Family-friendly vacation rentals in Elk Rapids

My little family of 4 ( 3 year old & 9 month old) really enjoyed our stay at Jeff’s place! It was the perfect balance of getting cozy with the family, & romance with the Mrs. Already planning our next stay…if Jeff will have us again😊.

We absolutely loved staying here for our weekend in winter getaway! It was only 30 minutes from downtown Traverse City and 45 minutes from all the wineries on the Old Mission Peninsula! The place is charming and is the perfect private area to unwind but close enough to all the towns! We had a relaxing time here!

This is challenging…Michigan has a vibe & an energy that is indescribable…This Airbnb exceeds all expectations! Love this place! As a disabled veteran… I yearn to move to Michigan…I honestly do not want to leave this review because I do not want tourist to find out about this lil private secret place! It is a slice of heaven on earth! Thank you! Peace 💜🥳🔥

Over the top amazing place to stay. Beautiful, comfortable and adorable! Seth and Kelsey were outstanding hosts and my husband and I were so impressed, these two should give lessons on how to be the perfect hosts!!! The food was amazing and they also slipped in a little birthday surprise for me. The property was so well maintained and the hot tub and fire pit were a welcome surprise and we enjoyed meeting other guests fixing s’mores!! I forgot to sign the guest book so will be back soon!!

The home was beyond expectations and included everything you could need and more. It was secluded and the natural beauty was breathtaking! The host was immediately responsive when we had a question and exceedingly accommodating. The hot tub was perfect on a cold misty morning overlooking the serene river view just a few steps from the deck. Highly recommended and hoping to return next year.

This home is a gem! The location is so private, wooded and beautiful. We enjoyed the hike to the lake view available on property. The home was so welcoming and cozy. I didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay, this place had everything and worked great for our bachelorette party group of 14! Everything was clean and neat, easy to find a use, and Barb was very helpful with any question we had! Traverse city was an easy 20 minute drive. The farm animals were fun to have around as well! We loved it and highly recommended this place!

Marvelous, The stay at Yana's condo was marvelous. Clean, Efficient and peaceful. with a wonderful " winter wonderland" view. Yana was very helpful and responsive, and I felt right at home during my stay. Thank you again!

Lauren’s chalet is spacious, beautiful, well decorated and really feels like home. My husband and I loved the primary suite, the bed was very comfortable. The kids loved the treehouse and all of the trees behind the house. I wish we had better weather but regardless of the cold, we really enjoyed the stay. The WiFi worked great even though it’s very remote!

Great host! We enjoyed our stay. Awesome location. We’ve stayed in TC many time and this is our favorite. We hope to stay with Fernando again in the future. Thanks for making us feel at home!

Maria’s place is an absolute gem! We stayed three nights over NYE and it was exactly what we needed! It is a gorgeous cabin with thoughtful touches … very peaceful yet close enough to anything you would need. Although, it’s very well appointed so quite easy to just stay in and get cozy by the fire. We drove to Sleeping Bear Dunes area which was not too far and found the drive to be very beautiful! The best part was the snow we woke up to New Year’s Day … just magical and our dogs loved it. 10/10 recommend!

Terrific host!

Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! Ken and Rhonda were the perfect hosts, they were very flexible with check in and check out times and available to us during our stay. The stay is in a renovated garage next to their house, but we felt like we had lots of privacy and the setting with the pond and lots of land is wonderful. Everything seemed new, clean, and comfy, with lots of games that our kid loved. We loved the location, it felt remote but was also very convenient to everything we like to do in the area!

The tiny house was just wonderful. Lisa has put into lots of considerations in building this small but well equipped space. We brought our dog and cat, who were warmly welcomed by Lisa. The house was clean, organized, and cute. All of us had a great time spending a couple of nights there. Would definitely come back.

My fiancé and I enjoyed a long weekend here. We felt right at home and so did our dogs. Great location, close to everything. We explored TC, and did day trips to Petoskey and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Clean and well stocked, Kristi was very responsive. We will be back!

We had a wonderful weekend and totally enjoyed the Condo. It was clean, organized and we felt right at home. We most definitely would stay there again. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent from you. It was nice to have a home, instead of just hotel rooms. Excellent experience.

Absolutely loved the location of this rental! It was like a 3 minute walk over to the yellow chair. So, so easy! The condo is also fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is decorated super cute, was clean and very accommodating. We would stay here again for another ski trip.

We stayed at Cathy's place while having plans at Nub's Nob. The location was absolutely perfect. Cathy was incredibly friendly and helpful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and it truly felt like a home away from home. We would, without a doubt, stay here again when in the area.

We had a great time and the location was perfect! Walkable to the ski slopes gave us the flexibility to come and go as we needed! Great space to hang out after a long day of skiing and full kitchen made meals easier! Had a wonderful time and would recommend!

The condo was neat, clean and centrally located in Traverse City. The view was just beautiful! Little touches like having the light switches labeled and coffee available were appreciated. I would definitely love to return someday!

Sunset Glory has been our "go-to" ski weekend rental for years! We Love the apartment and being right in town and so close to the Highlands!

We loved staying here for a little weekend getaway! Dorene and John were so helpful and kind. The place was awesome so close to everything! Everything was so cozy and well put together, the hot tub with view is awesome!! We for sure will be back

Mary was the perfect host. Her place was clean, spacious, and so comfortable. Great directions once in town, and awesome recommendations in her table side book with instructions. All amenities and just beautiful decorated . COZY !! Highly recommend Fish Town . Hop Lot brewery and the Cove were outstanding for dinner. Friendly people !! Ugly pies was a little farm stand with the Best homemade pies and apples. Hopefully we can come up again next year. We will definitely stay at Marys place !!! Thank you again, Laura
