Welcoming and comfortable stay for our family and dog while we were celebrating our son's wedding. It was perfect. Dave, the host, was very responsive to our questions.
We had the nicest vacation at Elk Lake! Home has abundant space and was very cozy, with ample room for us all. You will want for nothing - the hosts have provided amenities galore and were very attentive. Thank you Dave & Lorrie! We will be back!
This house is thoughtfully set up and well equipped with kitchen gear, outdoor furniture and comfortable beds. Elk Rapids is an adorable town and the gorgeous beach was filled with friendly people. The house is about 17 minutes to the horse showgrounds which was ideal for us.
We recommend dinner at the picnic table in the breezeway where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
A really nice place in a very convenient location. The rooms are nice but the best part is the outside covered breezeway. It is a really great place to hang out in the evening.
This was a relaxing stay. 5 minute drive to Elk Rapids, with great beach and marina. Grocery and Pearl's are even closer. We enjoyed the firepit with sunset each evening, while grilling and playing cornhole. The house was very clean and had good space and amenities for cooking. Thank you for your hospitality.
This property is special. Great location to grocery store, elk rapids, hiking, lakes, and horse show. Super clean, cozy, spacious, great outdoor areas as well to congregate next to a fire. The bathrooms are huge and beds are all comfortable. Loved the whole ambience and can’t wait to come back. Check in was seamless and easy communication with owner and help. Thank you for sharing your property! Jamie

Awesome experience!
First, the owners were excellent to deal with and very helpful in sharing information about the area and things to do prior to our stay. Second, the house was in immaculate condition. There were 7 of us. It was me and my wife with our 5 kids ranging from 26 y.o. to 17 y.o. and had plenty of space. Having two full baths and a half bath worked well with that many people. Having the breeze way between the garage and the house was a great gathering place with the portable gas fire pit. We were out there every night. The sunsets in the back yard through the farmer's fields were beautiful. We brought our pontoon along and kept it at the Elk Rapids Marina in town which is only two miles from the cabin. Everything was close by and convenient .
We will definitely rent from David again!

The owner is incredibly friendly and responsive. The house is beautiful and just as represented in photos. U get a peak of beautiful Elk Lake from the house. We really enjoyed our stay. So much room and a relaxing time. 👍🏻
Just as pictured! Very clean and accommodating to an 8 person group. The beds were very comfortable! The location perfect between Traverse, Elk and Charlevoix. Loved downtown Elk Rapids! Would have loved an outdoor firepit, but the gas one was very nice also. No complaints!
New, Squeaky Clean and Perfect Location for a Getaway
When looking for a vacation home for a little getaway, we wanted a home that was clean, updated and close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Torch Lake and allowed pets. This home checked every box! From the beautiful interior that was squeaky clean to the kitchen that had everything you could want to make a meal or just a snack, it was perfect. The owners are very quick to respond to any questions about the area or the house and have made this a home away from home for us all. For anyone looking in the Traverse City area and want to bring your pup with you (this home has a small fenced in area off the primary bedroom for your pup!) look no further. We will definitely be back!
What a wonderful home and host! Clean, great communication, nice location, and had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. Highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area!
It would be nice to have more of a seating area with a couch and a bigger TV. Other than that the house was nicely stocked with supplies you would need.
Perfect property for our group of 4 (but could definitely accommodate double that!). Location is fantastic and the house is well-equipped with tons of extras.
We really enjoyed our stay and communication with the owners was easy. The location was terrific for access to Elk Lake and downtown Elk Rapids. The house was well appointed. We would definitely stay again!
Relaxing, comfortable retreat with all the amenities!
The owner has thought of everything! The cleanliness was superb! Our search started by wanting something clean/well maintained and our stay/this cabin exceeded every expectation! Perfect stay to include our four legged family member that we enjoyed to the max! Thank you David - what a perfect cabin to enjoy such a unique, beautiful place! We would love to come back!
Had a great time! It was an excellent location as a home base for day trips around the area. Great experience!

About the host
Hosted by David
As a Michigander that left home at the age of 19 to join the Coast Guard, I always dreamed of having a cabin up north. My family has vacationed in the Elk Lake area for 45 yrs. As a builder, I designed and built our brand new rustic cabin, which is decorated with a lighthouse décor. I was a lighthouse keeper in the Coast Guard from 1976 thru '78. Being stationed in Alaska for four years, we have tried to capture that simplistic charm typical of being "Up North."
Why they chose this property
This new home is in the center of everything. With beautiful lake views, many amenities are all within a 5 minute drive. There is a nine hole golf course, Pearl's New Orleans's Kitchen - a four star restaurant, and the Riverwalk Grill and Tap Room is situated on the water for dinning and a gorgeous sunset view. Also within a 5 minute drive is the Elk Rapids Beach and Ice Cream Peddlers. For the upscale seafood lovers, there is Siren Hall in down town Elk Rapids. And for those that just want to kick back and have a pizza, there is Chef Charles or the Elk Rapids General store..
What makes this property unique
Elk River Marina, also in downtown Elk Rapids, rents pontoon boats, ski boats and fishing boats by the day or week. Traverse City is 20 minute drive. Here you will find Turtle Creek Casino, in addition to many other dinning and shopping options.
