Book your summer vacation on breathtaking Elk Lake. ☀️⛱️🕶️⛵️🎣🎣

Beautiful waterfront lake house with over 100+ feet of sandy frontage with private dock on the the shores of Elk Lake. Our 3200 Sq ft lake house has plenty of room for the whole family. Our Lake house has 6 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen features granite counter tops, and is fully equipped with anything you may need. Large dining area with two tables.
Elk Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan, reminding me of the caribbean with its turquoise waters. Bring your own boat or water toys or rent one from the near by marina. Elk Lake is perfect for swimming, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and fishing. Take a boat ride through the chain of lakes, travel up the Torch river to the world famous Torch Lake and swim on the popular sandbar. We are less than 30 miles to Traverse City with lots of fun activities to do there in every season, from fall color tours and winery's, Skiing in the winter and amazing restaurants and entetainment.

Lake Retreat for the Family

We use VRBO rentals about 4 times a year and this has been one of the best! The lake and beach were breath taking. The picture doesn't do it justice. There was plenty of room for 12 of us from 10 months old to 85 years old. We enjoyed our afternoon in Elk Rapids. There's a great playground on the beach with plenty of shade and bathrooms near by. The house had a wonderful stock of dishes, pots & pans and staples. I've never stayed at a rental with so many basics! If you have the opportunity to stay here, you won't be disappointed!

Party of 15

This house was perfect for my family of 3 children their spouses and 8 grandchildren. We all had a fantastic time. There was plenty of room for all of us. The house is well maintained, kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils, beautifully decorated and inviting on the main floor. The beach area is sandy and the water is pristine. The host, Nicole, is very responsive to all and any needs. We are looking forward to and definitely be returning.

Elk Lake never disappoints!

We had a wonderful week at this home! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The host is wonderful and attentive. Our coffee pot died and they got us a new one within hours. The house is older with a Michigan basement but is well decorated and fit our large family very well! The yard is huge and great for yard games. They had kayaks, a paddle board and huge floating mat which the kids loved! The lake is incredible!! We have a great week!!

Amazing Elk Lake Gem

We had an amazing Labor Day weekend stay at Nicole’s place. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to complement our trip. She recommended a boat rental that worked out perfectly for us and everyone enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle board on-site. Huge yard and plenty of space, couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Fantastic property

Every year we, a group of four families, find a place to stay in Northern Michigan for a winter getaway. We came upon this property this year and couldn't have been happier. The location was wonderful. Everything about the house was great. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend, made easy with this owner and property manager.

Beautiful!

Had a really great time during our stay. The house is decorated beautifully and definitely gives you the “beach” feel. We only used the main floor but this place would be great for a larger group. Nicole was great and quick to answer our questions. The view from the back deck is gorgeous. Would stay here again!

Family Vacation 2023

House was perfect for our family, young and old! Nicole was great about reaching out and checking in periodically during our stay. Less than a 2 hour drive to Mackinaw City to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island, perfect day trip. Or just hangout at the house and enjoy the views, the water and fire pit! Main floor living area was perfect place to relax with the family. Our family absolutely loved our Michigan vacation on Elk Lake!

Excellent family vacation

This home was perfect for our extended family vacation. Nicole is a very responsive host and her property manager, Andrew was ready to help with any issues we had. Loved the huge lawn, fire pit by the lake, kayaks, etc. Very well stocked kitchen with appropriately large cooking pans/griddles for a large group. Super close to pickleball courts and 2 playgrounds. I highly recommend this home!

Wonderful Week at Elk Lake!

We enjoyed the cleanliness and openness of the house! Cupboards were stocked with anything we could have wanted! The upstairs bathroom even had hair ties and cotton pads! The fluffy blankets in the living room were amazing to cuddle up with on the chilly nights we had. The kids loved the easy access to the water and all of us enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. The dock was great for our friend's boat and for the kids to jump into the water from! Great stay!!

Perfect for families

This house was perfect for our little reunion of families. All rooms were as advertised. Would suggest mentioning one room is in the attic. Based on the photos we were surprised by how close the front of the home was to the street. It was challenging to get in and out of driveway for some.

Beautiful lakehouse!

We planned a very last minute trip to Northern Michigan and this beautiful home did not disappoint! The house was impeccable, kitchen well equipped, and the decor was lovely as well! Nicole was incredibly responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed (even having her property manager pull out kayaks and outdoor table out for us after they had been put away for the season). This was a great location to explore Traverse and the Peninsulas. Only downside was being so late in the season we couldn't swim in the gorgeous and clear water. We'd love to come back during the summer!
