An amazing time! Home was spacious and inviting. Location was amazing, every evening we walked to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. Would recommened to anyone who wants to spend time in Elk Rapids.
Stayed for an annual girls trip to Traverse City/Torch lake and it was a good location for both! We enjoyed our stay, very walkable neighborhood close to some restaurants. Monica was helpful and our stay was great! We will try to return next year as well!
We invited friends from out of town to stay at this property during our wedding weekend in Elk Rapids and all had a phenomenal time! There were enough places to sleep for all of us, and the quality of the space made everyone feel they were staying somewhere special. The Toomeys maintain their home very well and there was a delightful amount of space to sit on the porch or inside and catch up with loved ones. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity!
My family and I loved our stay in this beautiful home! There was plenty of space for all of us (5 adults) with room to spare. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining room had a large table that could easily accommodate everyone for a sit down dinner. All of the rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful details. We loved sitting on the front porch reading and watching the world go by. The public beach and the shops and restaurants of River Street were just a couple of blocks away, and we walked there several times a day. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it again next summer.
This is our second year renting this lovely home. It is in the perfect location, just a couple of blocks from the public beach and River Street. The home is so cheerful and comfortable, with plenty of amenities. We hope to come back again next year!
Loved the house and the location. The owner was very accommodating.
Had a great family reunion week!!!

The house was perfect for our family to stay for a wedding weekend in Elk Rapids.
Our family loved the house and accommodations were perfect for a family wedding in Elk Rapids. Owner was very thoughtful in providing information and convenience items.
What a lovely house. Spotless and comfortable!!! Easy walk into town.
The kitchen was well stocked and a pleasure to cook in. The owner Monica was so helpful with any questions. We will definitely stay there again!
This is a beautiful home with a lovely, attentive property manager. We had plenty of room to stretch out for our group of 10. There are multiple sitting areas, bedrooms, and bathrooms. We loved our stay and hope to return!
Monica was excellent to work with! Beautiful, relaxing home just a short walk from the lake. Kids loved the house and yard! Hope to return!

Worked perfectly for our family wedding in the area.
Convenient, very clean, spacious and perfect for a group of people. Quite neighborhood and walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids Main Street attractions. Will do it again for next family gathering.
We had a wonderful experience at this property. Monica was great to work with and would get back to us quickly. Great location to town and beach. Highly recommend!
We had an awesome time. The property was beautiful and all my friends loved the place. It allows for a lot of people to stay and is located in a nice neighborhood
Had a great experience at this property! Had eight girls stay at this house: aged 21-32 years of age for a weekend getaway. Would go again!
Thank you !
