Nice veiw with some cons

Great veiw and clean place. 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°.

Perfect for us for a long weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 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.

Nice getaway

My husband and I had a very relaxing getaway in Northern Michigan. 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.

Great location

This was a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a beautiful view on a quiet street for a relaxing vacation. 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.

Beautiful view

We rented this little cottage for nine days in the little town of Elk Rapids. We loved the location. We had a beautiful view of a flower garden and Elk Lake. The home was very clean. We had everything that we needed. Furniture and bed were very comfortable. Cute little restaurant and market walking distance. We loved our stay!

Lake Living

Nice little place attached to house. Quiet, clean, private. Carley is the perfect host. Bikes and kayaks are available for use. Lake is literally across the street so no real portage lake is calm and easy paddling. Close to Traverse City/Mission Point (30 minutes) and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (1 hour). Plenty of fresh veggies and fruit stands, wineries, breweries and cider houses in area. Nice long weekend getaway for couples or in our case family of three.

An Awesome Find!

Such a beautiful home in a gorgeous location. Sipping my morning coffee or evening wine overlooking their lovely garden with Bass Lake in front of you is perfection! Having bikes to use around town and kayaks/paddle boards to easily brig across the street to the lake made for a fantastic lake vacation. Carley and her sweet family were kind and available without feeling like they were hovering or you were invading their space. Will definitely look to book again for next summer!

Great location. Lovely little gated garden to view while sitting on the patio for coffee & late afternoon breezes. Perfect for 2 and minus a dishwasher its set up with everything you could need. Loved the Kurig too! The owner was thoughtful about privacy & it was a nice refreshing find after a long drive up. Great 80-85 degree weather and never needed air conditioning also available.
