The Cottage is very clean with a lake view and lake access. Sitting on the deck while looking at the lake and listening to the wind rustling through the leaves was so serene and relaxing. The Cottage is within minutes of a short car drive to both Elk Rapids and Traverse City for sight seeing trips, shopping or dining out. Enjoyable place to stay. Thank you.

We felt at home as soon as we pulled in. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need while on vacation. We had great communication from the owners before checking in and throughout our stay. Great location close to shops & restaurants in downtown Elk Rapids.

Very clean cottage in a nice quiet area. Barb and Dennis are great hosts. We had plenty of room to park our boat and trailer. Elk Rapids is 3 miles away and has a nice beach which is near the main street with restaurants/shops and marina with food/drinks and a large lawn with corn hole and games for kids. We look forward to visiting again!

We loved the cottage. The bed was very comfortable- that's important to us! The layout was awesome. The views were amazing. Lots of fun around the area. Barbara brought us some fresh peaches and gave us ideas of things to see! They were great hosts!

Being from Northern Michigan I cannot say enough about this property. The lovely, very clean, renovated farmhouse tucked between orchards & Elk Lake had everything our family of 4 needed to enjoy the beauty & tranquility of the area. Coffee on the deck with a view of the lake, or a few steps to lounge with your toes in the water. Ten minutes to quaint downtown Elk Rapids, half hour to Traverse City, the location is fantastic!!! Fifteen minutes to DNR boat launch on Lake Skegemog. A great jumping off point to explore. Barb & Dennis were readily available, attentive and thoughtful! Snacks, coffee pods and fresh peaches (YUM), the little things:). Truly a peaceful peachy gem❤️

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at this perfect cottage! It was beautifully updated with plenty of space for us all! The private access to Elk Lake made it possible for us to put our kayaks in with ease whenever we wanted. This cottage was one of the cleanest places we have every stayed with comfortable beds and we were in want of nothing. Every need was met. Barbara was quick with any communication and provided a personal touch. We especially enjoyed the delicious cherries upon arrival! Thank you, Barbara, for one our most delightful stays in one of our favorite spots Up North!

The Grey Cottage was the perfect getaway for our family of 4. It was clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing lake vacation. The lake access is ideal for swimming, skipping rocks and enjoying a beautiful sunrise. The property is beautiful in every direction (water, woods, cherry orchards), and the location is ideal to explore the surrounding lakes and towns. We were lucky enough to be there during Harbor Days in Elk Rapids which was a fun surprise, especially for our daughters. Lastly, Barb was a wonderful hostess. She was warm, welcoming, and made some wonderful recommendations of things to do while we were in town. Thank you for a wonderful stay and, of course, the cherries! We’ll definitely be back.

Lake Living
This cottage was beautiful - inside and out. Located with the owner's cherry orchard just past the 'front yard' and a short walk to Elk Lake from the 'back yard'. The cottage is in an extremely quiet area but centrally located to get to interesting attractions and restaurants within 20-30 min (Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Kalkaska, and Charlevoix). Inside, the property has everything you need for supplies - of course, you need to fill up the fridge on your own! Yet, the owner even provides a basket of 'welcome' snacks.
The owner communicated with us in a very responsive manner; we even had a chance to meet with her on a couple of occasions to have nice conversations.
The house was perfect for my family of four, although the upstairs was a little short for my tall (5 foot 10 in and taller) kids. The one bathroom was fine, just required a little coordination with the family members.
Will definitely keep this property in mind for future trips to the area.

Cozy cottage
The cottage was perfect,…very relaxing and quiet, nestled between a lake view and fields of cherry trees. Elk Rapids only 5 minutes north and wine tasting, in the TC area, only 10 minutes to the south. My only con …..with 3 ladies in the cottage a second mirror would have been helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Great time at the lake
We had a really nice stay at the cottage and loved the access to the water. There are tons of great things to do in the area (especially for young children) and the cottage is in a great location. We would visit again!

The house is in a great spot near Elk Lake, a short drive to Elk Rapids and close to many orchards on the East side of Elk Lake. House was updated and clean. The room with the twin beds is not actually a bedroom, it is more of a converted attic and does not have a door. The main bedroom and bathroom both have sliding doors which do not lock, this was difficult to manage with our toddlers. The house overall is great, just not great for mobile infants/toddlers.

The house was clean and larger than expected. It looks small on the outside but in fact it was large and spacious on the inside. The house is in the middle of a cherry farm. It was wonderful to stay there during cherry season. The owner left us a bowl of fresh cherries in the refrigerator. It was a sweet touch! The lake is very close and only a short distance from the house. The water was lovely but I recommend bringing water shoes as it was quite rocky. Definitely not a deterrent! Would stay again!
