    Our fourth time staying at this wonderful home! The entire family loves our week at the Hughes House. Beautiful front porch, short walk to the beach/playground and downtown to shops and restaurants. Large side yard for the kids to play with picnic table to share meals. Always a great up north getaway!

    If you’re looking for a beach house in a great location, this one is great for Elk Rapids. You can see the sunset from the porch, it’s a minute walk to the beach/ play sets for kids and a few minute walk into town. The owners were great when needed. The house is a historic home so even better if you like historic houses.

    This is our second year staying at the Hughes house. The home accommodates our family of seven, five adults and two children, very well. The location is perfect! A three minute walk to the beach and downtown and close to Traverse City. The view from the porch is priceless! And sunsets on the beach are Pure Michigan! This place is a gem!

    Our third time staying at the Hughes House. Plenty of room for our family, love the porch and view of the bay! Bikes, toys and chairs for the beach. Large yard with picnic table where we enjoyed several meals. And to top it off you’re within walking distance to the beach, downtown, restaurants and ice cream! Already booked for next summer! Thank you Ann and Matt for sharing your home.

    The week was perfection. Location, views, activities, and lodging exceeded our expectations. We have a large family and everyone found a place to sleep comfortably in the house. The homeowners are attentive but provide privacy to their guests. We had such a wonderful trip - hope to make this an annual stay.

    Beautiful historic house that was within walking distance to town and beach in quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing atmosphere with hammocks, shaded picnic area, and great wrap around porch. The only problem we encountered was how to work the AC, but we were finally able to figure it out. It might have helped if there had been printed instructions for use.
