Perfect for families!
We had a wonderful experience staying at elk lake estates over the holidays. Our family of 18 slept and played comfortably in the house. The kids had so much to do, between playing outside, in the game room or doing crafts on the tables. They often said “this is so awesome!” Owner decorated the house for the holidays and it was beautiful! Highly recommend to others for any season.

Wonderful lake house vacation!
This house was just perfect for our BIG family vacation & it had plenty of space with activities for all the boys (ages 3 to 14). The water was so beautiful & the kayaks were great fun. The house was very clean. We would totally come back ... thank you for sharing this lake house with us!

Beautiful view
Chose this property for the many bedrooms and comfy lounging spaces. Worked well for a large group. The lake was beautiful, and would like to come in summer to enjoy it. Bring your own soap, this hotel dweller was not prepared. Store was close by.

We had such a great time!
Even with bad weather in early Spring, we had such a great time with beautiful Elk Lake as our backdrop for a gals weekend in. We hired a private chef to cook dinner for our large group on Saturday night and the house even came equipped with enough plates, cups, silverware and seats for the dinner to be a success. The bedrooms were spacious and the house was clean. We will definitely be back to enjoy this house and all the lake has to offer!

Fantastic Winter Family Get Away!
Absolutely wonderful!! Our group of 17 (ranging in ages from 4 to 94!) fit perfectly in this beautiful home. The owners were super responsive and exceeded our expectations at every turn. We had plenty of room for everyone to have their own "space", but could also gather our entire family for meals, games, etc. without ever feeling cramped. Even though it was winter and we weren't able to enjoy the lake, we had plenty to do and will definitely look to book here again in the future.

Amazing Bachelorette Weekend
Jennifer is an amazing host! Our group of 20 women were able to enjoy the house comfortably. Enough beds, showers, space, everything we needed (and more). The back yard is gorgeous and you can’t beat the views. There was even firewood stacked and ready for us to have a fire. We were able to get a wine tour bus to pick us up right at the house and only 30 minutes from the Old Mission Wineries. A perfect house for a large family/friend outing. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Perfect for us!
Our family (10 w/4 kids under 4) really enjoyed our stay at Elk Lake Estate. The house was perfect for our family and exceeded our expectations. The outdoor playset and the sand volleyball court provided hours of fun for the kids while the adults had a great view of the lake. I originally thought we would use more of the amenities (e.g. pool table and game room), but the weather was great and the kids enjoyed their toys outside. The host went out of her way to check that we had everything we needed and was immediately available for any questions. We certainly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Friends and Family Getaway
Perfect lake house for our large group of friends and family with kids ranging from ages 2 to 16. House was stocked with everything one could need or ask for. Close to downtown Elk Rapids or short drive (20 minutes) to Traverse City. House was very spacious and never felt cramped with 22 of us all staying there. Was quiet on the lake and felt secluded at the house. Elk Rapids was 25 minutes via boat and Torch Lake was about an hour boat ride. Jennifer was an amazing host and very easy to work with from booking to check-in to check-out.

Great Location Fall of 2023
This home is a lot larger in person, then when you see the online pictures. The layout of the home is great!! Plenty of room everywhere, and the seating is perfect for 14 guests. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and responds right away. We were originally going to plan one night of our three nights to go out to dinner, but we ended up enjoying the house so much that we just cooked in all 3 nights. Our trip was October 2023, weather was a little chilly and light rain, but we still managed in one night of a great Bon fire. This home would be a great summer rental too!! We would definitely consider this house again for future vacations.

Amazing property on Elk Lake
Our family was blessed with an awesome vacation full of lasting memories. The hosts have provided everything you could possibly need for a very positive experience, including a volleyball court, a play set, game room, kayaks, fire pit (with wood!) and so much more. We had a large group, complete with lively grandchildren, but the property and home is so spacious that there was plenty of room for everyone. Our plans to go out and eat never materialized because we loved the outdoor eating areas overlooking Elk Lake and the house is well equipped with all of your cooking needs. Thanks so much to the very kind hosts for sharing their property and allowing families to enjoy their piece of Michigan heaven.

Wonderful Elk Lake
We spent a week at Elk Lake in this wonderful house. Within 24 hours we knew we wanted it again next year. There were twenty of us from 7 months to 66 years. So much space and areas to play or read or gather together. Everything we needed was there. The house has 2 very well supplied kitchens and so many seating areas inside and out. The lake area had crystal. Lear water fir swimming, kayaking or just replacing on the dock. Close to many outdoor beaches and wineries and hiking or many other activities. The hostess, Jennifer, communicated with us perfectly. This is the best property we have stayed on and can’t wait to go back again.

This house is perfect for our group of 12. Easy to cook, hang out and enough rooms and beds for all of us. Being right on elk lake with kayak's available was awesome! Minutes from downtown Elk Rapids and short drive to golf courses, casino and downtown TC. Host is super responsive if needed.
