About this house rental
Our wonderful vacation home is on 135 feet of gorgeous Elk Lake. It is located on the dead end of a small private road and heavily landscaped to create maximum privacy. We have a small sandy beach perfect for the kids, spectacular swimming off the dock, the best sunsets, and what we feel is the perfect location. We are 6 miles from the cute village of Elk Rapids on Lake Michigan, 23 miles from the Traverse City Airport, and just over an hour to exploring the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore to the west, and Charlevoix/Petosky/Harbor Springs attractions to the north.
Our cottage is uniquely positioned just yards from the water. We love the close proximity of the shore, dock and hoist to our kitchen and deck as well as the sound of the water at night from our bedroom.
As our photos show our ground floor living space is completely open between our large family, kitchen and dining areas. This has facilitated so many great memories with everyone of all ages congregating in the same area whether playing games, watching tv/movies, listening to music, cooking or dining..On cooler evenings the fireplace and it's wood burning insert make ir all cozy. We also have a portable brass firepit for evenings on the beach for marshmallows or smores.
Our ground floor master bedroom is located off the kitchen with windows looking out the beach and lake. It has a queen bed with a large walk in closet. It also has an oversized bathroom and shower which accommodated the first owners wife's' disabilities. Sliders out the side lead to a covered grilling area between our house and the garage. This makes easy access between the kitchen and the gas grill and/or Big Green Egg smoker.
The second floor holds three bedrooms. At the top of the stairs is a large bedroom overlooking the lake that sleeps four with two twins and trundle beds beneath. It has it's own ensuite full bath.
Across the hall is a nice bedroom with a queen size bed. It shares a full bath off the hallway with the fourth bedroom that is over the garage at the end of the hallway. It is a very large room with four twins and sitting area.

5.0 / 5.0
My family had a great week staying at this home. Beautiful sunsets, great swimming off the dock, and our kids really took advantage of playing in the sand/beach area on the property. The rooms and closets in the house are very generous in size and the house is well laid out for family hang out time, but you can also get away for quiet time if needed.

This was our 2nd stay with you and we once again enjoyed the house and location. Plenty of room for our family of 10. We had the best week yet of weather getting 4-5 lake days of just enjoying the water. Great places to walk for some of us, close to many activities for young and old. Definitely recommend…..

We had a great time. Good house with lots of space. Sandy beach was fun for kids, the lake has a rock bottom at this house. We had our swim mat and it was really fun. Thank you Tom. The house is very private and about 15 mins from town.

Great venue for family vacation
Property was described accurately. Spacious deck, yard and beach for outdoor activities. House was huge and provided enough space for our large family. Two grills and large kitchen made it easy for meal prep. Would definitely return!

Spacious luxury rental for large family
An excellent choice to enjoy the beautiful turquoise water of Elk lake. Tucked down at the end of a private road with landscaping that provides a serene environment. The neighbor who manages the property is very nice and helpful and will give you advice on enjoying the area. The master bedroom is especially spacious and has an amazing view.

Summer 2020
The house was perfect for my extended family (myself, wife, two teenage daughters and parents) to spend a week on the lake in northern Michigan. The house was better than described in the listing as it was fully stocked with all the kitchen gear needed to really cook fantastic meals (pots/pans, gas grill, green egg smoker, cookie sheets, utensils, coffee maker, bagel toaster....). Tom did a fantastic job providing info both about the house and the local area (restaurants, hiking trails, golf courses and shops) to make sure our trip/stay allowed us to experinence the local area and take advantage of the great activities near the house.
Elk Lake is perfect. We had initially thought Torch lake would be preferred lake but the smoother water conditions and warmer water temperatures of Elk lake were greatly appreciated by my family. We did take our boat to torch lake via the river which was a fun little trip but we were happy to get back to the calmer Elk lake with its lower traffic and congestion compared to Torch.
If our vacation plans take us back to the Traverse City area we will definately try to stay at Tom's place again.

This home that we rented was absolutely beautiful, along with the property.
The home is big enough for a large family, and has every amenity you could imagine. My family had a wonderful time staying here, and I see us coming back.

Wonderful Week at Elk Lake!
The house was beautiful and a great set up for our family. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the house/deck/dock and lake. The kids played in the sand everyday and we had a great time out in the water. The town of Elk Rapids really had everything we needed! Great Location to many different areas and things to do!
