Amazing Stay

The place was clean and spacious which was greatly appreciated. The overall location was pretty secluded in the way you were able to star gaze. Cooking materials were included which eased our stay. Overall, amazing if what youre looking for is to have fun and relax.

Our family loved this property! The top floor is very rustic, the main floor pretty traditional and the basement apartment was the most modern so there was something for everyone. The location was ideal being just a few minutes from both Elk and Torch Lakes. We also made day trips to Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan. The host was very responsive and helpful!

I want to thank Shaiska for our stay at the Equestrian Charm Vrbo home. My family and I had a fabulous time. The property and the house offered everything that we were looking for - privacy, roomy, beautiful surroundings, cleanliness and all the comforts of home.Shaiska supplied us with everything that we needed from air-fryer to places of interests, and the corn hole game. We were all delighted with the house and the grandkids LOVED the hammock! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone who is looking for that special piece of paradise. We can't thank you enough for making our vacation a time to remember.

Such a great place to stay! This is the ideal place for people who want a quiet and peaceful house to retreat to in Northern Michigan.Key benefits of this rental:• Clean and bug free, even in the lower level (with the exception of the unavoidable gnats).• Polite and responsive host.• Very spacious yard.• Dog friendly!! We brought our dog and she loved it!• Plenty of room for several cars.• Great location for those who want to be reasonably close to the lakes and the towns.• Neighbors have horses that you can see from the house if you appreciate seeing animals (we did).• Perfect for those traveling who want a bit more privacy from their travel companions. The basement has a couch, TV, kitchen, table, full bathroom, and large bedroom.I would recommend this rental and I would absolutely stay here again!

Vacation in Rapid City (near Elk Rapids)

Our family had a great vacation! The house was well designed to accommodate our group, 4 adults and 2 children. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Our boys had a great time playing sports and games on the expansive property! The hammock and fire pits were an added bonus. The location is 15 minutes from downtown Elk Rapids and the wonderful Elk Rapids sandbar which our whole family really enjoyed! Of all the VRBO properties that we have stayed in over the years, Shaiska is the kindest and most responsive host we’ve encountered. It was a pleasure to stay and we hope to return in the future!

Loved our stay!

Thank you Shaiska for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home! I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet place that feels like you are in the middle of the woods, but is less than a 15-minute drive to launch your boat on Torch Lake. The house exceeded our expectations, with a separate space upstairs for the kids and a main floor bedroom for the parents. The newly built front deck added an extra living space where we enjoyed meals and gathered often. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was fully stocked with pots, pans, linens, utensils and extra bedding. You could tell special care was taken in decorating the property, the house was very clean, and everyone felt safe. Thank you again and we look forward to returning.
