Summary: It’s almost impossible to find a quality place that can easily handle 11 people, but this home does that and more…much more. Not only did everyone get their own bedroom and bathroom, there was enough space for everyone to get together for meals and find their own private space when they wanted some “me” time. We hope to go back even if it is pricey. Just an example of getting what you pay for. My kids equated it to Disney World. You pay more, but you leave with a lot of priceless memories.

Summary: This house is perfect for our group of 12. Easy to cook, hang out and enough rooms and beds for all of us. Being right on elk lake with kayak's available was awesome! Minutes from downtown Elk Rapids and short drive to golf courses, casino and downtown TC. Host is super responsive if needed.

Summary: Jennifer was kind enough to allow us to have our wedding at the elk lake estate, in the back yard under the already installed arch. We invited our closest friends and family and spent a long weekend together in the house. Everything went perfect and the house was fully equipped to handle us. The host was amazing in all aspects and we have zero complaints. Our friends and family were left in awe at the lake views and amenities, none of them have ever been to northern michigan before and thanks to the beautiful elk lake estate they are all excited to plan another trip up!

Summary: We had a wonderful time and the host was extremely fast with her responses if I needed anything or had any questions! The kids never were bored with the endless activities on property. Beautiful dock and clean lake water to swim in. We rented a pontoon and used her lift which was great! We were 27 people and the home slept in comfortably!

Summary: 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.
