Lakeside Cottage and detached Guest cabin sleeps 28

Great stay for us and our friends that were attending a wedding at the other house on the property. Close enough to things to do, restaurants and shopping/groceries.

An amazing property with a cool history. Right on the Lake. The host was great and I would love to go back some day.

Perfect property for our group.

10/10 recommend this host and property! Our extended family had a tremendous weekend. The beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, kitchen met our big needs, dining room table and outdoor seating allowed us to sit together for meals. We were comfortable and happy here!

This is without a doubt THE best property for a large group on Elk Lake! Anything and everything you might need has been provided; nothing has been overlooked. Truly a magical property, and we can only hope to someday return!

Beautiful setting, plenty of room inside and out for our clan of 21. Owner was nearby and quickly responded to any request.This was our third year in a row and booked for another next year.

The Lakeside Cottage and cabin rental was absolutely wonderful for our family. 16 adults and 8 grandkids! The kitchen was perfect for cooking and serving meals. The views out front were spectacular. There were plenty of loungers and the beach volleyball/sandbox created lots of entertainment for the kids and adults. We brought our own sand toys and a little pool for the toddlers. We rented a pontoon for boat rides and also for fishing at Skegemog Lake or swimming at the sand bar. Wonderful family memories were created here.

Six families stayed at this property for a soccer tournament in Traverse City. We each had our own room. The two houses are large and clean. Check in was a breeze. It was nice to have items in the kitchen to help with preparing meals, and the laundry facilities really came in handy with washing uniforms between games. I wish we could have enjoyed the outside more! The lake is beautiful, the volleyball court was awesome, and the chairs outside were a great touch to make the space feel warm and inviting. Overall, we would recommend this property for a large group!

We really enjoyed staying at your place on a bitter cold winter weekend. We were a full team of hockey players and the ability for us to split off into the other house was great. Plenty of hot water and warmth and a well stocked kitchen was wonderful. Hoping that it will be a yearly event!!

House and property were awesome. Lots of space, lake was awesome, house had everything we needed.

We absolutely loved our stay at this stunning property! The hosts were simply amazing to work with.

We stayed here for our yearly family vacation and had a blast! The place was large enough for our big group and clean!! We loved the covered patio along with the screened in porch because we did have some rainy days! The guest house was also a nice addition as it allowed some of the family a nice quiet place to stay. The location is great as it is very close to downtown elk rapids along with meijer and the casino! The host Jeff was awesome with communication! If we had any issues or questions he responded immediately! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Our family really enjoyed our time at Elk Lake. We had a large group with multiple family units and this home worked well. We especially liked the separate unit where my wife and I (grandma and grandpa) could stay. It gave us a place for a little more peace and quiet. The proximity of the lake was wonderful. Our children and grandchildren swam every day and made use of the kayaks and SUPs that we brought up north. The firepit was used a couple of nights for Smores. The proximity to Meijer's and to Traverse City worked well. If you rent this location be aware that the beach does have sand fleas. On just one of the mornings when the children were out early playing in the sand they were bit up and it led to a few tears. After that we made sure they had on repellent. Be sure to bring sand toys. The volleyball court doubles as a large sand box. There are several farm stands on M72 and one small one just at the entrance to the unit. We had sweet corn and cherries from these stands.

Great place for our family of 19 on the quiet end of Elk Lake. Lots of room for yard games. Host was very responsive to any needs.

We have been staying on Jeffery and Alisa property for three years and hope to continue the tradition. We bring family from all over the Midwest to meet up north and enjoy the fresh air and lake! The home is very accommodating to large family gatherings. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We make lasting memories at their locations!

This was a beautiful property with an incredible lake view. I loved waking up to it every morning. The property was sized well for our large family - 7 children, spouses, and grandchildren. The location was convenient to Traverse City, shopping, cruising the area lakes and rivers, restaurants, etc. Jeff was an excellent host. He responded promptly to our questions and addressed our few small needs while we were there. Our only criticism would be that using a mooring ball to tie up the boat was not convenient given the cold water temperatures early in June. Overall, this was a wonderful place to be.

The property was great. Loved the experience.
