It is located half way between Traverse City and Torch Lake. My husband and I enjoyed this property and the owner was such a great host. They respected our privacy yet we enjoyed visiting with them, as well. It was very clean and cozy. The town of Elk Rapids is a very short distance away with plenty of places to eat and shop. We walked to the beautiful lake views every night. Then returned to the property to the view of Bass Lake from the living room. Very safe and friendly town. I highly recommend this property. ##### Kristi P.

However it is a shared property with the homeowner so the semi private is due to owner not because of neighbors and the ac controls are there but could not be adjusted below 72°. ##### Tyler N.

It was a situated in a beautiful spot with a view of Bass Lake and a short distance from the golf course, grocery store, and downtown. The house was very clean, with nice beds, a versatile kitchen, and bathroom with both tub & shower. We appreciated the coffee maker, which had dual function, one side a K-cup machine and the other side a brew pot. The water in the shower stayed hot even after three people in a row showered. All the little details were taken care of, with comfy chairs to relax in, touch lamps in the bedroom, a stocked K-cup rack and teas, and even a low glow light by the stairs to the bathroom. We would most definitely stay here again. ##### James D.

Elk Rapids was the perfect location because it was not too far from Traverse City, Petoskey, and Central Lake. Which is places we visited during out stay. I wish we had one more day to fully enjoy all that Elk Rapids has to offer. Definitely will consider staying at this property again as Carly was very attentive in communication and also respected out privacy. ##### Kari T.
