If you’re looking for a beach house in a great location, this one is great for Elk Rapids. You can see the sunset from the porch, it’s a minute walk to the beach/ play sets for kids and a few minute walk into town. The owners were great when needed. The house is a historic home so even better if you like historic houses.

This is our second year staying at the Hughes house. The home accommodates our family of seven, five adults and two children, very well. The location is perfect! A three minute walk to the beach and downtown and close to Traverse City. The view from the porch is priceless! And sunsets on the beach are Pure Michigan! This place is a gem!

The week was perfection. Location, views, activities, and lodging exceeded our expectations. We have a large family and everyone found a place to sleep comfortably in the house. The homeowners are attentive but provide privacy to their guests. We had such a wonderful trip - hope to make this an annual stay.

Beautiful historic house that was within walking distance to town and beach in quiet neighborhood. Very relaxing atmosphere with hammocks, shaded picnic area, and great wrap around porch. The only problem we encountered was how to work the AC, but we were finally able to figure it out. It might have helped if there had been printed instructions for use.

Great location in Elk Rapids with short walk to everything restaurants, parts, beach harbor, marina, great shops, town activities and what a view of the lake! The house is historic and that makes it special. Fun stories about it that you can tell your friends and family about. The owners were very nice and helped with anything we needed. Will we stay again, for sure!!!!

Our whole family (ages 66 to 1 and a half) thoroughly enjoyed staying in this magnificent home built in 1867. We were pleased to have all the modern amenities of air conditioning, dishwasher, washer and dryer, flat screen tv, while still retaining the character and charm of a 19th century home. We had 4 adults and 3 children and never felt crowded with 1800 square feet of living space; and even though with one bathroom it worked. Sitting on the porch gazing at East Bay was a favorite pastime each day. And only steps to the beach, you couldn't ask for more. The owners, Anne and Matt really thought of everything you would need to have a great vacation! We can't wait to come back next summer😊

This property met our needs...a place to sleep with comfortable beds.It would be helpful to have written instructions for the television and which remote goes with each unit. Thank you!

Were there with our three adult sons, and this place was perfect. Plenty of space upstairs with a great living room, large dining room. What we didn't know about ahead of time was how great the community and beach park would be with grassy areas, shaded areas, tables, tennis courts and basketball courts, walking trails -- among other features. Also recommend getting gear for Lake Michigan (like stand-up paddle boards) at Right Tree Adventure, which delivers to the porch. You can also rent boats to go out on Elk Lake to fish/ski/tube at Elk River Marina. Then you have dining choices including Pearl's (New Orleans), Kolu's (bbq/soul), Cellar 152 and Riverwalk Grill. The owners keep the property in great condition and it has all of the amenities you'll need.
