Why the Owner Chose Elk Rapids
Elk Rapids is located close to my hometown of Traverse City and is all that TC used to be as i was growing up. It is "Pure Michigan."
The Unique Benefits of this House
Unlike many vacation spots where your car continues to play a big role, our little village encourages you to park the car and walk wherever you wish to go. It's only a short stroll to downtown restaurants or the beach or marina or a quiet spot by the river. Jump on a bike and in less than five minutes you're at the market.

We had a great time in Elk Rapids and at this house. It was a perfect size for two people. We used the spare bedroom for storage of luggage etc. Master bedroom was huge w/living area and big TV. Window A.C. in master only, but that was plenty. Our dogs loved fenced backyard and patio w/trees and deck was so nice that we had breakfast out there everyday. The two bicycles enabled us to bike to downtown whenever we wanted. Elk Rapids is a lovely little town. The landlord was super nice. The only down side is Traverse City is a 20 minute drive and if you need anything beyond the basics you have to go there. Otherwise great.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
