About this house rental

Location and Attractions
Great kitchen and dining area designed by two former chefs. Open floor plan on the first floor allows for a fun family atmosphere. Our house sits on three lots and has a beautiful backyard under the shade of a giant weeping willow tree. Perfect for naps, sports with the kids, grilling out, and bonfires in the evening. We have 3 kayaks with paddles available for use. Lots of quiet places to sit and relax for adults. The large lots allows plenty of space for parking and trailers with boats etc. We offer free WI-FI and the house has multiple smart TVs with apps for Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu etc.

The house includes a fully stocked pantry, a chef's kitchen worth of cooking supplies and equipment, as well as brand new stainless appliances. Centrally located in the Village, guests are a block away from the Bass Lake public access, and two blocks away from Elk Lake access- perfect for walks, kayaking, and picnics. The house is walking distance to downtown, the dam for fishing, and just about every dining option in the city. Additionally, we are close to golf, the Elk Lake marina for boats, hiking, biking, kayaking, and a quick drive to Traverse City. Day trips will get you to Sleeping Bear Dunes, a Lookouts game, Mackinac Island, Turtle Creek Casino, skiing, and so many more great attractions that northern Michigan has to offer.

This location is great for anyone interested in Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Torch Lake, etc. Very easy to get to with grocery store and dining very close. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. Pay close attention to the details in the communications from the property owners.

We had a great stay at this property, you could not ask for a better location. Grocery store & gas station are directly across the street and you're very close to all the lakes in the area. (The road you're on though is not busy & you can easily walk around). The outside of the home is deceiving at first, but the inside is nicely updated & has all the amenities you need. It was perfect for 2 adult couples and 1 child (could easily fit another kid or two). The best surprise for us was the garage- it fit both of our 25ft. bass boats easily which kept the dew off each night & our belongings extra safe. We would stay again.

The property was as described. it was clean, stocked with the essentials, and had enough space for our party of six. Ample parking. Our bed was comfortable. We chose it because Elk Rapids is centrally located between Traverse City, Bellaire, and Charlevoix. The hosts were very communicative and helpful, including suggesting many places and restaurants to visit in the area.

We spent a week here with six adults & it was great location. Right across the street from Village Market & walking distance to Ethanology. We rented a boat at Elk Rapids Marina & went to Torch Lake. We went to Mackinac Island, played golf at Elk Rapids Country Club. We enjoyed Taverse City & the Jolly Pumpkin. We ended up going to Charlevoix & Petoskey. Highly recommend for renovated interior, especially the two bathrooms and kitchen.

Home is right across from the grocery store. This house was very clean and spacious. No complaints other than I didn’t get responses from the owners a couple of times. I think this could be Vrbo problem and not necessarily theirs. I would stay here again.

Our family of 4 was in the area for Iceman and this was the perfect location for our stay. The house is clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Conveniently across the street from a grocery store, so we were able to take advantage of the well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay here again!

This property was very nice. Excellent location that allows you to explore Elk Rapids and also drive to Traverse City and spend the day exploring. Very nice to be able to walk across the street to the grocery for any food needs. The house had everything you need for a vacation including laundry, cooking supplies, bath towels and very comfortable beds. I would highly recommend this property to any friends and family thinking about visiting the Elk Rapids/Traverse City area.

Steve and Tami were excellent hosts and their house was great for my month-long stay working remotely in Elk Rapids this winter. The internet was fast and there was even a nice desk in one bedroom that wasn't shown in the pictures! The home had everything needed for a comfortable long term stay and Steven & Tami checked in regularly to make sure my stay was going well. The kitchen was well equipped (just note that the oven runs hot!) and it was very convenient to have the grocery store right across the street. Any winter activities besides walking around town were a short drive away, but there was an abundance of hiking and skiing options in every direction making it an ideal adventure location for the weekends. I really appreciated the huge garage - there was plenty of room for my 20+ foot truck so I could keep it out of the snow!
