It was a delightful spot, nestled between the lake and a cherry orchard. The cottage is clean, solid and quiet. The property is quiet but close to shopping and ice cream! I would absolutely stay again!
Very cozy cottage surrounded my fruit trees and a short walking path to Elk Lake. My kids had a blast swimming and playing here! Overall, a wonderful property with extremely gracious hosts.
The property was spacious and clean, with full kitchen and a wide range of pots and pans, baking sheets, mixing bowls, utensils, etc. Wifi worked well. The location was awesome, just a short walk to Elk Lake, and a short drive to the village of Elk Rapids, plus Traverse City and the whole wonderful area! Lot's of fruit and pie stands along the roads, and orchards everywhere!
We felt at home as soon as we pulled in. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need while on vacation. We had great communication from the owners before checking in and throughout our stay. Great location close to shops & restaurants in downtown Elk Rapids.
We had a great stay at Barb’s home. It started with easy clear communication on the check in process, and we were greeted with snacks and fresh cherries upon arrival. The house is CLEAN, which is a rarity these days and so appreciated. Kitchen is fully stocked, fresh bath and beach towels. Thanks for having us!
The Cottage is very clean with a lake view and lake access. Sitting on the deck while looking at the lake and listening to the wind rustling through the leaves was so serene and relaxing. The Cottage is within minutes of a short car drive to both Elk Rapids and Traverse City for sight seeing trips, shopping or dining out. Enjoyable place to stay. Thank you.
Loved our stay here over the 4th of July. Cottage is located close to everything we wanted to do (Traverse city, torch lake, elk rapids). Very clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Big field in front of the house was great for kids to play. The lake access is nice, bottom is rocky so suggest water shoes. Host was super nice and even brought us a bucket of fresh cherries from the orchard behind the house. Will definitely stay here again!
This property is in a great location with easy driving distance to Elk Rapids, Traverse City, restaurants and shopping. The cabin was clean, airy, spacious and full of light. The furnishings and decor were lovely and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything needed for cooking, baking and serving meals. I found my time spent there quiet and peaceful and enjoyed the beauty and access to Elk Lake. Barb and Dennis were kind and gracious hosts quickly responding to any requests. Putting it quite simply, I’m so looking forward to a return visit next year - one of my best vacations.
Great location...cherry farm and lake location very quiet...
Easy booking,, and great communication with property owner... nice people... close to many locations for boating,, hiking,,or just hanging out.great clean place....
This place was perfect for my weekend away. It’s very peaceful and clean. Barb was a great host and I loved hearing about the history of the property and surrounding area. I definitely hope to come back!
Barbara was a fantastic host and the property was perfect for our weekend getaway! Nestled in the cherry orchards with views of Elk Lake, we’ll surely add to our list of places to return.
I really enjoyed staying at this cottage set amongst cherry trees with a view of the lake. The cottage is well equipped, very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The hosts are very responsive and have thought of all the details to make your stay a success.
We had a really nice stay at the cottage and loved the access to the water. There are tons of great things to do in the area (especially for young children) and the cottage is in a great location. We would visit again!
We enjoyed our stay here very much! It was the perfect location to explore Northern MI.
We appreciated Barb giving us recommendations, and for finding bike trails for us! We hope to be back!
