    This is our second year renting this lovely home. It is in the perfect location, just a couple of blocks from the public beach and River Street. The home is so cheerful and comfortable, with plenty of amenities. We hope to come back again next year!

    We invited friends from out of town to stay at this property during our wedding weekend in Elk Rapids and all had a phenomenal time! There were enough places to sleep for all of us, and the quality of the space made everyone feel they were staying somewhere special. The Toomeys maintain their home very well and there was a delightful amount of space to sit on the porch or inside and catch up with loved ones. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity!

    My family and I loved our stay in this beautiful home! There was plenty of space for all of us (5 adults) with room to spare. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining room had a large table that could easily accommodate everyone for a sit down dinner. All of the rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful details. We loved sitting on the front porch reading and watching the world go by. The public beach and the shops and restaurants of River Street were just a couple of blocks away, and we walked there several times a day. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it again next summer.

    Stayed for an annual girls trip to Traverse City/Torch lake and it was a good location for both! We enjoyed our stay, very walkable neighborhood close to some restaurants. Monica was helpful and our stay was great! We will try to return next year as well!
