We had a wonderful time in Elk Rapids! We all agreed it just needed better pillows, the beds were comfortable otherwise.

Our second time here. The location is one of the main reasons we stay here. Walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids and the beach. Originally we booked this because it is pet friendly. The only thing we were disappointed in is the lawn was thick as a hay field. No big deal since we didn't have to cut it. Price and location are the main reasons we continue to come back.

The house was very cute, listing was accurate. Location was excellent, easy walk to the beach and downtown shopping. Kids loved the beach playground. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only hiccups were that we didn't get an automatic message with the check in information. However, the host replied very quickly to my question of how to check in, so it didn't really effect our stay. There were also a lot of little fly bugs on the ceiling corners in the kitchen when I checked in. I was able to vacuum them up in a few minutes and they stayed gone the rest of our stay, so likely someone before us just opened the window without a screen. Otherwise it was very clean (no issues with beds, bathroom or counters). There was also a nice peek a boo view of the bay from the kitchen, living room and upstairs bedroom!

Great Location for Last-Minute UpNorth Trip

The location of your Elk Rapids home worked out perfectly for our last minute trip. Very walkable to restaurants and the beach and pickleball courts at the park. It was also convenient for our excursions to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Petoskey. Communications with you and check-in/out process went smoothly. Would stay again if in the area.

Great Winter Get-Away!

This is our 3rd time staying in the home and we just can’t say enough about the home and owners! So quick and easy to communicate with. The home is wonderful! Perfect for our family. And we really love the town of Elk Rapids especially in the Winter. Restaurant and shops are located very close by. You can walk to downtown from the home. The home is very comfortable and well taken care of. The owners provide necessities, so you don’t need to feel like you have to bring every little thing from home, making for an easy, relaxing get away! We would highly recommend this rental and owners! Thank you again for everything!

Excellence in Elk Rapids

We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Steve & Tami's place on Spruce Street. Their cozy and well kept place was a fabulous base of operations for our trip to join local friends for celebrating St. Pat's Day. Four of us from out of town and our friends from Kewadin enjoyed a couple of meals together and time just hanging out in the comfortable living room. We took a couple of walks into town, and a couple of drives into Traverse City. A fabulous time was had!
