Our wonderful vacation home is on 135 feet of gorgeous Elk Lake. It is located on the dead end of a small private road and heavily landscaped to create maximum privacy. We have a small sandy beach perfect for the kids, spectacular swimming off the dock, the best sunsets, and what we feel is the perfect location. We are 6 miles from the cute village of Elk Rapids on Lake Michigan, 23 miles from the Traverse City Airport, and just over an hour to exploring the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore to the west, and Charlevoix/Petosky/Harbor Springs attractions to the north.
Our cottage is uniquely positioned just yards from the water. We love the close proximity of the shore, dock and hoist to our kitchen and deck as well as the sound of the water at night from our bedroom.
As our photos show our ground floor living space is completely open between our large family, kitchen and dining areas. This has facilitated so many great memories with everyone of all ages congregating in the same area whether playing games, watching tv/movies, listening to music, cooking or dining..On cooler evenings the fireplace and it's wood burning insert make ir all cozy. We also have a portable brass firepit for evenings on the beach for marshmallows or smores.
Our ground floor master bedroom is located off the kitchen with windows looking out the beach and lake. It has a queen bed with a large walk in closet. It also has an oversized bathroom and shower which accommodated the first owners wife's' disabilities. Sliders out the side lead to a covered grilling area between our house and the garage. This makes easy access between the kitchen and the gas grill and/or Big Green Egg smoker.
The second floor holds three bedrooms. At the top of the stairs is a large bedroom overlooking the lake that sleeps four with two twins and trundle beds beneath. It has it's own ensuite full bath.
Across the hall is a nice bedroom with a queen size bed. It shares a full bath off the hallway with the fourth bedroom that is over the garage at the end of the hallway. It is a very large room with four twins and sitting area.

    My family and I spent a week in July at this fantastic house on Elk Lake. Fantastic accommodations. Large bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. We were able to entertain our extended family during the week. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to moor it in front of the house. Kids loved the beach. Great family vacation. Hopefully we can do it again next year.

    This is our 3rd stay at the house and we love the location and space that it has. It’s close to many things we like to do and only 30 mins from Traverse.

    My family had a great week staying at this home. Beautiful sunsets, great swimming off the dock, and our kids really took advantage of playing in the sand/beach area on the property. The rooms and closets in the house are very generous in size and the house is well laid out for family hang out time, but you can also get away for quiet time if needed.

    This was our 2nd stay with you and we once again enjoyed the house and location. Plenty of room for our family of 10. We had the best week yet of weather getting 4-5 lake days of just enjoying the water. Great places to walk for some of us, close to many activities for young and old. Definitely recommend…..
