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!

Awesome House

This house is perfect for our group of 12. Easy to cook, hang out and enough rooms and beds for all of us. Being right on elk lake with kayak's available was awesome! Minutes from downtown Elk Rapids and short drive to golf courses, casino and downtown TC. Host is super responsive if needed.

Great home!

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!

Perfect for families!

We had a wonderful experience staying at elk lake estates over the holidays. Our family of 18 slept and played comfortably in the house. The kids had so much to do, between playing outside, in the game room or doing crafts on the tables. They often said “this is so awesome!” Owner decorated the house for the holidays and it was beautiful! Highly recommend to others for any season.

Perfect family friendly property

Jennifer was kind enough to allow us to have our wedding at the elk lake estate, in the back yard under the already installed arch. We invited our closest friends and family and spent a long weekend together in the house. Everything went perfect and the house was fully equipped to handle us. The host was amazing in all aspects and we have zero complaints. Our friends and family were left in awe at the lake views and amenities, none of them have ever been to northern michigan before and thanks to the beautiful elk lake estate they are all excited to plan another trip up!

Great Location Fall of 2023

This home is a lot larger in person, then when you see the online pictures. The layout of the home is great!! Plenty of room everywhere, and the seating is perfect for 14 guests. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and responds right away. We were originally going to plan one night of our three nights to go out to dinner, but we ended up enjoying the house so much that we just cooked in all 3 nights. Our trip was October 2023, weather was a little chilly and light rain, but we still managed in one night of a great Bon fire. This home would be a great summer rental too!! We would definitely consider this house again for future vacations.

Wonderful Elk Lake

We spent a week at Elk Lake in this wonderful house. Within 24 hours we knew we wanted it again next year. There were twenty of us from 7 months to 66 years. So much space and areas to play or read or gather together. Everything we needed was there. The house has 2 very well supplied kitchens and so many seating areas inside and out. The lake area had crystal. Lear water fir swimming, kayaking or just replacing on the dock. Close to many outdoor beaches and wineries and hiking or many other activities. The hostess, Jennifer, communicated with us perfectly. This is the best property we have stayed on and can’t wait to go back again.
