Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic front porch and kitchen. Tons of on property activities, board games and fun. Skegemog access walkable and better water than expected. Amplespace including bedrooms and bathrooms for a party of 8 with constant visitors. Would suggest better insect control as ants and earwigs are quite prevalent in the house. A bit overpriced (probably higher due to bed count) as not on the water.

Summary: We were in the Elk Lake area for a long-awaited family reunion. We have family members with a house on the lake nearby, so were already familiar with the area. The house went beyond expectations with a mix of lovely updated features (particularly the kitchen which is stocked with excellent cooking supplies) and cozy old-school camp style. The house is full of books (classics from Hemingway through Harry Potter), board games (lots of current strategy games) and cozy hang out nooks in and out of the house. The front porch is a great spot any time of day to sit in the Adirondack chairs and watch the sunrise, spot the deer in the field across the street or eat at the picnic table. There is no wifi which can be tricky for those like me with limited data or my husband who had to keep working while on our trip. There is an excellent public library in Elk Rapids with good wifi and an excellent, helpful staff. The house is not on the water but Elk Rapids has a great public beach right in town with free parking and easy access. A lot of the beach is sandy in the water but wearing water shoes are a good idea for avoiding the occasional sharp or slippery rocks and shells. Thank you for a great week!

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this home for 3 families visiting from Australia and Ohio. The facilities were perfect for our needs. We had 6 adults, 2 older teens and two younger children.Our only problem was around the communication with the rental agent. We received specific instructions, the day before the rental, telling us that there was a key safe and giving us the combination. We spent quite some time searching for the key safe and then discovered that the back door was unlocked and the key was on the kitchen bench. Also, we were told that there would be no supplies in the rental. We made a trip to the supermarket before hand and spent several hundred dollars purchasing everything from salt & pepper to paper towels only to find when entering the property that it was well stocked and we only needed to top up the supplies.All up, we would be thrilled to stay in this property again on our next trip.

Summary: The house was really great! The home is located on a quiet street that dead ends at the lake. We didn't spend too much time there, but we walked to the end of the road and our boys took an impromptu swim. Note- there isn't much beach area. The front porch was fantastic. We enjoyed morning coffee and an evening glass of wine watching the many deer just across the road. My children had a great time in the hammock swings. We also enjoyed the many yard activities, and wish we had more time to just enjoy the house/yard! The interior of the house was also great. The kitchen is beautifully redone and we enjoyed cooking there. They had everything we needed to cook our meals- thank you! There are two family room areas in the main house, and although we didn't spend that much time inside during our stay, we loved the comfortable couches and being able to relax. There is one bedroom on the first floor, which has access to the main bathroom. It has a full-size bed. I would strongly encourage they consider putting a Queen size bed there! It worked well for my sibling/sister in law and the room easily accomodated our pack and play for their small baby! With them downstairs, we didn't even hear the middle of the night crying from upstairs. Upstairs, to the right there is a bedroom with a Queen bed and it's own nicely refinished bathroom. To the left, there is a small sitting area, a small bedroom (twin bed with a pull out trumble bed) and then a very large master bedroom with a comfortable King Size bed. The bathroom is located in the Master. There are two AC units upstairs (Master and Queen bedrooms). Thankfully, it wasn't very hot while we were there, but I could imagine it might get warm upstairs at the height of the summer. They did provide fans which was helpful. Some of the photos online are a bit confusing. There are two additional structures/houses in addition to the main home. The first has a Queen size bed. The second is a camp-style with bunks. It's PERFECT for a bit older children, ours were a bit young to stay out there by themselves. Overall, this was a great place to stay for our family vacation! We would absolutely stay again. The location is great, there is so much to do in the area.

The children loved the outdoors and all the games that came with the house.We enjoyed the fire pit and all the hammocks. House is a perfect location near all the chain of lakes, wineries, shopping and dining. Would definitely rent again when and if the occasion arises.

Summary: We had a great time at this property! We stayed here with my parents, our kids and my brother's kids. The house is large and comfortable, with tons of toys and games in case of a rainy day (including a HUGE assortment of Legos, all in color-sorted bins, that the kids played with for hours). The front porch is wonderful to sit and eat on. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook for a crowd. Note, the house isn't super close to a swimmable beach - the lake you can walk to doesn't have a beach nearby. But there are nice beaches within a close drive of the house. There are also tire swings, many hammocks, lawn games, a baseball diamond - tons of fun stuff to do around the house. The kids had a great time sleeping in the bunk house too. The property management company was the only downside. They provide generic information for all of their properties, some of which was inaccurate (for example - it says there's no food or supplies at all in the kitchen, in fact there are spices, oil, vinegar, and staples). They didn't put out the hot coals in the fire ring from the previous guests, and one of the kids got a very bad burn because they stepped into the ring (not realizing the coal was there because it was covered by ashes). The previous guests hadn't put out the trash to be picked up, so the bins were totally full, but the property managers insisted that we put additional trash on top of the full bins so that they were seriously overflowing when the trash pick up service came.

Summary: The location was perfect for us. One in our party is a kayak enthusiast and with so many choices on where to launch and paddle, he was a very happy person. Nearby Beaches are quiet and beautiful which is a plus for us snd we enjoyed the small town feel of towns nearby. There was plenty of room to spread out in this rental too which made it feel home-like. We had a very good time.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the Chippewa house. Accommodated everyone and the bunk house was a hit with all the kids. The location is very convenient to both Elk Lake and Torch Lake. Kitchen area small for the size of the house.

Summary: It was a perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful area with privacy due to Covid 19. The little ones had a blast exploring the property and surrounding lakes. We hope to go back again!
