Located just two blocks from both Grand Traverse Bay and downtown Elk Rapids, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the wraparound porch, your afternoons at the beach, and your evenings strolling downtown for dinner, ice cream, or a movie before gathering around the fire pit under the stars.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, girls' getaway, horse show trip, or weekend with friends, The Victorian on Pine offers the space, comfort, and location to make your stay unforgettable.

Winter transforms Elk Rapids into a Hallmark movie. Enjoy holiday lights, ice skating, nearby skiing and snowboarding, cozy restaurants, and peaceful snowy walks through town.

Spring offers blooming trees, quiet beaches, and a slower pace before the summer crowds arrive.

No matter the season, Elk Rapids has a way of making you slow down, reconnect, and remember what vacation is all about.

A Home Filled with Memories
We first discovered Elk Rapids in 2016 while our children were competing at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. After renting homes here for several summers, we fell in love with this little town and knew we wanted to become part of the community.
When we found this beautiful Victorian on Pine Street, it felt like home from the moment we stepped onto the porch.

Today, it's our joy to share this special place with families and friends from all over the country. We've hosted reunions, birthdays, baby showers, girls' weekends, horse show families, anniversary celebrations, and vacations spanning three generations.

We hope The Victorian on Pine becomes a place where your family creates traditions, reconnects, laughs a little louder, stays up a little later, and leaves with memories that last long after vacation ends.

We can't wait to welcome you.
Monica & Chris
