A Home Filled with Memories
We first discovered Elk Rapids in 2016 while our children were competing at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. After renting homes here for several summers, we fell in love with this little town and knew we wanted to become part of the community.
When we found this beautiful Victorian on Pine Street, it felt like home from the moment we stepped onto the porch.

Today, it's our joy to share this special place with families and friends from all over the country. We've hosted reunions, birthdays, baby showers, girls' weekends, horse show families, anniversary celebrations, and vacations spanning three generations.

We hope The Victorian on Pine becomes a place where your family creates traditions, reconnects, laughs a little louder, stays up a little later, and leaves with memories that last long after vacation ends.

We can't wait to welcome you.
Monica & Chris

About the host

Hosted by Monica Toomey

Host profile image
Hi! We're Monica and Chris.

We've been married since 1992 and have spent our life together embracing new adventures. Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, we met in Washington, D.C., and over the years have called Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and now Michigan home.

In 2016, two of our children began competing at the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, introducing us to Elk Rapids. Like many horse show families, we rented homes here for several summers and quickly fell in love with this charming lakeside town. Every visit made it a little harder to leave. Between the beautiful beaches, welcoming community, and relaxed pace of life, we knew we wanted a place of our own.

When this beautiful Victorian on Pine Street became available, it felt like the perfect fit. Today, we're grateful to share The Victorian on Pine with guests from near and far.

One of the greatest joys of hosting has been welcoming families, friends, and horse show competitors as they create lasting memories together. We believe the best vacations aren't measured by the places you visit, but by the moments you share—whether it's coffee on the wraparound porch, a day at the beach, s'mores around the fire pit, or an evening stroll through downtown.

If The Victorian on Pine becomes a small part of your family's story, that is exactly why we opened our home.

We hope you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Warmly,
Monica & Chris

We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the best of Elk Rapids. The Victorian on Pine is just two blocks from both Grand Traverse Bay and downtown, making it easy to park the car and enjoy everything on foot. We love starting the day with a walk to the beach, spending the afternoon exploring local shops and restaurants, and ending the evening around the fire pit or relaxing on the wraparound porch. It perfectly captures the slower pace and small-town charm that made us fall in love with Elk Rapids in the first place.

What makes this property unique

We think what makes The Victorian on Pine so special is the combination of historic charm and an unbeatable location. Just two blocks from both Grand Traverse Bay and downtown Elk Rapids, you can park the car and enjoy your vacation on foot. Walk to the beach, grab ice cream, browse the local shops, enjoy dinner downtown, or catch a movie—everything is just minutes away.
After a day of exploring, come home to a beautifully restored Victorian with a spacious, well-stocked kitchen, a huge third-floor loft, comfortable gathering spaces, games for all ages, and our favorite feature—the wraparound porch. It's the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, unwind after a day at the beach, share a bottle of wine with friends, or simply enjoy an evening of conversation around the fire pit.
Whether you're bringing the whole family, celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a girls' getaway, attending the horse show, or escaping for a relaxing weekend, The Victorian on Pine is a place where it's easy to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories together.
