Outstanding view of Elk Lake. What a charming home,if I lived closer I would be there every weekend. I also enjoyed how close it is to Traverse City. My children spent hours on the sandy beach with no worry with the shallow depth of water. Everything was as expected and more. Thank you for a dream vaction.

Thank you for a delightful week! The house was just right for all of us; enough room to eat dinner together, but enough other space to be alone or play a game with a few of us. Elk Lake suited us so well, sandy beach and shore, great sailing, wonderful swimming. The tennis courts down the street were a big hit, too. The shopping was just right. Elk Rapids was close and quaint. Charlevoix and Traverse City were a little farther, but so interesting. Thank you so much for a delightful time. -Ginny Bateman, Oswego, IL

The entire family looked forward to our vacation on Elk Lake and we were not let down. The house easily accommodated our extended family and the backyard was a joy to play in. The grandkids enjoyed it as well. Our large pontoon boat was easily launched at the marina in town. -Cal and Pam Mott, Oxford, MI

We enjoyed Sunrise/Sunset very much, would rent again. Nice sandy beach, large area for kids (and adults) to play. House could have been cleaner when we arrived, but large and we had plenty of room for 13 people. Diane -Diane , Grawn, MI -231-276-0014 Homeowner Response: We're very glad Diane and her family enjoyed the home and would come back again. As for the cleaning, we have not had any previous issues. This was the last rental of the season after a full summer so it's possible that it could have been cleaner. We will work to ensure that the home is as clean as possible.

homeowner-added comment: Over the last five years, we've had many families and groups returning multiple years to enjoy our little bit of paradise on Elk Lake. Our vacationers have particularly enjoyed the sand beach that is great for children since it slowly gets deeper with no drop-offs. The water is crystal clear, matching and some years exceeding the clarity of the also famous, Torch Lake. In a way, Elk Lake is slightly better than Torch since it warms up earlier in the season and stays that way later into the season. The size of our home is another positive for our vacationers since it accomodates large families and groups but also allows for individuals to get away for some private time on any of the three levels. The lakeside yard is very large with beautiful shade trees by the water. These trees are situated so that there's also some great sun and tanning areas. There's a large open area between the lake and the house where some enjoyable baseball, volleyball, badminton and croquet games have taken place. Whether it's a family reunion, group golf retreat or just a time to get away from it all, "Sunrise-Sunset" on Elk Lake has been enjoyed by many. Give it a try! guest name: Many over the last 5 years guest city-state/province: MI, OH, IL, PA, NY, IN
