Ants in 2 of 3 cottages. Internet doesn’t reach 3rd cottage so no tv or internet there. Towel hook falls out of wall. 2 electric outlets are missing face plates. Oven in main cottage doesn’t work. Was supposed to be fixed, never was. Grass growing at front door entrances. Air conditioner filter filthy.

Our family had a fantastic time! There were 6 of us that stayed in the 3 cabins. The kitchen in the main cabin was stocked with everything we needed. There is a very nice outdoor grill, picnic tables that are gorgeous and a great firepit. The host even supplied wood (we didn't use it but it was a wonderful touch). The beds were super comfy and we were close to everything. The Ames Cafe across the street has a fantastic breakfast. They open at 9:00am everyday so get there early as they are packed. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Overall we had a great time at this property. Had a little bit of a rocky start when the cleaning crew had not came through. However, the property manager worked fast to solve the problem. We returned to a super clean home and the rest of the stay was phenomenal. The only complaint I have was their were quite a few bugs in the main home; ants on the counters and fruit flys in surrounding areas.

We had a wonderful time here, we were a group of 10 and it fit us perfectly. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone to hang out. The outdoor space is perfect.

Adorably decorated and incredibly convenient!

We were on a 2 week road trip to the UP and western shoreline of Michigan and this was our favorite place we stayed! Super cute, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Everything you need in a rental was included. The location was ideal too. We walked everywhere. It was nice staying in Elk Rapids and was a short drive to everything you want to do in Traverse City as well. Highly recommend staying here!
