Awesome House
This house is perfect for our group of 12. Easy to cook, hang out and enough rooms and beds for all of us. Being right on elk lake with kayak's available was awesome! Minutes from downtown Elk Rapids and short drive to golf courses, casino and downtown TC. Host is super responsive if needed.

Perfect family friendly property
Jennifer was kind enough to allow us to have our wedding at the elk lake estate, in the back yard under the already installed arch. We invited our closest friends and family and spent a long weekend together in the house. Everything went perfect and the house was fully equipped to handle us. The host was amazing in all aspects and we have zero complaints. Our friends and family were left in awe at the lake views and amenities, none of them have ever been to northern michigan before and thanks to the beautiful elk lake estate they are all excited to plan another trip up!

Great home!
We had a wonderful time and the host was extremely fast with her responses if I needed anything or had any questions! The kids never were bored with the endless activities on property. Beautiful dock and clean lake water to swim in. We rented a pontoon and used her lift which was great! We were 27 people and the home slept in comfortably!

Perfect for families!
We had a wonderful experience staying at elk lake estates over the holidays. Our family of 18 slept and played comfortably in the house. The kids had so much to do, between playing outside, in the game room or doing crafts on the tables. They often said “this is so awesome!” Owner decorated the house for the holidays and it was beautiful! Highly recommend to others for any season.

Great Location Fall of 2023
This home is a lot larger in person, then when you see the online pictures. The layout of the home is great!! Plenty of room everywhere, and the seating is perfect for 14 guests. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and responds right away. We were originally going to plan one night of our three nights to go out to dinner, but we ended up enjoying the house so much that we just cooked in all 3 nights. Our trip was October 2023, weather was a little chilly and light rain, but we still managed in one night of a great Bon fire. This home would be a great summer rental too!! We would definitely consider this house again for future vacations.

Wonderful Elk Lake
We spent a week at Elk Lake in this wonderful house. Within 24 hours we knew we wanted it again next year. There were twenty of us from 7 months to 66 years. So much space and areas to play or read or gather together. Everything we needed was there. The house has 2 very well supplied kitchens and so many seating areas inside and out. The lake area had crystal. Lear water fir swimming, kayaking or just replacing on the dock. Close to many outdoor beaches and wineries and hiking or many other activities. The hostess, Jennifer, communicated with us perfectly. This is the best property we have stayed on and can’t wait to go back again.

Amazing property on Elk Lake
Our family was blessed with an awesome vacation full of lasting memories. The hosts have provided everything you could possibly need for a very positive experience, including a volleyball court, a play set, game room, kayaks, fire pit (with wood!) and so much more. We had a large group, complete with lively grandchildren, but the property and home is so spacious that there was plenty of room for everyone. Our plans to go out and eat never materialized because we loved the outdoor eating areas overlooking Elk Lake and the house is well equipped with all of your cooking needs. Thanks so much to the very kind hosts for sharing their property and allowing families to enjoy their piece of Michigan heaven.

Friends and Family Getaway
Perfect lake house for our large group of friends and family with kids ranging from ages 2 to 16. House was stocked with everything one could need or ask for. Close to downtown Elk Rapids or short drive (20 minutes) to Traverse City. House was very spacious and never felt cramped with 22 of us all staying there. Was quiet on the lake and felt secluded at the house. Elk Rapids was 25 minutes via boat and Torch Lake was about an hour boat ride. Jennifer was an amazing host and very easy to work with from booking to check-in to check-out.

Perfect for us!
Our family (10 w/4 kids under 4) really enjoyed our stay at Elk Lake Estate. The house was perfect for our family and exceeded our expectations. The outdoor playset and the sand volleyball court provided hours of fun for the kids while the adults had a great view of the lake. I originally thought we would use more of the amenities (e.g. pool table and game room), but the weather was great and the kids enjoyed their toys outside. The host went out of her way to check that we had everything we needed and was immediately available for any questions. We certainly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Same Group, New Lake & Home...Memory Making Keeps getting Better!
Our Group is a blend of 3 core families who have been vacationing on Torch Lake together for 12 years. Due to circumstances out of our control, we had to find a new location for our group of 19. Since everyone likes to be able to share the same space, this was no easy task. Elk Lake Estate was a Homerun! Jennifer was very responsive to our many questions and made us feel like this transition was going to be smooth from day one. The only complaint we have is that we had to stay later in the Summer than we like, but that is because she honors her previous renters and gives them the opportunity to rebook before opening up to new, which is a very kind and fair process. Most choose to say yes again and again to this Amazing location and Home. So many positives! Parking spaces for all our cars, lift for the boat, beautiful long dock, SO MANY GAMES! Many laughs and great competion from the Sand VB court, also badminton, Basketball (in AND out)...pool table, corn hole and many more. It was great bc when we got hot, we just jumped in the Lake. But the thing I kept hearing our group revel over was the quantity of sitting areas. All of us could eat TOGETHER in a total of 4 different spots! There was inside dining on both the upper and lower levels, outside on the upper deck high tables, or lower level picnic tables. And there was enough matching plates/bowls, etc to make mealtime so much fun! Its always been a highlight for us. We utilized both the upper and lower kitchens and found this so helpful for our large meals. Outside of meal seating, there were also Multiple areas where small and large groups could sit together on both levels and at various spots around the estate. There were so many chaises, adirondacks, couches, etc...that made us feel so comfortable whether we were in or out. But the Highlight of the week was the crystal clear, refreshing water with the beautiful soft sandy bottom! (spoiled from 12 years on Torch, Elk Lake was new to us) Lets just say she exceeded All our expectations. The grocery just a mile away was so convenient for any forgotten items. Also the 3 refridgerators made storing our food, ice, drinks super easy. A few needed to work from home for part of our time and the Wifi made that a smooth process as well. As the week came to a close, we sat around the firepit reminiscing all the great times that were had in our new location and feeling thankful for all of our blessings. Elk Lake Estare is a rare gem! 💙
