Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

Bass Lake Views & Access. Walk Downtown Elk Rapids.

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay!"

Dexter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I honestly have never left a review in 20 years of traveling. Good or bad. This was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at. My wife and I booked a standard room on a whim and were more satisfied than some suites we've spent hundreds on for a weekend. The cocktail lounge is small but intimate and you won't get a bad drink. This place exceeded all expectations. Props to the hotel management and staff. Incredible gem you guys have created"

"Great home."

Torch Lake Sandbar Directly Across The Street With Outdoor Dock Slip Unit B

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend. The property is very well-appointed with everything you'd need to cook in and self-entertain! Places like this make it so much easier to pack when you don't need to plan for the "what-ifs." I may actually prefer not being directly on the bigger body of water (with beautiful Torch Lake just across the street) to take advantage of the access to the paddle boards and kayaks. The launch ramp was sweet! We had a great time and topped it off with a very fairly priced pontoon boat rental from the property on Monday and were able to cruise all over Torch Lake. Meagan was very easy to reach and we felt like we were on top of everything throughout the process. We are already planning to return next year and are grateful for our accommodating and considerate guests! Thank you!"

Private Dock! Boat to Famous Sand Bar!
