This is the perfect spot to have a Lake Michigan vacation, directly across from Old Mission Peninsula. The property is wooded with countless perennial gardens and a first-class sandy beach. This classy, comfortable, spotless home is situated in a beautiful spot on the east side (called East Bay) of Lake Michigan.

From this home, you can walk along the beach into Elk Rapids Village. You will see playground equipment with a path taking you to a beautiful sculpture through the wooded area where you can find and enjoy the village park.

This home is truly one of a kind--with a five star rating. The home was built in 2000 with the vision of building a lakefront cottage emphasizing the charm of a 1900's gathering place for the owner's family. This 3,600 sq. ft. home is a cozy, intimate, peaceful setting with a classic touch of beauty displayed in each room.

Three queen size beds, two double beds and bunk beds accommodates twelve people. The house welcomes you the minute you pull into the driveway, past its beautiful flower gardens, trimmed lawn and majestic trees. When you walk in the front door, you'll know you selected the perfect vacation home.

The home also has expansive views of East Bay and Lake Michigan. You'll enjoy the incredible sunsets! Looking toward Old Mission Peninsula the sunset dramatically displays blazing colors of orange, red and pink over the lake's horizon. In all of this glory the sunset disappears leaving a sky full of stars to be enjoyed.

Enjoy the patio surrounded by gardens, while barbecuing your favorite meal on the grill, as the children play in the sand and water. The sandy beach is magnificent! It's perfect for fishing, boating, tubing, skiing, or just sitting in that comfortable beach chair with your feet at the waters edge, reading your favorite book that you never have time for.

Traverse City is 15 minutes south of the house. Traverse City prides itself with theater productions, brew pubs, charter fishing, the Opera House, two movie theaters, children's museum, and the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. The National Cherry Festival is a big hit in downtown Traverse City. Other suggestions are: Sleeping Bear Dunes and Turtle Creek Casino.

In Elk Rapids we have Harbor Days Festival with fireworks during the first week of August. Downtown, you'll find shops, restaurants, beaches and the marina.
