The location is one of the main reasons we stay here. Walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids and the beach. Originally we booked this because it is pet friendly. The only thing we were disappointed in is the lawn was thick as a hay field. No big deal since we didn't have to cut it. Price and location are the main reasons we continue to come back. ##### Susan G.

Their cozy and well kept place was a fabulous base of operations for our trip to join local friends for celebrating St. Pat's Day. Four of us from out of town and our friends from Kewadin enjoyed a couple of meals together and time just hanging out in the comfortable living room. We took a couple of walks into town, and a couple of drives into Traverse City. A fabulous time was had! ##### Gary & Joann S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth C. 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, location #### Mixed feelings We take a girls trip every year and always at a different location. We chose this place for the location and within walking distance of so much. Although we had a great stay and There is a lot of charm to this house, there are several issues that need tending to. For starts we could barely open the from screen door as it scrapes along the walkway and the screen is broken and metal pieces sticking out. Open the front door and it’s very musty smelling. Played a big part in all of our allergies. There is mold on the ceilings in the bathroom. Huge lack of towels. There were 6 bath towels, 3 hand towels and 1 kitchen towel. 1 bath towel per person is not enough especially if you say this accommodates up to 10 people. We had to bring our own washcloths. There are excess bees all over, one of our ladies was stung twice in the middle of the night. Glad she Carrie’s her epi pen as she is allergic. We killed a total of 7 bees inside the house. The AC units were a plus and kept the house quite cool. We tried to use the TV but simply couldn’t figure it out, we just wanted to watch the lions but couldn’t even get local channels. There is not instruction manual at all of the house. We just tried to figure out things along the way. There is a grill but we could not use it as it was so dirty. There are also 2 back doors leading to the backyard but we could not use them as they were so overgrown with trees and weeds. Not much curb appeal. Lastly, the bedding was nice but the beds were Hard. ##### Elizabeth C.

We were there during spring break to get some things done. The location is perfect..walking distance to town! House was clean and had so much character! ##### Raegen J. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela D. 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was very cute, listing was accurate. Location was excellent, easy walk to the beach and downtown shopping. Kids loved the beach playground. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only hiccups were that we didn't get an automatic message with the check in information. However, the host replied very quickly to my question of how to check in, so it didn't really effect our stay. There were also a lot of little fly bugs on the ceiling corners in the kitchen when I checked in. I was able to vacuum them up in a few minutes and they stayed gone the rest of our stay, so likely someone before us just opened the window without a screen. Otherwise it was very clean (no issues with beds, bathroom or counters). There was also a nice peek a boo view of the bay from the kitchen, living room and upstairs bedroom! ##### Angela D.

Easy walk to the beach, and easy drive to traverse city and our day trip to sleeping bear dunes. The town of elk rapids, also walking distance, was wonderful as well. We'd be glad to stay and visit again. ##### Kevin G.
