About this property
Massage Chair*8 separate beds*near Pictured Rocks
Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to Elf House! This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home that offers 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, 2 single beds (or another king bed), 1 bunk bed, 1 twin sofa sleeper and 1 futon. Home is conveniently located less than 5 miles from Munising, the beginning of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It also is about 2 blocks from area ORV/snowmobile trailhead and walking distance to Christmas Casino, gas station, and Foggy's Steakhouse. Home offers a 1 car attached heated garage and large backyard.
Bedroom 1 with a king bed is on the main floor next to a bathroom. Bedroom 2 is in the basement with a queen bed and 2 twin XL beds (or can combined to make a king bed). Basement also has an additional family room?bedroom with a set of bunk beds in it and a futon. Main level living room has a twin sofa sleeper available also. We added a massage chair in January 2023 in the main living room that can help soothe your aching body after riding or hiking all day! Both living rooms and the kitchen area have a TV with Roku and a complimentary Amazon Prime subscription. There is not cable or local channels, but there is reliable fiberoptic internet service. There is a cozy electric fireplace in the basement family room added in January 2025 as well. Our home has 2 full bathrooms, both are on the main level, and an on demand tankless water heater, so everyone gets a hot shower :) We do allow up to 2 dogs, but there will be a $75 non-refundable pet charge, if approved. Please check if your furry friend is allowed. The backyard is not fenced in so dogs must be on a leash when taken outside. There is a scooper and baggies in garage to clean up after your pet. We do ask that you try to keep them off the furniture or put down some sheets which are provided in the closet near the front door.
Guests have access to the whole home other than a locked storage closet in basement, including the laundry facilities and garage.
We live nearby if you should need anything but will not come over unless asked to. If you have any questions or concerns, please message through the app or call me if an emergency.
The neighborhood is an area of homes that is quiet and private. The home is within walking distance to Foggy's Steakhouse, Kewadin Casino and gas station/party store. The local trailhead is less than 2 blocks from home so you can ride to them from the driveway. We like our neighbors and appreciate our guests being respectful of quiet times, especially when leaving early or arriving late, particularly if on snowmobiles/ATVs. Please also save the ripping on your machines for the trails and not on our quiet, residential street.
* Must use stairs to enter home and to access basement * $75 Non refundable pet charge for up to 2 dogs, with approval * Signed rental agreement and security deposit hold required for all reservations. Primary guest will need to send a picture of government issued ID and list names and ages of all other guests in their group * There are 2 audio/video security cameras that are on 24/7/365 and motion activated. One faces the driveway and the other camera faces the entry doors and front porch

Host was available if needed. House was clean and had TP AND paper towels available along with complete kitchen. As snowmobilers the driveway was nice and wide for 4 towing vehicle's and sleds. Garage and mud room were great for gear.
Our family of 6 stayed at the Elf house and it was perfect for visiting pictured rocks area. The house is exactly as pictured and has plenty of room! The home is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access and plenty of parking. The massage chair was a big hit for the whole family
The house and the host are both top notch. The host has already thought of every detail to make the stay comfortable and the location is perfect. This is one of the, if not the best, VRBO I've ever stayed in. The host could write a book to educate other hosts on how to do things professionally. Book it!
The Elf house was perfect for our snowmobile trip. It had all the amenities we needed. The heated garage was great for drying out the sleds and gear after a long day of riding. I would stay there again!
Spacious home with all the accommodations needed when away from home. Minutes away from Munising. Great restaurant- Foggy’s just down the road. Danielle was very responsive to questions. Would stay here again!
My friends and I had a great stay at the Elf House in Christmas, MI. The location was great, just 40 mins from Marquette and 5 mins from Munising. The house was very clean, well stocked, and the spacious backyard was great for our dogs to run and play in. Communication with the host was very easy and quick. I would highly recommend a stay at the Elf House!
We had a wonderful time,the Elf House was close to everything had all the amenities we needed, our group of 10 appreciated having 2 bathrooms with plenty of towels, the massage chair is awesome after a day of hiking, would definitely stay again!! We love the UP!!!
Danielle was a great host. We enjoyed the location of the Elf House as we could walk to the steakhouse and the Casino. The basement is much cooler than the main floor so don’t be afraid to ask how to adjust for this. The best part of this house is the massage chair - it was amazing!
Our stay was awesome. The property owner was easy to reach and responded quickly to any concerns we had. The property had everything we needed for our stay. House was very clean and had easy access. Convenient to restaurants and fuel. Definitely have this on our list of places to stay again.
Had a great time. The home was very clean and the checkin and access to the home was very easy. Also the home is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Contact with owner was easy and got prompt responses. If you need a place to stay I would highly recommend the Elf House.
Came for a long weekend to spend time with family. The house was spacious and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. Everyone loved the massage chair and we enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. Danielle was very quick to answer our questions and very willing to help. We would definitely stay here again!
A lovely house ina lovely location … a furnished porch to watch the rain and yard for the dog. Many thoughtful touches inside from makings for somemores to soaps, shampoos and many fluffy towels . The hosts were helpful and accessible …the house was remodeled and clean
Great location. Close to all activities. Downstairs could use a bathroom. Downstairs all group sleeping. Good for families but not for privacy. Dining room table a great size.
The owners are very friendly and the renting process very easy! Everything you would need plus more were provided! The house was very clean and easy to relax in! Had a GREAT time in the ELF house many great family memories made!!! Thank you so much!!!
We enjoyed our stay. The Elf House was as listed. Very well equipped kitchen, coffee maker but no Keurig. Bathrooms looked like they have been recently remodeled. King and queen Mattresses we very comfortable. We wished there would have been a bathroom downstairs. We had a problem with TV's when we arrived, called Danielle, the owner, she was there within 5 minutes and fixed the problem. We were very pleased and would stay here again when in the area.
The property was ideal for people staying to ride. We used the garage for sled storage and repairs. The mud room was perfect for taking off your gear and hanging it up. We will be back!
My husband Kevin and I have been managing vacation rentals since 2016. We enjoy providing lodging and a place to call home for others to share the beauty of this amazing area. He was born and raised in the area, while I am from the lower peninsula.
Why they chose this property
This has a nice private backyard including sand box for kiddos, fire pit, picnic table and a deck/patio area with a gas grill. We added a bathroom so there are now 2 full baths with an on-demand water heater and plenty of hot water for everyone. For our winter enthusiasts, a nice, heated one car garage to work on your toys if needed. We also added a large mudroom with plenty of room for all your gear. This home has lots of room for a large group but is also cozy for smaller groups as well. The massage chair is a nice addition to use after a long day of outdoor adventures.
What makes this property unique
One of the unique benefits for this home is a great location for year round adventures. Close to gas station/convenience store, casino, and Foggy's Steakhouse while only a couple blocks from Christmas trailhead. It is less than 5 miles from downtown Munising, the beginning of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
