Home rentals in Elk Rapids

Serene and Clean! Near beaches and wineries!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home! The home was very spacious for our group of 5. We did struggle to find Ubers and Lyfts and taxis seem to book up quickly so we would suggest planning rides in advance. Other than that we couldn’t have asked for a better space and location for our trip! Annemarie is a great host and kept us informed and up to date throughout our entire stay. Would definitely recommend!

Crystal Cottage
Lovely home and walking distance to everything!

Up North Retreat | Castle Farms-Lake Chx-Ski Boyne
This home was a perfect place for a women's mini retreat weekend. It was a very comfortable space for 6 ladies. A suggestion would be a little heater in the main floor master bath for colder months would be helpful. It is quite chilly in there. We hope to stay again sometime.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
Had an amazing long weekend. Great inland lake. The house was perfect for our family. The host was super responsive and had a ton of great recommendations.

Contemporary, TC area, Home away from Home
La verdad muy limpio cómodo y sobretodo muy seguro me encantó la casa sin duda regreso de nuevo lo recomiendo 100%

Hot Tub- ChateauTbone-Downtown-Indian River
Taylor was very accommodating. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a note that the some work had to be done on the property, the was almost completed, and she left us a giftcard for the nearby pizza place (definitely recommend the midwesterner there fyi) which is entirely unnecessary, though a very kind act. The work being done on the property did not Impact our stay one bit! The hot tub was lovely, especially on Sunday when we got to sit out there while it snowed around us. The fireplace was extremely cozy and one of our favorite features! We unfortunately missed ice fishing season, though found out from locals at Burt Lake where to buy some new fishing rods. Very friendly neighbors! Burt Lake took us only 7 min to walk to as well! Also walkable to a nearby brewery, grocery store at the corner though also could walk to for maybe 10 Min, liquor store probably 10 min walk as well. Wonderful location! Highly recommend!

Whole house downtown, with kid and adult bikes
Wonderful home. Clean, very comfortable, and good location.

Downtown home! Location, location!
Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!
Cabin rentals in Elk Rapids

Rustic Log Cabin known as the Snowshoe Cabin
The little cabin was exactly what I envisioned. Quiet and calm with lots of trees.

Beautiful cabin. Near Hodenpyl Dam.
We enjoyed our stay! The dogs loved the fenced in back yard and it was in a perfect location to go hiking.

Your Up North Rustic Retreat!
the place was immaculate despite the awful ice storm that has devastated the area. wonderfully kept and professionally clean. loved our time there enjoying pigeon river. The host Ronda is top notch. Couldn't be any better from short response times to detailed explanations on where things are located and check in was a breeze. The best hosts I've ever worked with. I plan on renting from her many more times in the future. If your looking for a place in the vabderbuilt area, she's the one your looking for. Thanks for the stay ~the Rubys

Woodsy and Private- Rustic Cabin
Quiet, clean, and cozy! A great weekend stay

The Lily Pad
This place checks all the boxes with an amazing host. Will be back annually. Craig, thanks again for a great stay

Open- Up North Cabin Across Big Glen Lake
This lovely cottage was perfect for our family of five (3 kids 12, 8 & 6). It had everything we needed and was right across the road from a cute park on Glen Lake. It was close to a lot of different parks including Sleeping Bear Dunes. Heidi kept in good communication to make sure we had everything we needed, including making sure we could get out of the driveway after a heavy snow. Hope to stay again next year!

Sommer's Retreat
Beth's cabin is the perfect spot to relax! She was amazing with accommodating last minute plans to spend Easter with my family, the cabin and property were clean and tidy, great communication and instructions were provided, easy to find but still private, and located centrally to many places and activities. There weren't any TVs in the cabin (which we thought was great), but there is wifi that worked flawlessly and could be used to stream on a tablet/laptop. Her cabin was stocked with all the household items you'd expect. Beds were comfortable, water heater and furnace work great. Beautiful and peaceful place to get away!

Cozy, rustic One room cabin.
This rustic little cabin was adorable and exactly what we were looking for! It was prefect for our week up north with our pups and the setting was beautiful. The cabin is secluded from the main residence, but close enough if needed. There are walking trails on the property (which the dogs loved!) and a fire pit overlooking a pond with a beautiful barn in the background. We were happy to find that the cabin amenities were as listed. Linens, towels, dishes, silverware, coffee maker, microwave, etc are conveniently provided. The mini fridge is perfect to stash leftovers and drinks - but just a note, there isn't a freezer compartment. There is a grill on the covered porch and even grates for cooking over the fire pit! We enjoyed the electric fireplace, which not only provided cozy nights, but gave that extra ambiance to the cabin. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Barb & Andy for a great stay and for sharing your cabin with us. We truly felt comfortable and at home.
Cottage rentals in Elk Rapids

Private Lakefront Cottage - Crystal Lake
The cottage was cute and spotless. The beds were comfortable, including nice sheets and it had everything that we needed. We stayed during the winter so didn’t get to utilize the lake but it’s close to the house and looks like it would be awesome during the summer. It’s only a 17 min drive to Crystal Mtn.

Magical Northern Michigan Cottage with Hot Tub
This farmhouse was beautifully redone inside! Our kids loved the rock wall and swing, the loft for reading and basement area. The house was clean, the backyard was nicely fenced and the kitchen had almost any dishes you would need. The property itself has beautiful walking trails, dog park, nature-scape playground and ponds to explore- perfect for our kids to get out their energy without having to go drive around to find a park!

cottage between two lakes
Lisa's place is beautiful with a great private location. We loved seeing the wildlife in the yard. The place was so clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Lisa responds promptly if u have any questions. I would highly recommend this place.

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
Really enjoyed our stay! The house was exactly as pictured and even cozier than we hoped for. The sunken living room was a wonderful place for my family of four to lounge and spend quality time together. Had the opportunity to use the hot tub and stomp around in the snow on the property. Anna was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations and directions. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming Lakefront Guest Cottage
I’d give Julie’s place tens stars ⭐️ perfect place for two! Breath taking views of the lake, quiet. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the Petoskey area. Julie was a great host! Thank you!

The Morel Cottage
It was a very pleasant stay, to rest, relax and disconnect.

Sleeping Bear Cottage #1
Carlie is one of the kindest hosts I've ever communicated with. Really went above and beyond to help us deal with a scheduling issue. The cabin itself is centrally located which makes driving to lots of sites and activities in the area easy. Everything was clean and well equipped.

Stone Cottage ~ Pool + Patio + Grill {Adults Only}
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our time! Great hosts!
