    Winter transforms Elk Rapids into a Hallmark movie. Enjoy holiday lights, ice skating, nearby skiing and snowboarding, cozy restaurants, and peaceful snowy walks through town.

    Spring offers blooming trees, quiet beaches, and a slower pace before the summer crowds arrive.

    No matter the season, Elk Rapids has a way of making you slow down, reconnect, and remember what vacation is all about.

    A Home Filled with Memories
    We first discovered Elk Rapids in 2016 while our children were competing at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. After renting homes here for several summers, we fell in love with this little town and knew we wanted to become part of the community.
    When we found this beautiful Victorian on Pine Street, it felt like home from the moment we stepped onto the porch.

    Today, it's our joy to share this special place with families and friends from all over the country. We've hosted reunions, birthdays, baby showers, girls' weekends, horse show families, anniversary celebrations, and vacations spanning three generations.

    We hope The Victorian on Pine becomes a place where your family creates traditions, reconnects, laughs a little louder, stays up a little later, and leaves with memories that last long after vacation ends.

    We can't wait to welcome you.
    Monica & Chris

Wedding Weekend

We invited friends from out of town to stay at this property during our wedding weekend in Elk Rapids and all had a phenomenal time! There were enough places to sleep for all of us, and the quality of the space made everyone feel they were staying somewhere special. The Toomeys maintain their home very well and there was a delightful amount of space to sit on the porch or inside and catch up with loved ones. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity!

Gorgeous, welcoming home in perfect location!

My family and I loved our stay in this beautiful home! There was plenty of space for all of us (5 adults) with room to spare. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining room had a large table that could easily accommodate everyone for a sit down dinner. All of the rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful details. We loved sitting on the front porch reading and watching the world go by. The public beach and the shops and restaurants of River Street were just a couple of blocks away, and we walked there several times a day. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it again next summer.
