chef to cook dinner for our large group on Saturday night and the house even came equipped with enough plates, cups, silverware and seats for the dinner to be a success.
The bedrooms were spacious and the house was clean. We will definitely be back to enjoy this house and all the lake has to offer!

Chose this property for the many bedrooms and comfy lounging spaces. Worked well for a large group. The lake was beautiful, and would like to come in summer to enjoy it. Bring your own soap, this hotel dweller was not prepared. Store was close by.

Our Group is a blend of 3 core families who have been vacationing on Torch Lake together for 12 years. Due to circumstances out of our control, we had to find a new location for our group of 19. Since everyone likes to be able to share the same space, this was no easy task. Elk Lake Estate was a Homerun! Jennifer was very responsive to our many questions and made us feel like this transition was going to be smooth from day one. The only complaint we have is that we had to stay later in the Summer than we like, but that is because she honors her previous renters and gives them the opportunity to rebook before opening up to new, which is a very kind and fair process. Most choose to say yes again and again to this Amazing location and Home. So many positives! Parking spaces for all our cars, lift for the boat, beautiful long dock, SO MANY GAMES! Many laughs and great competion from the Sand VB court, also badminton, Basketball (in AND out)...pool table, corn hole and many more. It was great bc when we got hot, we just jumped in the Lake. But the thing I kept hearing our group revel over was the quantity of sitting areas. All of us could eat TOGETHER in a total of 4 different spots! There was inside dining on both the upper and lower levels, outside on the upper deck high tables, or lower level picnic tables. And there was enough matching plates/bowls, etc to make mealtime so much fun! Its always been a highlight for us. We utilized both the upper and lower kitchens and found this so helpful for our large meals. Outside of meal seating, there were also Multiple areas where small and large groups could sit together on both levels and at various spots around the estate. There were so many chaises, adirondacks, couches, etc...that made us feel so comfortable whether we were in or out. But the Highlight of the week was the crystal clear, refreshing water with the beautiful soft sandy bottom! (spoiled from 12 years on Torch, Elk Lake was new to us) Lets just say she exceeded All our expectations. The grocery just a mile away was so convenient for any forgotten items. Also the 3 refridgerators made storing our food, ice, drinks super easy. A few needed to work from home for part of our time and the Wifi made that a smooth process as well. As the week came to a close, we sat around the firepit reminiscing all the great times that were had in our new location and feeling thankful for all of our blessings. Elk Lake Estare is a rare gem! 💙

Great time
The house was super spacious for a large group to get together for a weekend. Nice to have many bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen space. The decks were perfect to spend the day and having the kayaks and yard games was a great perk, thank you!

Best weekend at a gorgeous home
It was my daughters bachelorette weekend & she wanted to be on the water, this place was perfect. All 17 of us ladies didn’t want to leave we just wanted to spend as much time in this house as possible. The home is kept in such a clean and tidy manner we weren’t missing anything. They thought of everything and the beds were so comfy. Jennifer was so helpful & a 100% top notch host.

Great Bachelor Party Spot
me and 15 other guys stayed here for my brothers bachelor party and it was a perfect spot for our crew -- beach volleyball, game room, fire pit, kayaks, outdoor games, picnic tables, grill, and plenty of places to crash, shower, eat (2 kitchens), and much much more. great location close to Turtle Creek casino (15 mins away) and a golf course right down the road. plenty of space for big groups to hang out in and even more to break off into smaller groups. as the best man I stayed in the elk room, complete with a king bed and private bathroom, and the bachelor stayed in the captains quarters with a master bed and bathroom. we all had an amazing time and I attribute most of it to this amazing house. Jennifer was great at communication the whole time, making sure we had everything we needed to check in, enjoy our stay, and check out. would recommend this for any big group, any age, and any occasion. I'm only saying this next thing for people who review this in prep for their trip here -- bring paper towels, trash bags, solo cups, and soap/shampoo. those are the things we had to run to the store for, but everything else you can imagine is provided by the host. cannot recommend this more. thanks Jennifer

Phenomenal
This property is just amazing! We rented this home for my sister’s Bachelorette weekend and everything was perfect. Perfect size for us 18 girls! The booking and check in/out process was so simple and the home was clean and the views were beautiful! Perfect location not too far from wineries for a girl’s weekend away! Looking forward to hopefully returning to the property someday!

Thanksgiving Stay
We rented the property with our entire family for Thanksgiving. The house was immaculate. We stay in rentals all the time, and this was the most well stocked home we have ever stayed in. This was a bonus for us, since we cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the home. Every detail was thought out. The hosts were so kind and accommodating. We made unforgettable memories in this beautiful home. We had all age ranges and everyone had a blast. (Even in the cold and snowy weather) Thanks so much to the hosts for this beautiful stay.

Just Wonderful
My friends and I stayed at this property for 2 nights. We were sorry to leave because we felt like we didn’t get to enjoy the house enough and all it offered before we left. I especially loved the cleanness of the property and how organized everything was. It also had everything we needed and more.
It’s just a beautiful house!

Great group getaway
The house was beautiful and had tons of space for our large bachelorette party. A few people commented on how nice it was that the space is actually set up for a large group since many rentals might claim to fit 20 but then only have 10 plates or towels. This had plenty of everything! Owner was great and very quick to respond to all my little questions while trying to plan the party.

It is very beautiful, large for my family, alot todo without leaving the grounds , we will returni
The whole home needed a dusting, the kitchen door pulls were sticky, the refrigerators all needed to be cleaner, and the t.v. had finger prints on the screen that were sticky as well as the remote. One bath shower had mold . we lysoled all the door knobs, hand rails because they were tacky feeling. The mattresses were super comfy, linens clean and fresh and it is decorated beautifully. we all plan to hopefully come next year. Thank you Dianne and Family.

Perfect for us!
Our family of 10 adults and 2 children gathered from across the nation to attend a wedding. As we don’t get together often enough, we needed a large home in a great location. This was perfect! The setting is beautiful, the home layout perfect for providing space for gathering together and privacy for quiet time. Children and adults found plenty to do at this well equipped home. Host was immediately responsive to all inquiries. Absolutely recommend to others

Very nice well kept properties.
Was a huge house! Updated and very nice. We had a great time. It is so nice. There is a long dock and the boat lifts are great as well. Great communication with the propety owner. Couldn't have been more pleased. Some mosquitoes but on the water it is to be expected. Overall had a great time and would recommend to any larger group looking for a great lake house. Good fishing too, we caught a lot of bass including a 22".
