    First time visiting and we loved Elk Rapids. The house was just what we needed and perfect location to downtown, park, and lake. We enjoyed our stay.

    We enjoyed our stay in Elk Rapids. The cottage is right across from a park and beach. Short walk to downtown for restaurants, coffee, and bars. Would love to come back!

    The location was perfect for a family with kids. The beach playground right across the street provided hours of fun and beautiful views. Just a short walk to downtown with cute shops and restaurants. We saw salmon swimming in the river too! Inside the kids loved the bunk beds and TVs in every room! If you have little kids know that the room with the double bed against the wall has a barn-door slider style door instead of a regular one, which can be tricky for little kids (we just put our older kid in that room, so it worked for us). The only thing that threw us off was that we were expected to wash towels AND put them in the dryer before we left. This meant we had to plan an extra hour after our morning showers to head out waiting for the washer to be done so we could change it over to the dryer before leaving. (Other places we've stayed we typically are just asked to pop them in the washer and start it before we go, not have to wait to get it into the dryer). However, I would gladly stay again as this is my only complaint and it is a small inconvenience for staying in such a nice location.

    Very enjoyable stay! Great communication and Mariah was a perfect host. Not on the water but a wonderful location across the road from East Traverse Bay and a superb city park. A short walk to downtown. The house has lots of beds and was comfortable, well equipped and inviting. Only 1 bathroom which might be a little challenging with a large group. We had 4 adults and 2 children and it worked out fine for us. Note that the property only has parking for 2 cars (maybe 3 if they're small and you're creative). Plenty of parking on Main St. adjacent the property but the City does not allow overnight parking. I brought a small boat and was able to park with the trailer at an adjacent under-construction house per Mariah's suggestion. Otherwise I was told there's a lot somewhere in the downtown area where you can park your boat trailer. It worked out fine but may want to inquire further if you have multiple vehicles or a boat-trailer. Overall had a great time!

    This property was very clean and close proximity for so many fun things to do. Great people watching from the porch too. The host is quick to respond to any question. Definitely would go back.

    Great place to stay. I can’t say enough about the host Miriah. She was so helpful and available to answer any questions. The house was clean and cozy and decorated adorable! I would definitely recommend staying here! I think the summer would be awesome as we stayed in the middle of a blizzard but still had a great experience! The view of the bay is right out the front window! Great location close to everything we love in Elk Rapids!
