Betty’s & her home were beautiful, impressively clean, organized & well stocked. Just a couple blocks walk to the Main Street of town, restaurants, shopping, lake & beach in Elk Rapids makes the location very convenient. She responded to any requests immediately. We accidentally locked our selves out and before we were back from that days outing she had already replaced the key in the lock box for us My children and grandchildren stayed with us. Betty even had plenty of toys ready inside & outside, for my granddaughters. Some of our favorite times were on Betty’s large wrap around, covered porch for coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the evening while the kids played.We will look forward to staying again for sure!!
