Kristi is very quick to respond. I spent the week with my grown children and young grandchildren. The house had everything you would need to cook and enjoy your time. The only complaint I have is that it had a lot of glass decorations that I had to put out of reach for the young children. If you have children under 4 years old, you will probably need to child proof when you arrive. Lovely big yard.and room to play. I would rent again if I need four bedrooms. ##### Kathy P.

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. ##### Randy/Linda K.

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. ##### Michael P.

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.

The beds are comfy and there was plenty of room four our small family. The hosts responded instantly when needed and made check in and out super simple.We also loved that our dog was able to vacation with us. Finally, this is a great location for visiting Traverse City, boating on torch lake or just relaxing around the house. Plenty to do and see near this amazing property. ##### Julie F.

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! ##### Roberta H.
