About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 24 years and have 3 sons. Our boys are 18, 15 and 12 years old. We are a very active family and like to travel. My boys paricipate in several sports and enjoy outdoor activities.

Why they chose this property

We chose this place because it has so much to offer. When you can walk or bike to everything you need it can feel like more of a vacation. You can choose to take day trips to so many beautiful places or just lay on the beach and relax. My husband and I and our 3 sons took a day trip to Elk Rapids from Traverse City 4 years ago and fell in love with this quaint town right on Grand Traverse Bay. We had no idea that this beautiful town even existed. . We were lucky enough to fine an open lot and bought it a month later. Now that our Cottage is built we feel privledged to be part of the Elk Rapids community. We would like other families to have the opportunity to experience this wonderful place.

What makes this property unique

We chose a Beach theme for our Cottage because going to the beach is our favorite thing to do . The most unique benefit of all is the location, you can go and do so many different things by walking or biking. The Village has many things to offer for all ages. You can play Tennis, Basketball or Volleyball on the Beach. There is also a large Play Area for small children by the Beach with many sandtoys to use for the Day.
