For those of us who don't want to "rough it" on our trips up north, this is a great choice! Suzanne's home is very comfortable with thoughtful amenities, in a quiet town with a beautiful beach - exactly as described. We had a great vacation!

We had another fun and memorable vacation week in Elk Rapids staying at the Cedar Street Cottage. Suzanne is an excellent host. You will enjoy her home and the location.

Suzanne, the owner made our week away so enjoyable! She was absolutely the perfect host, and was always available for anything we might need! Her house is very clean, organized and stocked with absolutely everything you need—even baking pans and cake plates(for my daughters who love to bake,) a huge tub of kids toys and books, and even bikes and corn hole! The backyard is amazing with an adorable porch swing, table and chairs, grill and a fire pit! Downtown Elk Rapids, our favorite kid’s park and library in Northern Michigan, and tons of good shopping and dining options are all just blocks away!!! Thank you Suzanne for sharing your beautiful home with our family:)

We enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Street Cottage. The house was very nice and we especially enjoyed the back porch, and spent time on the swing. The location was good for going to town and accessing local restaurants and shops as well as the beach. However, we felt that the instructional signs around the home were a bit intrusive and took away from the relaxing vacation experience. We traveled with our two young children, ages 2 and 4, who also really enjoyed the house and playing both inside and outside. The home was very clean, and the furnishings and decor were very nice.

House is beautifully update and very clean. Great location close to town and marina.

Wow!! Wow!! and Wow!! for these first time visitors to this area. From a late last minute need, to wishing a safe travels home, Suzanne was a host to rave about for her efforts and her property. Because of a last minute need to make a change of plans, our search found this gem of a home and hostess. The Elk Rapids 3 Bedroom/1 1/2 Bath will not disappoint. To say this is updated with all that you could ask for, would be an understatement. Beautiful throughout the inside and outside does not say enough. We did not have near enough days to enjoy all of the amenities of the home or the surrounding areas. The beds were great, and I am very hard to please for sleeping is a struggle for me when traveling. Kitchen seemed fully stocked. We did not find anything missing that we needed. There was a generous supply of paper products even. You just don't find that! Small travel sizes of bathroom needs were provided also if needed. Living room furniture was so comfy. We were traveling with an 8 month old learning to crawl. He did not come off of the floor looking like he had been on an unkept floor. We were so pleased that first time picking him up from playing. Suzanne is a joy. She kept in contact if needed, and checked in on us. If I wanted to text or email, she was there, but she was never intrusive. She was just about perfect in everyway, as was this home. What would make it perfect you asked? If we lived closer would make it like winning a lottery. Stop looking and book!

The property was perfect for a "girls getaway" Clean, well stocked, and just a charming place to call home base while exploring beautiful northern Michigan! Suzanne was awesome!

This is a great property. Beautiful inside and out, very clean, and a great location. The open floorplan was great for hanging out as a family. The private backyard, big covered porch and fire pit were wonderful. It’s an easy walk to downtown, parks and marina. Communication was excellent. Being able to store our bikes in the garage was an added bonus. We’d love to stay again!

Suzanne’s place was just as described. She was so thorough and provided some great suggestions. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was so charming and inviting. Great attention to detail decor, inside and out. The backyard porch was delightful!

Beautifully appointed property with all the comforts of home! Open concept layout is perfect for maximizing family time and cozy porch and fire pit area make you want to settle in for the long haul. Proximity and easy travel to Traverse City, and Elk Rapids downtown just a short walk away. A+ property and rental experience!

We had a wonderful time in Elk Rapids at Cedar Street Cottage over Labor Day weekend. The house was exactly as pictured and even nicer than expected in terms of cleanliness and nice touches like a welcome basket and thorough instructions and guide book on everything! Suzanne was attentive and responsive to all questions and checked-in to make sure we had everything we needed. We cooked most meals at the house since our trip was during covid restrictions and the kitchen, grill and fire-pit made that very enjoyable and easy with everything we needed - even coffee, snacks and pantry staples. The location of the house is very convenient to attractions like Torch Lake and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Downtown Elk Rapids was very cute with the best donuts at Flour bakery. An excellent stay - we would definitely return! Thank you!

Cedar Street Cottage was just as pictured on the VRBO listing. The homey decor was beautiful and so relaxing. Loved the back porch in the early morning to drink our coffee. Nice sized back yard perfect to play spike ball (we brought). Suzanne adds little extra touches that were appreciated such as a welcome binder, little notes throughout the house and toiletries in the bathroom. There was even a "welcome" basket on the island filled with goodies and a hand-written note. No one does that anymore! Suzanne was in touch throughout the week to check in or to tell us about someone was coming to the house (to water the flowers) and see if we had any questions about check out, etc. I see us going back there in the future. And, I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who asks. Thank you, Suzanne, we had a wonderful time!

We had a very pleasant experience renting this cute cottage. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. She clearly wants to provide an excellent guest experience. The cottage was clean and everything looked new. The kitchen was well appointed. The location was good. Only a few blocks from the Main Street in Elk Rapids and close to a park and beach. Bicycles were available for further exploring. Elk Rapids is a quiet, friendly little town. If you are looking for your next family vacation spot, you should consider the Cedar St. Cottage.

We had an amazing week in this fabulous home! The location is perfect. You can walk or ride bikes everywhere you need to go. The house is adorable and impeccably clean! There was plenty of space for our family of 4 plus grandma. We definitely hope to come back!

Cottage is immaculate, beautifully decorated and the porch with the swing is even more amazing than the pictures. The open floor planwas perfect for my husband and I and our two teenage daughters. Easy walk to town and the beach.

Our family really enjoyed this house, everything is exactly as described! There were many little extras including amazing coffee pod flavors and all the ingredients to make s'mores on the fire. The porch was our favorite spot after enjoying our days on the water. This house is in a perfect spot in Elk Rapids. I would highly recommend this house!

Beautiful house in a cute town on the lake. The beach is a short walk away, and it’s a great beach for the whole family. Elk Rapids is very accommodating with a number of good local restaurants and shops. The house looks newly remodeled and the host was welcoming and attentive. We had a lovely family vacation and we would definitely return in the future!
