Waterfront cottage in Elk Rapids on Bass Lake. Firepit, dog ok

The Dragonfly is located in Elk Rapids on Bass Lake and is a charming, cozy cottage that can accommodate up to 4 guests.

The cottage is situated in the quaint town of Elk Rapids, on the east side. A lovely location that is sure to please. East Grand Traverse Bay is just minutes away, and Shorts Brewery is nearby as well.

The living room, adjacent to the kitchen, features a smart TV with Direct TV. Off the kitchen on the lakeside is an enclosed porch area, perfect for morning coffee. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Both bedrooms have a queen bed. Sheets and towels are provided. Step out the porch door to a spacious deck with an ideal area to relax and grill. There is also a separate laundry room. One well-mannered dog is welcome.

Outside, you’ll find a large grassy lawn leading down to your own private spot on the lake. You can sit on the deck and watch the kids play in the water. A fire pit is located near the water, and plenty of outdoor furniture and a grill are available for outdoor fun. The location is within walking distance to the grocery store and a couple of restaurants. This peaceful neighborhood is perfect for getting away from it all. Elk Rapids is about 20 minutes from Traverse City, and Kewadin is 10 minutes away.
