    Great Property. Only issue was bath/shower on upper floor. No shower, just a tub with a shower attachment. Very clean and well equipped. I'd highly recommend this property

    We really enjoyed the proximity to the Elk Rapids public beach and downtown Elk Rapids. Everything was within walking distance :)

    This property offered everything our family needed for a great stay. Wonderfully clean, beautifully decorated, plenty of space and all the amenities you will need. The garage space was a great place for fun with billiards, ping pong and air hockey. We missed enjoying the sun room but look forward to seeing it next year. The location, right across from the beach, made for great sunset views. The charm of Elk Rapids and the friendliness of its' people made for a warm, inviting stay. Thanks to Don and Renee for responding quickly to any questions we had. We really felt like it was important to them that we enjoyed our visit.

    This grand house in elk rapids was perfect for our family gathering. We had a wonderful time - with lots of room for four couples. The walk across the road to the bay to watch the sunsets was a daily highlight. The quaint town itself is a little walk down the street. A treasure for sure - Be prepared for stairs - four bedrooms are up. Thank you to the owners - Renee and Don - for the opportunity. .

    We had a great time being close to the beach and our family who live across the street! We had great weather and a lot of fun! Plenty of space to spread out with young kids!

    The Widow’s Walk was so special in many ways. We were in Elk Rapids for the interment of our beloved father and grandfather. It was a time of love, loss and sharing. The Widow’s walk was perfect. The large size of the property afforded privacy for all parties but still remained intimate and welcoming. Our family spent time on the beach across the street and on rainy days the rec room/garage was the place to be or the library which was another favorite space. The kitchen was well equipped but we did run out of tea towels often, we are a family of cooks and we spend lots of time in the kitchen. Otherwise, there was plenty of bath and bed linens and the beds and pillows ensured that everyone had a wonderful rest every night. We love Elk Rapids and hope to visit the Widow’s Walk again. Many thanks to Gerry and Renee for giving us this opportunity for a special family gathering.
