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!

The house is perfect. We had an amazing time. The views of the lake are beautiful and there are multiple places to see it. We are a group of 10 and there was plenty of space for all of us. The house was well equipped for everything (kitchen, outdoors, indoor games, lake and plenty of towels). The location was near Elk Rapids and there was a grocery store right down the street. Our host was so kind and always responded right away with any questions we had. Highly recommend this beautiful home on the lake!!

We had such a great time! We are a group of 11 high school friends who have remained friends for over 50 years! Yes we are old! We rented a pontoon boat with plans to explore Torch Lake one day and Elk Lake another day, however the weather was unusually cold with rain off and on so we cancelled. There was so much to do in the surrounding area. We spent time in Elk Rapids, Bellaire and Alden exploring, shopping and enjoying the lake views. We spent 1/2 a day at Traverse City Resort and Spa treating ourselves to spa appointments. Day Trip to Charlevoix! What a fun town. Great lunch and drinks at Weathervane Restaurant, Gem Car Mushroom House Tour of whimsical one of a kind hobbit style houses, beautiful lake and marina views and shopping on Bridge Street. Our host Jennifer was great. Super attentive with lots of great suggestions. The VRBO was well appointed, comfortable with lots of seating areas and with great views. Well stocked kitchen, beach towels for our use, fire pit, marshmallow skewers - you name it. We all had a great time and are already planning our next trip when we can get some boating in on the lakes! Thank you Jennifer! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

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!

Big enough for ALL Z of us It’s almost impossible to find a quality place that can easily handle 11 people, but this home does that and more…much more. Not only did everyone get their own bedroom and bathroom, there was enough space for everyone to get together for meals and find their own private space when they wanted some “me” time. We hope to go back even if it is pricey. Just an example of getting what you pay for. My kids equated it to Disney World. You pay more, but you leave with a lot of priceless memories.
