5 Bedroom House in Williamsburg

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.

Summary: The house was great but we had hoped to stay on the sandy beach as advertised. Unfortunately the water is too high so no beach. We saw some amazing sunsets though.

Summary: Great location close to Elk Rapids and with a beautiful bay view and easy beach access. Plenty of kitchen and living space for a larger group of people. However, be aware that the fifth bedroom is very small, without a window, and is functional only for small children. Also, the host unfortunately had to change our check in date with little notice. So, recommend confirming check in date with host after booking.

Summary: The house and property worked well for 5 adults and 5 children. It was very clean and well appointed. The location only one mile from town was very convenient. Judy and Rick were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. Thank you for a wonderful week. The Davison family.

Summary: This house was amazing- Great location and perfect for two large families. The private beach just past the beautiful perrenial garden was awesome. The water was perfect and the sunsets were epic! We had paddle boards and a kayak from a nearby outfitter delivered to the house. There is a the market nearby and Traverse City is a short 15 minutes away. The location is ideal. We will rent here again if we make it back to Michigan from the East Coast!

Summary: Our family just enjoyed a week at this rental property on East Bay. The house, view, location, and accommodations couldn't have been better! There were 4 adults and 7 children in our party and there was room and activities for us all. We enjoyed cooking family dinners in the beautiful kitchen overlooking beautiful gardens and watching the sunset over East Bay. The water level on the bay is still higher than it has been in the past, so the beach isn't very wide, but it allows for the kids to enjoy the shallow water. The water is clean and so clear that you are able to see the bottom even from a good distance from the sore. There were toys at the home for the children to use. The home itself was very clean and comfortable. Down town Elk Rapids is close enough to walk or bike to. We highly recommend staying at this rental property if you are looking for a beautiful, comfortable home on the water and also not far from town.

Summary: My family of 7(ages 20-89)just spent a week at this rental property on East Bay, and the accommodations and location couldn't have been better. The house was beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen and dining area. Judy's gardens and flowers were amazing. The weather cooperated, we were constantly sitting at the waterfront with its great East Bay view and swimming in the beautiful crystal clear Lake Michigan water. We also enjoyed visiting nearby towns for dining and shopping, including Elk Rapids, Traverse City, Suttons Bay, and Leland. I highly recommend this rental property, and would definitely consider staying there again.

Summary: We recently stayed at this home with our extended family. The water level was higher than usual, so the beach was diminished, but our children really enjoyed playing in the water. Because of the high water level, there were hundreds of feet of shallow water for the children to play in. The water here is clear and absolutely beautiful. The home has gorgeous flower gardens, beautiful access to the water, plenty of outdoor and indoor toys and games for children of all ages to enjoy, and many extras. The home is generously appointed and is uniquely designed for the family to enjoy meals together, watch sunsets out the windows, or cozy up in the front study with movies. Our two year old daughter loved the teddy bear and toy nook and we all felt comfortable in the many bedrooms and bathrooms. The house was well stocked with plenty of paper products, laundry necessities, and other items. The house is located near many sites such as the sleeping bear dunes, Traverse City and other scenic spots. Our family really enjoyed our time at this house. We will cherish our memories of this vacation for years to come. We would highly recommend this home.

Summary: We decided to celebrate my wife's retirement on the Michigan shoreline. After careful review we chose to lease from Judy. I guarantee if you decide this is the vacation spot for your family, you will enjoy the very best that Michigan has to offer. The home is absolutely gorgeous, the flower gardens and pathway to the pristine beach are worthy of a botanical setting. You will enjoy endless hours on the sands with a very shallow crystal clear lake , perfect for children. The Sunsets are incredible, Judy is a most gracious and professional landlord. Would return to this home again without hesitation.

Summary: Just returned from a week at this awesome home. The house is in a beautiful location with amazing views of the bay from most of the rooms. It is quiet, private and very relaxing. The amenities in the house are the best we've experienced in a rental home - central A/C for the warmer days, fully-stocked kitchen (including paper towels, garbage bags, spices, dish soap, etc). Judy also includes all of the linens, beach towels, laundry detergent, toilet paper, beach toys and inside toys for the kids. These are things that I've often not found included with a rental. The house is very large - we had 2 families staying and there was plenty of space to congregate as well as private space when needed. The house was very clean and has beautiful furnishings. Judy met us at the home when we arrived and showed us around and answered all questions that we had. Outside, there are beautiful gardens, a great back patio with a Weber grill, a well equipped beach with plenty of seating and a fire pit. The beach is easily accessed by a set of beautiful stone slab steps. We were able to bring our kayaks down to the water with no problems at all. The bay is mostly sandy and shallow making it a fun, safe place for kids to play as well as an easy spot to launch kayaks. I found it to also be a great spot to nap on a lounge chair while listening to the water lap at the shore! The location of the home proved to be an excellent home-base for short trips to Traverse City's Cherry Festival, Sleeping Bear Dunes and kayaking the Lower Platte River out to Lake Michigan (highly recommend Riverside Canoe for rentals). It was nice that the home was within a mile to Elk Rapids which allowed us to bike into town and explore the quaint downtown. It has several antique shops, gift shops and restaurants that we enjoyed. We especially liked Harbor Cafe, Siren Hall and the Chinese take-out. Our daughter had a great time on the playground at the Veteran's Memorial park which also has a great beach. There is also a great beachfront sculpture garden to explore on the way into town. Overall, I highly recommend this vacation home and hope to be able to return to it one day. It had everything we needed and more to make for a wonderful vacation! Thanks Judy!
