Older house in need of updates. Drshes were dirty, chairs in kitchen really uncomfortable, stove doesnt open because refrigerator is in the way. Shower in back was leaking so bad from underneath that you need a towel or 2 to soak up water every time its used. Mildew and mold in the bathrooms.about a pack worth if cigarette butts on the ground outside the back door next to rodent trap. Driveway is a long way from house.beds were really uncomfortable we were working in the area and stayed there for 5 days during winter when rates are reasonable, but would not want to pay summer rates to stay there . Place is kind of a dump

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.

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.
