It was very clean, the communication with Monica was great, and it had everything we needed for a great stay. We come to Elk Rapids every year and will be booking Monica's property.

Nicely decorated and had a well stocked kitchen! Pillows and beds were clean and comfortable. You can tell this is a loved home. The 3rd floor attic/loft was a HUGE hit for the kids...a fun kid hangout!!! Gave them a place to get away and do their thing. We loved the firepit outside for s’mores and hanging out at night. Also has a nice big patio table for meals outside. The home provided beach chairs and lots of beach towels (even though we brought our own) It also has a well stocked board game shelf for those rainy days. Location was ideal. A two minute bike ride to town and beach made it so nice for everyone. Downtown Elk Rapids is such a charming little town with a variety of things to do in the summer so you won’t get bored. Monica the owner was so great/friendly to work with. Always available to answer any questions and made sure to check in to see how our stay was going and asked if we had any questions. Really enjoyed working with her! We would definitely rent again!! S. Miller ##### Stacey M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie F.

Everything we could possibly need was available either in walking distance, or already in the house. We did a have a slight hiccup for check in as the last guests had forgotten to complete the check out procedure, but the missed time at check in was provided at our check out to compensate (which we loved). The entire time we had direct communication with Monica, and she was very quick to respond and was very willing to help. Seriously! That 3rd floor room with all the twin beds! It's amazing! All of us adult women wanted to sleep up there because it was THAT COOL!!! It was like a childhood dream come true. This would be an excellent rental for multiple families with younger kids. We had a very nice conversation with the neighbors on check out day, and he said we "did very well," I'm not sure what he expected, but maybe it was because we were all exhausted and sleeping by the city quiet hours of 11pm? We would certainly rent this property again, and maybe bring our kids with us next time! (Maybe... we might have to fight them for that 3rd floor room). ##### Katie F.

The Toomeys maintain their home very well and there was a delightful amount of space to sit on the porch or inside and catch up with loved ones.

The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining room had a large table that could easily accommodate everyone for a sit down dinner. All of the rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful details. We loved sitting on the front porch reading and watching the world go by. The public beach and the shops and restaurants of River Street were just a couple of blocks away, and we walked there several times a day. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it again next summer. ##### Julie J. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth P.

We had 6 kids ranging in from ages 4-17, and we couldn't imagine a better location for all of us to spend a week together near Lake Michigan. The house is spacious, bright, and charming, with a nice porch and back deck, as well as lots of yard space for the kids to run around and play. It's located just 3 blocks from the beach and main street area of the quaint Town of Elk Rapids. This allowed easy trips back and forth for our families to come and go as we pleased. Monica was also an excellent host. The week before we arrived, she helped us to identify trails to ride and run on, and was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout our stay. She recommended reserving a boat rental for Torch Lake, which we did, and it proved to be one of the highlights of the trip. We'll definitely be back! ##### Nathan E.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy H. Aug 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent week in a great house and adorable town Our family of two adults and three boys 6,8, 10 stayed in this house with my parents. We had plenty of room to spread out. The boys loved the third floor which they named “the bunkhouse.” All of the beds were very comfortable. The Victorian charm of this house will melt your heart, but you will be pleased with all of the modern amenities and upgrades. The street was very quiet and the walk to town and beach was very quick and easy. We enjoyed the Ultimate Fishing Charter which we took from the Dock that was 0.3 miles from the house. We rented a water ski boat from Elk River Marina. We rented a lily pad for the kids to jump on from a cute place uptown as well. We enjoyed the little stores in the town. Our kids especially loved the charming little toy store. We loved eating on the water at the Riverwalk Taproom and at Cellar 152. ##### Christy H.

Monica was excellent to work with! Beautiful, relaxing home just a short walk from the lake. Kids loved the house and yard! Hope to return! ##### Jonathan R.
