The lake and beach were breath taking. The picture doesn't do it justice. There was plenty of room for 12 of us from 10 months old to 85 years old. We enjoyed our afternoon in Elk Rapids. There's a great playground on the beach with plenty of shade and bathrooms near by. The house had a wonderful stock of dishes, pots & pans and staples. I've never stayed at a rental with so many basics! If you have the opportunity to stay here, you won't be disappointed! ##### amsran172 S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristi K.

We had a wonderful time at this Elk Lake property! The house had plenty of room for 10 adults and 6 kids to enjoy time together. The kitchen was well stocked and it was great having two fridges to use, as well as washer and dryer! House was clean and comfy, but could use some updates here and there. The dock was convenient to have for the pontoon, however it could have used a good cleaning before our arrival. Having the extra canoe, paddleboard, kayaks and toys for the kids was awesome! Nicole was very responsive to any questions or problems we had. The lake was beautiful and we were able to find some sandbars which was perfect for swimming! Elk Rapids has a great downtown area that is a short drive from the house. We will definitely consider this property for future vacations! ##### Jessica S.

Let's get any issues out of the way because the trip itself was perfect. Our trip took place 6/8-6/15 and apparently the gnats are in full force this time of year. We had no idea so we had exterior lights on and also installed some red/white/blue mini lights around the deck railing..man was that a mistake. The deck and back of the house was covered in gnats. The bushes along the front road were also covered in gnats. Lesson learned and we left the lights off moving forward and didn't have any issues. The host also mentioned that it could have been caused by the rain they recently received. Other than that we had a minor issue with the AC going out that was quickly resolved and the fridge in the basement didn't work but sounded like it was going to be replaced right away. Now the good stuff! The host was very easy to communicate with and responsive to all issues and questions. The house overall was great for our family. Clean and nicely decorated. The backyard was great other than the goose poop. Not sure how you get around that. The little beach was perfect for the little kiddos. The dock worked great for securing our boat. The water was about as clear as I have ever seen. It was so awesome to travel from Elk lake to Skegemog to the Torch River (which was our favorite part) to the sandbar on Torch lake. Torch River Shack was perfect for fueling up. Torch Sandbar is a must. Overall great experience and would highly recommend this lake and house! ##### Matt W.

A little sandy beach area for the little ones to enjoy, which they did. A much appreciated large grass area. We setup soccer nets, badminton-volleyball net, plenty of room outside to enjoy!

The house was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The kids loved the kayaks and paddle board and the lake was beautiful! We had a great stay! ##### Stefanie B.

We came upon this property this year and couldn't have been happier. The location was wonderful. Everything about the house was great. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend, made easy with this owner and property manager. ##### Alexis M.

Had a really great time during our stay. The house is decorated beautifully and definitely gives you the “beach” feel. We only used the main floor but this place would be great for a larger group. Nicole was great and quick to answer our questions. The view from the back deck is gorgeous. Would stay here again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MOLLIE PACK L.
