Cozy Retreat with Elk Lake Access

10/10 Excellent

"The property was extremely clean, very attractive, comfortable, had adequate space for a family, was well accessorized, and is located conveniently in relationship to Elk Rapids for groceries, souvenir shopping and activities. The hostess responded very promptly to questions and the atmosphere was relaxing. The only drawback would be you are not on the water but you can see and have access to the water. It definitely deserves an A and I would highly recommend it to everyone."
