Perfect for a family with children or 2-3 couples Clean comfy and cozy. All the amenities you would need and more!!!! We would love to come back

Stayed here with the family for summer vacation. Place is in excellent condition and extremely clean. Justin was quick to respond to any questions and check in / out was a breeze. Location was great. Very short walk to lake and downtown Elk Rapids.

One of the most comfortable rentals we’ve stayed at in the past two years. Very convenient location.

Justin's home was perfect for grown family and grandkids! Everything is there - I clearly brought too much kitchen stuff because the kitchen is fully loaded. The bedrooms are great and the area for play for grandkids is perfect. Love the upstairs hidden playroom. Very short 2 blocks to either beach or town. Comfortable beds. We had perfect weather. One of the best up north beaches with a playground the kids loved. Didn't have time to use the kayak or paddle board - that's for next time. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time during our week up north, during our first try at a friends-with-kids vacation. The owner had excellent communication via text and met all of our needs while we were there. The location was perfect, equidistant to the beach and "downtown" Elk Rapids, with less than a 5 minute walk (2-3 blocks) either way. The paddleboard, kayaks, and bikes included were high quality, and allowed us to bring our young kids (1-4 yo) along for a first "boat ride" or two on the river, while always holding on tight. The kayaks and paddleboard were walkable with us to the beach, carried by one or two people or transported on top of our soft beach wagon. The bikes were sturdy enough to carry a bike stroller with us. The Shorts Pull Barn with its giant sandbox was frequented (my new favorite is the Juicy Brut, and we were lucky to have a classic, The Magician, on tap as well). We loved the setup inside the Beach Barn, with enough separation and space that the families could have quiet time getting the kids to bed (the walls were thick even with music) and then reunite in the fresh looking new kitchen (beautiful updates). We only wish we could have stayed longer, as the week went by in a flash. When asking our 4 year old whether he would rather go back to Elk Rapids or Florida (our other most recent vacation), he said "Elk Rapids"! So proud - a Pure Michigander.

Everything was great with property! Owner was fabulous and communicated very efficiently with us! Looking forward to another stay here!
