Overview Welcome to our charming waterfront home, a peaceful oasis nestled amidst the natural beauty of farms (including Flintfield horsepark), wineries, orchards, golf courses, and Traverse City's many other amenities. Built in 1950 and thoughtfully renovated in mid-century modern aesthetic, our home offers a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for your vacation. Living & Dining Step inside to find a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a refrigerator, stovetop, dishwasher, and oven – everything you need to prepare delicious meals. We've also stocked it with essential accessories to make your stay hassle-free. Gather in the cozy living area full of windows opening to water and sunset views, enjoy breakfast at the dining table for six, or head to the bonus room and chill out in one of the two egg chairs - each holds two people.

There is also a futon in the bonus room if you just need to spread out. The full bathroom features a convenient tub/shower combination.

Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Horse Show/Family Vacation Combo The Elk Edge property was a perfect getaway for our two weekends at the Traverse City Horse Show. The proximity to Flintfields was super convenient. The property was beautiful, extremely clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. I am very particular about staying places and Elk Edge was very comfortable and felt like home. Watching the sunset on the lake and then sitting by the campfire was a perfect way to end a long day at the show. There are lots of deer around the lake area, which was also a special treat to see. The owners were very responsive if we had any questions and were great to work with. Would definitely love to visit again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68599399-73c6-4765-9cbc-ee5df5729a7f-1750958434354.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachael L.
