Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

The Sandbar Lodge at Torch Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, bedding and towels smelled like they had just been laundered. The room was very comfortable. We are already planning a couple of trips back to the area and will be staying here again."

Bass Lake Views & Access. Walk Downtown Elk Rapids.

10/10 Excellent

"The lake view says it all - the peaceful serenity of the surroundings envelopes one upon arrival, and is reflected in the property. Clean, well-appointed, and welcoming, it allowed us to make the most of our brief stay - we will definitely be back!"

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"
