About this property

Cherry-Pick the Ideal Getaway! Beautiful Home; Private Setting; @Beach Access

The Grand Traverse Region is one of the TOP PLACES TO VISIT! Originally known as the cherry capital of the world, it is now home to numerous vineyards, wineries, distilleries and breweries PLUS miles and miles of pristine shoreline, nationally recognized events--such as the National Cherry Festival, and the recent distinction of being the Most Beautiful Place in America (our Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore). This home, while boasting a serene and peaceful setting, is in the middle of all of this!

This property abuts the Whitewater Township Park, which has 150 acres of wooded trails, 2,000+ feet of shoreline along Elk Lake, and a public boat launch and swim area. Elk Lake is your entry point to the “Chain of Lakes”, a 55+mile watershed of 14 interconnected lakes and rivers, including the infamous Torch Lake Sandbar. Rent a boat for the week from one of the many local marinas.

Within a 5 minute drive, you’ll find the $90 Million Turtle Creek Casino with gaming and nightlife; world renowned golf at the Grand Traverse Resort; the quaint village of Elk Rapids-with its many eclectic shops and beautiful riverfront; and Pearl’s Restaurant, a local favorite for New Orleans cuisine—don’t forget to order the crawfish adorned Bloody Mary!


WELCOME :)
My concept is to provide you a home away from home. The idea is to pull up, drop your bags and begin your perfect vacation!
This home has a large open floor plan with vaulted cathedral ceilings and bamboo floors throughout. There are many multiple areas for gathering and relaxing.
The kitchen, open to the dining room, is fully equipped with everything you will need to entertain and enjoy a carefree vacation: dishes, utensils, cookware, glassware. The dining table can seat 6. The granite counter top bar area seats 4.
Relax with a cocktail in the formal living room. Enjoy the view from the bank of bright windows. Unwind and read a book, or watch the large screen television with surround sound.
There is a recently remodeled full bath on the main floor--conveniently located. It has a large tiled shower that is very accessible (a low edge). Towels and linens are provided.
There is a computer nook for those desiring a private work space. DO keep work to a minimum! ;)
The main floor bedroom is large and airy and has a king size bed and private bath. The shower and stool are isolated from the double vanity sink area....so sharing space while getting ready for an outing is a breeze. The room also has a very large walk in closet with iron & ironing board.
The 2nd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and a trundle bed. The room could comfortably sleep 4.
The 3rd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and overlooks the woods & lawn.
The 3rd bathroom, on the upper level, is located between the two bedrooms. It has a step in shower/tub, vanity and stool.
There are two decks outside. The front deck is great for sunning--it never has any shade. Bring your sun tan lotion! The side deck is large, located immediately off the kitchen French doors and is partially shaded by noon. It has an umbrella table and chairs as well as additional cushioned chairs. There is also a gas grill on the deck, the perfect place for a summer barbecue.
The property has ample space for parking. The driveway is large and asphalt paved. There is a fire pit area for roasting s'mores. Beach volleyball can be found at the township park right next door!

Every effort will be made to ensure you have an amazing and memorable vacation. Reserve your space today!

Relaxing Weekend
The home was clean and in a wonderful area. The setting is very relaxing for a fire, to sit out on the deck, and relax with friends or family! Close to Traverse Bay where we rented a boat for the day, and closer to Elk and Torch lake. I would certainly stay here again!

Family Vacation
This house was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of space for the little ones to play and the kitchen worked out well for us. Close to Elk Rapids, which is what we wanted.

Perfect Home for Family vacation
This house was all that was advertised and more. The close proximity to the water with the privacy and space for our family was perfect. Everything was very well communicated and there was no need for us to contact the property manager at any time. Information inside the house was clear and concise. It was perfect for two families with both adults and teens.

Excellent break for the family
This property was just what we hoped for and more. Secluded, peaceful, but actually not far from anything you would want. Very comfortable and well laid out for our extended family of 9 1/2. Beautiful boat launch down the road. Never crowded. We would definately come back. Thank you !!

About the host

Hosted by Sally Murray

Host profile image
I grew up in and around the Traverse City area. My parents made their exodus from the big city in the early 1970's...depositing their family in this quaint area known as northern lower Michigan. As a typical teenager, I planned my 'escape'...eager for the hustle and bustle of the urban landscape. But over time, I came to appreciate the area--and ultimately couldn't bear to leave it : ) My career provides me the opportunity to speak with people who are well traveled. There's nothing more satisfying than hearing these words from them: 'I've been around the world and can live anywhere I choose. I choose northern Michigan. I choose HERE!'

Why they chose this property

My family purchased this property in 2006. The property suited us beautifully! It was isolated enough to be quiet, yet close enough to enjoy all the area amenities. The beach is just down the road. All summer long, we were in constant pursuit of the water--whether it was biking down, loading up the boat for a jaunt out to the Torch Lake sandbar, or a quiet moonlight stroll down for an evening swim.

Now the children are grown. And while it might be tempting to sell this property and move on....I cannot. Instead, I am inviting you to share in it.

Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

Located immediately between Traverse City and Elk Rapids--it is the perfect location. It is a very private, wooded setting. The public boat launch/beach area/campground are at the end of the road (0.15 mile). Elk Lake is your entry point to the Chain of Lakes: Then to Lake Skegemog, to Torch River, to Torch Lake (fabled for its crystal clear turquoise waters and sandbar), to Clam River, to Clam Lake, to Grass River to Lake Bellaire. There are several towns and hamlets along the route. Eagles nest along the riverbanks. It is exceptionally beautiful.

The proximity to both Traverse City and Elk Rapids is especially appealing. There is always someplace new to visit, eat, hear, explore!

Come--See for yourself!!
