Cozy Retreat with Elk Lake Access

Look no further!! This inviting Cottage steps away from your private Elk Lake lot is the best choice for your get away. The Northern Michigan house is located 3.7 miles from Elk Rapids, 8.3 miles from Williamsburg, and 16.2 miles from Traverse City.

The original charm from the stone foundation to the barn wood feature walls and original wood floors help create a place you will love for relaxation and creating memories. It is the perfect size for 4 people with approximately 1263 square feet of living space and a 266 square foot deck/patio.

The house has been renovated from top to bottom with new furniture, and appliances including a gas grill on the deck. The cupboards are stocked with dishes, glassware, and silverware for inside or patio dining. There is a selection of cooking pans and it's stocked for at home baking.

There is one bedroom on the third floor with 2 twin beds, one bedroom on the second floor with one queen bed. The bathroom located on the second floor has a full bathtub and shower. The laundry is also on the second floor equipped with a washer and dryer.

The kitchen is equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, blender, dishes, glassware, silverware, pots and pans, and the moveable kitchen island is stocked with everything you need to bake if you wish. There are two dining options, one in the house at a counter height table with seating for six and the table on the deck with seating for four. If you want to grill, there is a gas grill on the patio.

The living room area has a 50-inch wall mounted TV, a couch, loveseat, coffee table and 2 end tables centered around a cheerful area rug.

Included with the rental is shared access to our private 50-foot Elk Lake access. It is yours for the week to use at your own risk. There will be 4 chairs and a couple of small tables for your to use at the lake.

Besides enjoying time at Elk Lake, there are many adventures in our regional area from boating, golfing, wine tasting, breweries, distilleries, farmer’s markets, shopping, horseback riding, and, of course, picking cherries when in season.

We look forward to your visit!

Lovely, clean home with great location
We had a great stay at Barb’s home. It started with easy clear communication on the check in process, and we were greeted with snacks and fresh cherries upon arrival. The house is CLEAN, which is a rarity these days and so appreciated. Kitchen is fully stocked, fresh bath and beach towels. Thanks for having us!

Great time at the lake
We had a really nice stay at the cottage and loved the access to the water. There are tons of great things to do in the area (especially for young children) and the cottage is in a great location. We would visit again!

Great place on Elk Lake
Loved our stay here over the 4th of July. Cottage is located close to everything we wanted to do (Traverse city, torch lake, elk rapids). Very clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Big field in front of the house was great for kids to play. The lake access is nice, bottom is rocky so suggest water shoes. Host was super nice and even brought us a bucket of fresh cherries from the orchard behind the house. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location!
We enjoyed kayaking and relaxing on the patio of this beautiful lake property. The owner was great, and the property was well-stocked with everything we needed. It was just a Short walk across the road and we were able to drop our kayak in the lake and enjoy. Would definitely stay here again.

An Absolute Delight!
This property is in a great location with easy driving distance to Elk Rapids, Traverse City, restaurants and shopping. The cabin was clean, airy, spacious and full of light. The furnishings and decor were lovely and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything needed for cooking, baking and serving meals. I found my time spent there quiet and peaceful and enjoyed the beauty and access to Elk Lake. Barb and Dennis were kind and gracious hosts quickly responding to any requests. Putting it quite simply, I’m so looking forward to a return visit next year - one of my best vacations.
