Amazing home and hosts!
The home was absolutely immaculate. A prime location for beach getaways here in northern Michigan. The home was able to accommodate for my group of 11 with 2 dogs with more room to spare. Kristi was an amazing host! Replied back in timely manner and made sure our stay was perfect. Definitely will book again!

Great Home, Great Location and Great Hospitality! Happy Guests!!
Working with Kristi was so easy from booking to arrival, to answering all our questions and checkout. Upon arrival her home was well lit on the outside as well as the inside, which was very nice since we arrived at night. The home was very clean and well taken care of with a very welcome feel. The home was so well stocked with cleaning supplies, spices to do your cooking, kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as plenty of extra towels and linens. Kristi really thought of everything, it was so nice not having to run to the store right away! We enjoyed the convenient location, just a walk to the local grocery store, cute little town with restaurants, boat marina, Elk Rapids Sandbar (beach) and farm stands with freah produce and delicious homemade pies. Our favorite moments were spent at the Elk Rapids beach and watching the most gorgeous sunsets! Elk Rapids beach is a very well kept and dog friendly just in case you decide to bring your pup along. Also, wanted to mention about the very comfy beds! We have a very special place in our hearts for Elk Rapids and our stay at Kristi's home, which is a sure bet we will be returning sometime soon. Thanks Kristi for a wonderful stay!

Perfect House For Family Reunion
This was the perfect house for our Family Reunion. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Littles were all extremely comfortable in this spacious and well appointed home. Kristi was wonderful to communicate with and answered all questions immediately. Super conveniently located less than a block away from Village Market, and also an easy walk to downtown where you can access the beach, playground, restaurants, shopping, etc. Thank you Kristi for a great stay - we will be back!

We had a great stay in a very roomy house for 8 adults and 3 children. We really liked the walk ability of the town-grocery store, downtown Elk Rapids and Shorts were all close. The house was clean, well equipped with everything we needed and in a great quiet neighborhood.

Well-stocked and very comfortable
This was the most well-stocked kitchen in a home we've rented. TVs in every bedroom and living area. Well-suited for multi-generation families as my the older family members can stay on the main level while the younger ones stay in the lower level. We enjoyed the decks and the walkout basement (along with the firepit). Ample outdoor seating. Lovely landscaping. Responsive host. Tons of parking (you can easily fit 7 cars). Close to the village (not to mention the Village Market) and beaches. Look up Torch Lake Pontoon Rentals for a boat rental (the owner Doug was great). We had a great time.

Perfect!
We thoroughly enjoyed this rental. It’s in a nice neighborhood, close to downtown Elk Rapids. Grocery store literally a few steps down the street. Elk Rapids has a beautiful public beach with tennis, pickle ball, basketball courts, play area for children, and bathroom facilities. This house is a couple minutes from it. And you are close enough to enjoy Traverse City and the winery area. This rental has huge yard. Great deck and patio area. Would 100% recommend this house. Owner, Kristi, is very easy to work with.

A lovely home with everything you need.
This rental had a wonderful kitchen, totally stocked, with all new appliances and a large farm sink. The lower level had brand new carpeting and a washer/dryer that were also new and top of the line. The bed linens were very soft and comfortable and the towels were thick and big! Beds were all comfortable and the bedroom with a queen, a twin, and a trundle bed were perfect for our son and his family. There were lots of kid toys and games which our family really enjoyed as our weather was somewhat chilly and rainy.

Well-kept home in a very good location
Family of 10 with 4 young children and 6 adults with plenty of space for all of us. Location was very good with ~1 mile to the desired park/beach on Elk Lake and downtown. Plenty of offering nearby and a few hundred feet from a perfectly appointed market that met our family’s needs for the week. Would stay here again and will definitely be back in the area in the future.

PERFECT HOME. Every inch of the home was CLEAN - wow. The home had a truly well-appointed kitchen, with an excellent Weber grill and back-yard spaces (upper deck, lower patio, and grassy area for little ones). We enjoy cooking and visiting outside (and evening bon fires) and this home did not disappoint! The beds/rooms were all comfortable, and the two living room areas gave our group space to spread out. The internet was fast (a few of us worked remotely a bit), and TVs/ROKUs in each bedroom and both living areas allowed everyone a space to retreat with entertainment for all. PERFECT LOCATION. We loved the quiet neighborhood, and that we could walk to the marina, downtown, and the grocery store. The Elk Rapids Marina on Elk Lake is NEW. From that marina, you can boat on Elk Lake AND Lake Skegemog AND Torch! The boat ride to Torch was easy and safe for a large boat. This is a great home base for exploring Charlevoix, Traverse City, Torch Lake, and the area orchards and wineries! I would highly recommend this home for your Michigan adventure!

Wonderful Vacation Home
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is modern, air-conditioned, spacious, & comfortable. The two levels allowed us to gather as a family and also enjoy some private times. Kristy was available & responsive & we really appreciated being able to use the plates, cups & cooking supplies & the generous snacks left for us. Our kids really enjoyed the spacious yard for games and I enjoyed the quiet & quaint neighborhood as I walked our two dogs in the morning. Elk Rapids is ideally situated between Traverse City & Charlevoix, making trips north & south easy & reasonably quick. In Elk Rapids, we enjoyed a nearby beach, galleries, golf course, & restaurants, including Pearl's New Orleans. We made some great memories over the week - cooking, dining together on the outdoor deck, playing games, watching movies, & enjoying the Persiod meteor showers & spectacular stars at night.) This is an extremely comfortable home & we were very sad to leave. (One small thing: we couldn't seem to get the dryer to dry well, so maybe ask Kristy how that's done.) But, without reservation, this is a great home I would highly recommend for a wonderful family vacation!

Very Clean and Comfortable Nice Property
This property is in Elks Rapids, just 10 minutes north of the Grand Traverse Resort. It is a home with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, 2 car driveway. Has two large dens (one up and on down), lots of TVs, wireless network, washer and dryer. Owner is very nice. A great procedure for check-in (has an electronic front door lock with codes). Recommend for any family or group of golfers (there were 3 couples) who is looking for reasonably priced and very nice family home for the Traverse City area.

"Felt like home"
This house was amazing! I felt right at home as soon as I walked up and saw the same front door wreath that I have on my house. The place is beautifully decorated throughout and had everything we could have needed for our stay and nicer amenities than I would have expected in a rental. This owner has thought of everything to make your time here welcoming and wonderful. I loved the spaciousness and how the rooms are arranged. There were 12 of us staying together for a week and this place was roomy enough so we weren't in each others way. Centrally located to everything we wanted to do and walking distance to others. I had many questions as this was my first time renting and Kristi answered quickly and kindly. I would highly recommend this home and hope to be back soon myself! A+

Beautiful home
We had a great stay at this elk rapids home. It was beautiful inside and Kristi the owner was very accommodating. There were TVs in every bedroom which was very nice for the kids and every bedroom was very nice. We especially loved how the grocery store (which is huge and has everything you’ll need) was right down the street. We really liked elk rapids as well. It was a short drive to the downtown and beach. You can walk it too. The beach is great and the water is so clean and calm. Very nice! We really enjoyed our stay.
