The kitchen in the main cabin was stocked with everything we needed. There is a very nice outdoor grill, picnic tables that are gorgeous and a great firepit. The host even supplied wood (we didn't use it but it was a wonderful touch). The beds were super comfy and we were close to everything. The Ames Cafe across the street has a fantastic breakfast. They open at 9:00am everyday so get there early as they are packed. We are looking forward to our next visit. ##### Kris H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberta C.

Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fourth of July Overall we had a great time at this property. Had a little bit of a rocky start when the cleaning crew had not came through. However, the property manager worked fast to solve the problem. We returned to a super clean home and the rest of the stay was phenomenal. The only complaint I have was their were quite a few bugs in the main home; ants on the counters and fruit flys in surrounding areas. ##### Paige F. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer O. Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adorably decorated and incredibly convenient! We were on a 2 week road trip to the UP and western shoreline of Michigan and this was our favorite place we stayed! Super cute, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Everything you need in a rental was included. The location was ideal too. We walked everywhere. It was nice staying in Elk Rapids and was a short drive to everything you want to do in Traverse City as well. Highly recommend staying here! ##### Jennifer O.
