We rented the "red cottage" from August 20th through September 10th 2011. The listing description does not do the cottage justice... It was more than wonderful! The property is spotless, and has just about anything you need for a vacation with or without your pet. The fenced backyard was great for our dog, and also great for barbecues and relaxing. The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen, and the sleeping arrangements are more than adequate. The owners are extremely nice, and keep the property kept up in tip top shape... I almost don't want to tell anyone else about how great it is in Elk Rapids .... just a quick walk to a beautiful beach, and a quaint little town with good restaurants and shops. We will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

"The Red House" (as my kids like to call it) is our favorite place to stay in Elk Rapids. We have been there 5 times and will continue coming back for more wonderful family memories! We absolutely love everything about Elk Rapids and this cottage has an outstanding location relative to the beach and downtown. We feel very at home when we stay there.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Darling cottage! Beautifully decorated and so spotless! We had so much fun in Elk Rapids. Never even needed our car to get to shopping, restaurants and beach. The kids had great time in town too. Very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Perfect location. We cant wait until next year!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2
