Elk Rapids is a quaint, small town that includes a variety of, gift shops, antiques, a movie theater, library and marina. Wake up early to get the best donuts at the local bakery! Stroll through the town and meander down to the marina to get breath-taking views of the Grand Traverse Bay and docked boats.

Elk Rapids is the ideal family vacation spot because it is a quiet, low-key village making it easy to relax and unwind. To get more of an urban atmosphere, Traverse City is only 20-30 minutes away. Travel up Mission Point to all the wineries for a fun afternoon. Charlevoix is a half an hour drive, Petosky approximately 45 minutes, Harbor Springs an hour, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes about an hour. Although summer is the most popular season to travel to northern MI, fall is an exceptionally beautiful time of year as well.
A wonderful house. So comfortable for our fall girls weekend. This house is perfect. So close to downtown Elk Rapids. We will definitely come back to this property.
Property was perfect for our group. It was very well organized and stocked with everything. The location was perfect for enjoying the lakes and the towns.
We barely had to use our car once arriving. The back porch and yard was awesome for afternoon hangouts and napping on the swing. Location was perfect - close walk to TONS to do in town and having the bikes and toys for the kid (6) was a bonus. Highest recommendation from all of the friends and family that stayed.
This cute home had everything we needed to make it a relaxing and fun-filled week. It was so nice to have small things already there- hand soap, paper towel, some coffee, dish soap, etc. Great central location to many Northern Michigan sites and activities and a beautiful back yard. We will be back!
Suzanne was a wonderful host with a beautiful home and perfect location! From the welcome goodies, all the extra amenities she has for you, the necessities she provides to get you started, cleanliness…the coziness of the home…it’s all great and add to it all the short walk or bike ride to an amazingly beautiful beach and water!! Great patio to relax in the evening after a day of boating or spent at the beach! Loved it so much we will be staying with Suzanne again!! Thanks for sharing your home!
The house is clean, updated, walking distance to town/beach and overall an A+. Thanks for a wonderful week in our favorite place on earth!
For those of us who don't want to rough it on our trips up north, this is a great choice! Suzanne's home is very comfortable with thoughtful amenities, in a quiet town with a beautiful beach - exactly as described. We had a great vacation!
We had another fun and memorable vacation week in Elk Rapids staying at the Cedar Street Cottage. Suzanne is an excellent host. You will enjoy her home and the location.
Suzanne, the owner made our week away so enjoyable! She was absolutely the perfect host, and was always available for anything we might need! Her house is very clean, organized and stocked with absolutely everything you need—even baking pans and cake plates(for my daughters who love to bake,) a huge tub of kids toys and books, and even bikes and corn hole! The backyard is amazing with an adorable porch swing, table and chairs, grill and a fire pit! Downtown Elk Rapids, our favorite kid’s park and library in Northern Michigan, and tons of good shopping and dining options are all just blocks away!!! Thank you Suzanne for sharing your beautiful home with our family:)
We enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Street Cottage. The house was very nice and we especially enjoyed the back porch, and spent time on the swing. The location was good for going to town and accessing local restaurants and shops as well as the beach. However, we felt that the instructional signs around the home were a bit intrusive and took away from the relaxing vacation experience. We traveled with our two young children, ages 2 and 4, who also really enjoyed the house and playing both inside and outside. The home was very clean, and the furnishings and decor were very nice.
