It provides multiple gathering spots both outside and in while ensuring ample privacy at the same time. Our Main House offers giant living spaces to accommodate the whole group and provides 4 very large bedrooms and 3 baths. On the same grounds, there are 5 smaller cottages that offer full kitchens/bathrooms/living spaces and house 1-2 bedrooms each. If you would like to rent the Main House as well as 1+ cottages, please see our VRBO links to the other cottages or message me to check on availability. Host your retreat, wedding party, or reunion here for an unforgettable experience! We allow large group bookings only (Main House + at least 2 cottages) until late Fall of each year at which point we'll open up the calendar for anyone to reserve the house and cottages separately and allow for instant booking. Please message us for details, and we will respond within 24 hours. Much work has been done to this compound since we bought it in Jan 2019\. Stay tuned to this as we will update pictures as changes are made as well as provide more updates we'll make over the coming years. \*2024 updates from a home maintenance standpoint: \-Entire property: new exterior paint, parking signs for all of the cottages, new ceiling fans \-Main House: gas grill added to charcoal grill option, new screened porch furniture and ceiling (no leaks!), kitchen backsplash, new balcony off primary bedroom \-Cottage 2: electrical overhaul to fix sporadic outages \-Cottage 3: expanded private enclosed yard \-Cottage 4: new basketball hoop \-Cottage 5: kitchen refresh with new countertops and kitchen sink \*\*Everyone must review the rental agreement which is comprehensive: lists the terms of the rental agreement, the dog waiver (if you are bringing a dog), provides suggested packing items, lists the hot tub rules (for Main House only). \*\*Please designate upon checking out if you are bringing a dog so you can have the pet fee added onto your final total. \*\*Note that Cottage 1 shares a wall with the far hallway corner of the Main House but as of 2022, we've added insulation and other measures to ensure noise transfer is drastically minimized. Cottage 1 and 2 used to have an interior door that locked but it was the source of noise transfer so in Spring of 2022, we closed up that door and added insulation in the units to minimize noise transfer. Cottages 4 and 5 share no walls as they stand alone on the property. All cottages have a pull out couch, and the Main House has 2 pull out couches, one in each king bedroom. Cottages 3 and 5 have small, private, fenced-in yards. \*\*From Memorial Day to Labor Day we require 3 night minimum stay, but a 7 night stay (Fri-Fri) is required in the heart of the summer, from June through beginning of August unless the week is already broken up. \*\*Well behaved dogs are welcome. Pets are required to be on leash outside of fenced yard, and you are required to pick up after them or fee will be assessed. \*\*Note our suggested packing items we provide right before your arrival. Starter paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags are provided but you'll have to bring your own after the starters. We don't do this because we're cheap or insensitive. We do this because we are not often in the area to run these kinds of things over, and we also like for guests to be respectful of the environment which we've noticed happens more often when guests bring their own disposable supplies. Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for visiting, we hope you choose Elephant Walk for your next group get-away! Email us with any questions, and we'll answer any questions within 24 hours.

The house was comfy, very clean and had all we needed for cooking. The garden was incredibly maintained. Big green area to play with our puppy, fire pit and beautiful trees surrounding. We had long walks around the property, including the beach nearby. Friendly warning, the beach was didn't allow pets. Good restaurant and groceries around the place. Communication with the hosts was very efficient. We will definitely go back! ##### Christopher D.

My only complaint is that there is a small gap under the fence where a small dog could fit through that was not patched like the rest. I did not let my dog off leash in the side yard. Again, not a problem but just a warning if you have small dogs, there is a possibility of them getting out into the yard next in a small area. Also, the walls are thin and could hear the conversations of cottage 2 pretty clearly. Not an issue, just want to post a warning. We loved our stay! ##### Elena C.

This place was just right! Clean, cozy and a yard big enough to throw the ball for our lab. We would stay here again. The Roadhouse next door had amazing food as well! ##### Todd S.

Our unit was private with a seating area outside (#3). It had everything we needed. Walking distance to the beach and the Whistle Stop. We have always loved that neighborhood and this is going to be our new preferred destination when we go to Union Pier. ##### Carol B.

Everything I needed in the cottage. Comfy and clean. Nice back yard. Easy walk to lakefront. Flexible and communicative host. Thanks! ##### Nancy H.

Bed and the couch were not very comfortable at all. They squeaked every time you moved. After three nights of attempting to sleep we just left because it was that uncomfortable. Which is a bummer because we lost out on all that money renting the place for a week. ##### Kim K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Shawn G. 16 Oct 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Just ok The hideaway bed mattress needs replacing, very poor condition. The firepit area...simply unkept. The neighbor directly behind the firepit area; his music was so loud that my sister and I walked over to ask him to turn it down. He said he was trying to drown out the noise...he was the only one making noise. Too much money for the experience. ##### Shawn G. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ---
