Perfect for families!

We had a wonderful experience staying at elk lake estates over the holidays. Our family of 18 slept and played comfortably in the house. The kids had so much to do, between playing outside, in the game room or doing crafts on the tables. They often said “this is so awesome!” Owner decorated the house for the holidays and it was beautiful! Highly recommend to others for any season.

Great Location Fall of 2023

This home is a lot larger in person, then when you see the online pictures. The layout of the home is great!! Plenty of room everywhere, and the seating is perfect for 14 guests. The owner is very attentive to your needs, and responds right away. We were originally going to plan one night of our three nights to go out to dinner, but we ended up enjoying the house so much that we just cooked in all 3 nights. Our trip was October 2023, weather was a little chilly and light rain, but we still managed in one night of a great Bon fire. This home would be a great summer rental too!! We would definitely consider this house again for future vacations.

Perfect Family Vacation

Our family came from all over the country and it was the perfect spot for us. The house has everything you could ask for plus it’s the ideal lake location. We couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you for making our trip so special. We will be back.

Wonderful Elk Lake

We spent a week at Elk Lake in this wonderful house. Within 24 hours we knew we wanted it again next year. There were twenty of us from 7 months to 66 years. So much space and areas to play or read or gather together. Everything we needed was there. The house has 2 very well supplied kitchens and so many seating areas inside and out. The lake area had crystal. Lear water fir swimming, kayaking or just replacing on the dock. Close to many outdoor beaches and wineries and hiking or many other activities. The hostess, Jennifer, communicated with us perfectly. This is the best property we have stayed on and can’t wait to go back again.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

This was our summer home while raising five children, now they are grown and busy. We want to share the lake and memory making possibilities with our guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

After visiting many lakes in Michigan, we found the best one for our family. Elk Lake is a perfect combination of clear Caribbean water, low boating traffic, and it's close to a charming town with great restaurants. Our favorites are Founders, Pearls, and Riverwalk Grill. For pizza try Jac's Parlor - they may even deliver.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views down Elk Lake, on a clear day you can see the south end of the lake which is about seven miles away! Those views are accessible from almost every room of the house. Elk Lake is connected to Torch Lake through Skegamog Lake and Torch River, spend an entire day boating the famous Chain of Lakes.
