Great lake house for family vacation

Great lake house for a family retreat. The house was well stocked, especially the kitchen. Plenty of water toys for the whole family to enjoy out on/by the lake. Nicole was a great host, very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely book again!

Amazing Elk Lake Gem

We had an amazing Labor Day weekend stay at Nicole’s place. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to complement our trip. She recommended a boat rental that worked out perfectly for us and everyone enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle board on-site. Huge yard and plenty of space, couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Great house on a beautiful lake!!

We had a wonderful time at this Elk Lake property! The house had plenty of room for 10 adults and 6 kids to enjoy time together. The kitchen was well stocked and it was great having two fridges to use, as well as washer and dryer! House was clean and comfy, but could use some updates here and there. The dock was convenient to have for the pontoon, however it could have used a good cleaning before our arrival. Having the extra canoe, paddleboard, kayaks and toys for the kids was awesome! Nicole was very responsive to any questions or problems we had. The lake was beautiful and we were able to find some sandbars which was perfect for swimming! Elk Rapids has a great downtown area that is a short drive from the house. We will definitely consider this property for future vacations!

Family Vacation 2023

House was perfect for our family, young and old! Nicole was great about reaching out and checking in periodically during our stay. Less than a 2 hour drive to Mackinaw City to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island, perfect day trip. Or just hangout at the house and enjoy the views, the water and fire pit! Main floor living area was perfect place to relax with the family. Our family absolutely loved our Michigan vacation on Elk Lake!

Excellent!!!!

We had a fabulous stay! The house was perfect for our family of 13. Amazing yard, sandy beach for the kids, and so well stocked!!!! Other reviews mentioned the downstairs being outdated. It may have been a bit outdated but still felt very clean and extremely comfortable. We had zero complaints. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, air conditioning worked great. We loved the large living room for tv/movies in the evening with the fam. Also loved the downstairs extra indoor porch area. Was perfect for reading, exercising, practicing music…just a nice space if you needed a little alone time. Nicole was so responsive and kind in all of her communication. We would absolutely stay here again!
