4 bd / 3 ba light front home
Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Spacious Studio | Boutique Resort, Sauna, Hot Tubs
This place is a gem. The free bikes were clutch to ride around town and check out the distillery and breweries. Shorts has such good food! Do not sleep on the pretzels! The room, shared outdoor area and jacuzzi were lovely. The water flow sounds and the wildlife were amazing, lots of sweet deer to fawn over. I would definitely return!

Boona Vista | Lake Michigan Beach Front Cottage.
The place is adorable and peaceful. The decor is cottage cute! Being able to walk out the back door to Lake Michigan for a bonfire every night was amazing!!! Three chairs are set up by the big window with sweeping lake views to chill in the evenings. Just be aware the place is smallish and no dishwasher so I would keep it below 6 people, but it worked out great for the two of us on our anniversary. It was romantic and a super pick!!! You will not be disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised!!! :)

BOOK August 24 - 31, Elk Rapids, Mi Lakehouse
You will instantly fall in love with the quiet lakefront beauty and the breath-taking and welcoming home just 60 or so feet from the water. The main floor of the house is close to lake level making the drama of nature around you compelling and inspiring. The waterfront and waves lapping the stone and sand shore are visible from almost all the rooms of the house, and it's a short walk to River Street in Elk Rapids. Traverse Magazine readers voted River Street "in the top 10 of ‘Sweet Small-Town Main Streets in Northern Michigan.'” The pace of life is calming in this lovely town and in this beautiful home. Owner Bernadette and property manager Sam make you feel perfectly at home. Response time to messages is instant, polite, and friendly. There's so much enjoyment to be had for all ages here.

Modern Elk Rapids Home
I’ve stayed at two of Steven’s properties in Elk Rapids and will always be using the one we just stayed at whenever possible! Our daughter loved being able to walk to the store, as well as to her cousins’ house :)

Cozy Hideaway! 10 min to Torch, 30 min to TC!
Donald and Karen’s tent was a perfect, cozy home base for our mid-November getaway. We had so much fun exploring the property and using the wood stove ( a definite highlight!). The space was charming, clean, and peaceful. Donald and Karen provided easy-to-follow instructions and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you so much! We would love to stay here again!

Perfect Up North GetAway
We participated in the Bayshore race and wanted to stay somewhat close to Traverse City. We really enjoyed the location. There were four adults and three kids, and it was very comfortable. Rachael was very communicative. We hope to stay again next year!

Home in the heart of Elk Rapids - walk to lake!
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend here. Beds were super comfortable and linens/ pillows and all bedding was really clean and nice. The house was extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our coffee was exceptional-the water perhaps?? I would (and hope to) stay again.
