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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!

Great house on a beautiful lake!!

We had a wonderful time at this Elk Lake property! The house had plenty of room for 10 adults and 6 kids to enjoy time together. The kitchen was well stocked and it was great having two fridges to use, as well as washer and dryer! House was clean and comfy, but could use some updates here and there. The dock was convenient to have for the pontoon, however it could have used a good cleaning before our arrival. Having the extra canoe, paddleboard, kayaks and toys for the kids was awesome! Nicole was very responsive to any questions or problems we had. The lake was beautiful and we were able to find some sandbars which was perfect for swimming! Elk Rapids has a great downtown area that is a short drive from the house. We will definitely consider this property for future vacations!

Family Vacation!

We will definitely be back! Let's get any issues out of the way because the trip itself was perfect. Our trip took place 6/8-6/15 and apparently the gnats are in full force this time of year. We had no idea so we had exterior lights on and also installed some red/white/blue mini lights around the deck railing..man was that a mistake. The deck and back of the house was covered in gnats. The bushes along the front road were also covered in gnats. Lesson learned and we left the lights off moving forward and didn't have any issues. The host also mentioned that it could have been caused by the rain they recently received. Other than that we had a minor issue with the AC going out that was quickly resolved and the fridge in the basement didn't work but sounded like it was going to be replaced right away. Now the good stuff! The host was very easy to communicate with and responsive to all issues and questions. The house overall was great for our family. Clean and nicely decorated. The backyard was great other than the goose poop. Not sure how you get around that. The little beach was perfect for the little kiddos. The dock worked great for securing our boat. The water was about as clear as I have ever seen. It was so awesome to travel from Elk lake to Skegemog to the Torch River (which was our favorite part) to the sandbar on Torch lake. Torch River Shack was perfect for fueling up. Torch Sandbar is a must. Overall great experience and would highly recommend this lake and house!

We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. The weather wasn't great but the home is large enough to spread out and enjoy. The lakefront is beautiful. We did get to spend some time outside (rained on an off) and it was nice. A little sandy beach area for the little ones to enjoy, which they did. A much appreciated large grass area. We setup soccer nets, badminton-volleyball net, plenty of room outside to enjoy! The location is great, close to downtown Elk Rapids and restaurants.

We had a great stay on Elk Lake. We had 10 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house was very clean when we checked in. It had everything we needed for our stay. A well equipped kitchen, 2 refrigerators, beach towels, kayaks, beach chairs and our dog loved the huge backyard which is very private. The swim area is awesome for young kids. Its hard sand and shallow for probably 20-30 yards from the shore. It was great!!!.
