The view alone was absolutely breathtaking! We had five adults and seven kids (all age three and under), and everyone had plenty of space to sleep comfortably and spread out. The kids loved the outdoor play area and couldn’t get enough of the sand volleyball court. Having two kitchens was incredibly convenient, allowing each family their own space. We will definitely be back again!

Elk lake estate did not disappoint. It was the perfect location for my sister's bachelorette party. We used the yard for some games and the sauna was amazing after a chilly day on the boat. The kayaks were in great condition too. There were plenty of beds in the house for our large group. This would also be a very family friendly place- will definitely be coming back with my children!

The house is perfect. We had an amazing time. The views of the lake are beautiful and there are multiple places to see it. We are a group of 10 and there was plenty of space for all of us. The house was well equipped for everything (kitchen, outdoors, indoor games, lake and plenty of towels). The location was near Elk Rapids and there was a grocery store right down the street. Our host was so kind and always responded right away with any questions we had. Highly recommend this beautiful home on the lake!!

We had a wonderful time and the host was extremely fast with her responses if I needed anything or had any questions! The kids never were bored with the endless activities on property. Beautiful dock and clean lake water to swim in. We rented a pontoon and used her lift which was great! We were 27 people and the home slept in comfortably!

Joe, I was surprised by your review and low star rating. We were in daily communication about boating on elk Lake during your stay and you never mentioned any issues with the house or lake. Even though you only stayed 2 nights, I want everything to be perfect! We take cleanliness very seriously, our crew is amazing and I did a walk through before your arrival - as I do with every stay - and found that the house was spotless. Without specificity I will have trouble addressing what you may have been disappointed by. The happiness and satisfaction of our guests shows in previous 5 star reviews, even mentioning how clean the house is. I will share your review with the cleaning crew and we will brainstorm ways to improve what is already stellar. Jennifer

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image

This was our summer home while raising five children, now they are grown and busy. We want to share the lake and memory making possibilities with our guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

After visiting many lakes in Michigan, we found the best one for our family. Elk Lake is a perfect combination of clear Caribbean water, low boating traffic, and it's close to a charming town with great restaurants. Our favorites are Town Club, Pearls, and Riverwalk Grill. The food trucks and beers at Shorts Pullbarn are delicious. For pizza try Chef Charles.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views down Elk Lake, on a clear day you can see the south end of the lake which is about seven miles away! Those views are accessible from almost every room of the house. Elk Lake is connected to Torch Lake through Skegamog Lake and Torch River, spend an entire day boating the famous Chain of Lakes.
