Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

Torch Lake Sandbar Directly Across the Street With Indoor Boat Slip Unit A

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing. Super clean, comfortable beds and walking out the back door to the boat house was very convenient. Communication was very good, they let us know we could check in early and check out late without even asking. Much appreciated! Would definitely rent again."

Elk Rapids Lakeshore Inn

8/10 Good

"It was clean and nice place. The water pressure was low in shower. Toilet kind of bubbled and won't flush all the way."

Dexter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great renovated hotel with spacious rooms, friendly staff, cozy lounge … perfect spot to explore surrounding areas and beaches."

Charming Torch Lake 3-bedroom 1 bath one floor Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Worked perfect for us"

Torch Lake Cabin near launch with boat option

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice house in a secluded area and across street from the Boat launch which was great. Would stay again!! Also great communication with the host."

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!"
