Open floor plan on the first floor allows for a fun family atmosphere. Our house sits on three lots and has a beautiful backyard under the shade of a giant weeping willow tree. Perfect for naps, sports with the kids, grilling out, and bonfires in the evening. We have 3 kayaks with paddles available for use. Lots of quiet places to sit and relax for adults. The large lots allows plenty of space for parking and trailers with boats etc. We offer free WI-FI and the house has multiple smart TVs with apps for Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu etc. The house includes a fully stocked pantry, a chef's kitchen worth of cooking supplies and equipment, as well as brand new stainless appliances. Centrally located in the Village, guests are a block away from the Bass Lake public access, and two blocks away from Elk Lake access- perfect for walks, kayaking, and picnics. The house is walking distance to downtown, the dam for fishing, and just about every dining option in the city. Additionally, we are close to golf, the Elk Lake marina for boats, hiking, biking, kayaking, and a quick drive to Traverse City. Day trips will get you to Sleeping Bear Dunes, a Lookouts game, Mackinac Island, Turtle Creek Casino, skiing, and so many more great attractions that northern Michigan has to offer. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Hulu - Netflix - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking is permitted outside the home ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31100000/31097500/31097426/97f74965.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Huge corner lot, home is a 2-minute walk to beach, playground, and park Elk Rapids - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 77 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=31097426&PinnedHotelID=31097426&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34940000/34936200/34936188/0da2c9f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Village of Elk Rapids Walk to Beach Elk Rapids - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=34936188&PinnedHotelID=34936188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Standard Condo, 2 Queen Beds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102690000/102689100/102689066/899b2112.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Shores Resort Williamsburg - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 7.0 Good 12 reviews CA $89 CA $365 total includes taxes & fees Nov 23 - Nov 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=102689066&PinnedHotelID=102689066&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97040000/97032800/97032764/0ac5f840.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Short's Walk - Sandy Lakefront with Spa / Hot Tub and Kayaks!
