Wonderful Stay
Wonderful Stay
We were a large group in town Memorial Day Weekend for the Bayshore races. Monica’s home is incredibly charming, well-appointed and in a great location in Elk Rapids. There was enough room in the house for our group of 12 runners/walkers! Monica is an incredible host and communicated with us often regarding check-in/checkout and providing lots of tips and recommendations for our stay. I will definitely refer others to this property!

Quiet Bachelorette Weekend

We had a fantastic weekend of 10 women (age 25-45ish)! Everything we could possibly need was available either in walking distance, or already in the house. We did a have a slight hiccup for check in as the last guests had forgotten to complete the check out procedure, but the missed time at check in was provided at our check out to compensate (which we loved). The entire time we had direct communication with Monica, and she was very quick to respond and was very willing to help. Seriously! That 3rd floor room with all the twin beds! It's amazing! All of us adult women wanted to sleep up there because it was THAT COOL!!! It was like a childhood dream come true. This would be an excellent rental for multiple families with younger kids. We had a very nice conversation with the neighbors on check out day, and he said we "did very well," I'm not sure what he expected, but maybe it was because we were all exhausted and sleeping by the city quiet hours of 11pm? We would certainly rent this property again, and maybe bring our kids with us next time! (Maybe... we might have to fight them for that 3rd floor room).

You won't be disappointed.

Our family had a wonderful time at the property. Super location, very roomy, well stocked, everything in good operating condition. We were a party of 5 adults but we also were able to host a few other local friends/family for a couple of meals and smores using the large kitchen and backyard. Monica is a great host. Keeping us updated and quick to respond to all of our requests. We had no issues and will definitely keep this property at the top of our list for our next Elk Rapids visit.
