Docking your own boat at our property can be challenging due to shallow waters and surrounding logs. Feel free to reach out to the owner for additional information or any questions about water access.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Flintfields Horse Park and 25 minutes from downtown Traverse City, this cottage is also a short bike ride to charming downtown Elk Rapids. Explore local breweries, wineries, and a variety of water activities—all nearby!
