Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
This was our summer home while raising five children, now they are grown and busy. We want to share the lake and memory making possibilities with our guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
After visiting many lakes in Michigan, we found the best one for our family. Elk Lake is a perfect combination of clear Caribbean water, low boating traffic, and it's close to a charming town with great restaurants. Our favorites are Founders, Pearls, and Riverwalk Grill. For pizza try Jac's Parlor - they may even deliver.
What makes this property unique
Amazing views down Elk Lake, on a clear day you can see the south end of the lake which is about seven miles away! Those views are accessible from almost every room of the house. Elk Lake is connected to Torch Lake through Skegamog Lake and Torch River, spend an entire day boating the famous Chain of Lakes.
