About this cottage rental
150 feet of frontage on beautiful Elk Lake. The property is actually a 2 house compound. The 3500 square foot Main Cabin has 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, includes bunk room with 5 bunk beds and covered porch with perfect lake views. The very private 1400 square foot back Guest Cabin with gorgeous fire place, 4 twin bed loft, and cozy master bedroom. Perfect for Grandparents that want a get away for the generations to enjoy together. Go swimming, boating and fishing in Northern Michigan's best kept secret Elk Lake. This is private frontage, with a bon fire pit for enjoying the amazing sunsets and personal sand volley ball pit that doubles as a giant sand box for the kids. The composite dock has large steps for swimming, and there is a mooring ball for tying off your boat. (We ask, and strictly enforce, that you not tie to the dock as storms can roll in quickly and we have lost several docks and boats over the years when guests don't use the mooring.) You are only a short boat ride from Downtown Elk Rapids and the World Famous Torch Lake Sandbar. Only about 20 minutes from Traverse City and a little farther to the wineries on Old Mission Penninsula. In wintertime it is a short ride to snowmobile trails and 35 minutes to Shanty Creek and 45 minutes to Boyne. We are able to split the properties for a cheaper rate in the late fall, winter and early spring. Rentals in June, July and August are 7 days Friday to Friday. There is a outbuilding on the property between the main house and the guest house that is not part of the rental and houses our personal items. Please be aware the property to the south is our neighbors and we ask, and will strickly enforce, that you not trespass. We will go over the guidelines on check in.

We have been staying on Jeffery and Alisa property for three years and hope to continue the tradition. We bring family from all over the Midwest to meet up north and enjoy the fresh air and lake! The home is very accommodating to large family gatherings. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We make lasting memories at their locations!

This was a beautiful property with an incredible lake view. I loved waking up to it every morning.
The property was sized well for our large family - 7 children, spouses, and grandchildren.
The location was convenient to Traverse City, shopping, cruising the area lakes and rivers, restaurants, etc.
Jeff was an excellent host. He responded promptly to our questions and addressed our few small needs while we were there.
Our only criticism would be that using a mooring ball to tie up the boat was not convenient given the cold water temperatures early in June.
Overall, this was a wonderful place to be.

Amazing property with the best views on Elk Lake. There was no need to leave the property as it has it all: views, water sports, volleyball, fire pit, cornhole. It was one of the best family vacations we have ever taken. The owners were wonderful and we are thankful they let us share a piece of their paradise.

We had a great trip here. The home is perfect for multi generational family where grandparents have their own space. It’s quiet and private yet close to Traverse, sleeping bear, cherry picking, etc. definitely do a day to Torch Lake sandbar if it’s warm. Overall, great stay.

We found everything clean when we arrived and loved the "Up North" decor of the two houses. The main house was very roomy during the day for our clan of 21 and the large yard was great for outdoor activities. A rainy day was still enjoyed thanks to the the ping pong table and the covered porch areas. Jeff, our host, was staying nearby so he was readily available for questions and was quick to respond to a couple of minor issues that we had. Hoping to return soon.

Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful cottage on Elk Lake. Everyone had a great time. All expectations were met. A couple of problems were resolved however you might want to invest in an ice maker and some individual chairs for the back porch and area when everyone wanted to get together. We recommend your cottage for any large groups and hope to use it again.

Beautiful property! Plenty of room for outdoor activities! Bonfires and sunsets every night! We enjoyed Elk Lake’s cool clear waters daily. We rented both houses/cottages which were clean and well equipped with kitchen supplies as we cooked or grilled most every night. Indoors hosted a number of large areas for groups to gather and the bedrooms are spacious. The property manager/owner was great, responding quickly to all of our questions. The location was 20-25 minutes from Traverse City and Elk Rapids. Plenty of fresh air and lots to do!! We all hope to return next year! Thank you Jeff!

The setting is just beautiful, sun sets every night were amazing. The house was very large with enough room for 10 grandchildren and 6 adults. The smaller home was comfortable, had everything we needed and was very quiet. Area activities, food shopping and wineries were very close by. It was just beautiful and would highly recommend a stay!!!
