Beautiful Year Round House On Sunset Side Of Elk Lake.

Rapid City, Michigan, United States

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 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.br 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.br 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.br 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.br Across the hall is a nice bedroom with a queen size bed.

Torch Lake Waterfront Wonder--crystal clear water & shallow sandy walk-out

Rapid City, Michigan, United States

This home is on the ideal south end of Torch Lake, which is one of the world's most beautiful lakes--a sandy bottom, crystal clear water plus amazing turquoise and deep blue tropical colors the deeper it gets. On this property, it is shallow enough to enjoy walks from the shorefront all of the way to the drop off (you can literally walk for approximately 1/2 mile to the drop off, which is where it finally gets super deep), or just hang out in the water gathered around the large dock and enjoy time together swimming, playing games or just floating in this beautiful clear lake. brbrSun rises to the right and sets to the left--both times of the day, making for a beautiful view. If not in the water, sit on land, relax and enjoy the view from the spacious front yard & patio or the newly renovated large dock. Lastly, if you would prefer to be inside (or the weather forces you to be inside), enjoy the nice view from multiple gathering areas, where you can relax, play inside games or just watch TV. brbrThe yard has plenty of room for the kids (& adults) to run around and play games or just hang out. brbrIf renting a boat, it is not too shallow to bring it to the dock to load up the crew for a day of boating. There are two mooring buoys right out front also. brbrIn the evening, enjoy eating on the patio or the dock to enjoy the view and weather. Or if weather isn't cooperating, there is plenty of room inside for the crew to eat and hang out. After dinner, you can enjoy a lakeside bonfire and roast s'mores if you desire!brbrThis home has 3 large gathering areas (upstairs, main level, basement), a large kitchen, 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. It has been newly remodeled. It is the perfect house for fun-bunching with everyone OR escaping on your own in one of the many spaces throughout the house.brbrThis home has a large basement which has a full bathroom, a sitting area with a large TV and a couch, an area with two bunkbeds (twin over full bunk beds) and finally a lovely view of the lake through windows & French doors. This basement doubles as a 6th bedroom and/or a 3rd gathering space (aka 3rd family room).brbrThere is a grocery store just down the road and several restaurants nearby. Additionally, Alden and Elk Rapids are both a short 15 min drive with quaint shops and restaurants. Bellaire (with Short's Brewery) is just a tad further drive. Traverse City is a 35 min drive with shopping, restaurants, airport and more--a definite must visit!brbrIn the winter, multiple ski resorts and tubing locations are close by as well as places to rent snowmobiles. Winters are beautiful here in northern Michigan--lots of snow and opportunities to enjoy it to its fullest or just cozy up in this beautiful home and enjoy the snow from the indoors!brbrYou will not be let down with this beautiful home and wonderful location on Torch Lake. We are very excited to be able to share this gem with you and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.brbr***Although the VRBO policy for this home states No Refund, the owner can offer a hybrid cancelation policy and is described below:brbrIf the tenant cancels before 60 days of arrival date, the tenant receives refund of fees paid to date, minus a 5% cancelation fee.brbrIf the tenant cancels inside of 60 days of arrival date, the tenant receives 0% refund, ALTHOUGH:brbrIf the property is re-booked for the same dates and same rate, the tenant WILL receive a refund of the rental base rate paid, minus a 5% cancelation fee. (Regarding refunding the damage insurance and VRBO fees paid, it depends on how close to the arrival date the re-booking occurs and will be looked into at the time of the re-booking.) brbrIf the property is re-booked for the same dates BUT less than the original rate, the tenant will receive the balance of the rental base rate paid, minus a 5% cancelation fee and less the amount necessary to make full payment to the owner. Homeowner reserves the right to reduce the original rental rate in order to attempt to secure a paid reservation prior to arrival date.br
