Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Elk Rapids

Lovely home and walking distance to everything!

A perfect place to spend Christmas back home! Kelly even had a Christmas tree for us!! The house was just as described with adorable holiday accents. It was a bit too snowy to go in the river, but it was wonderful to watch the weather out the large windows over it. The dogs settled right in. The location is perfect as well. Could not have asked for a better all-around space!

The location was perfect for easy access to the state forest. The interior is spacious and comfortable. If you are interested in hiking, riding or walk trails, Heather has many trail maps for you to checkout. She has provided everything you need for a stay away.

Spent the weekend here for my wife's birthday with some friends. Great location for winery tours/local food, and everything you would need inside and out. Roger is a very responsive host and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Plenty of room inside the house for sleeping for 3 adult couples, could've even fit a 4th no problem in the loft. Home was spacious and the screened in porch is a great hangout spot overlooking the lake.

The house was as described. Brett was responsive and helpful.

We could not have asked for a better location and accommodations for 4 adults and 2 children on our first family vacation. The house is located just off the road on a peaceful and quiet very large lot. The bedding was so comfortable making for very restful nights. We had easy access to multiple beaches, restaurants playgrounds and wineries. When we chose to buy local fish and cook at home we found the kitchen well apportioned and stocked. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this little piece of heaven in Leland. PS: we enjoyed our daily visit with her chickens and she was generous to share the most delicious eggs. We were spoiled by everything this place has to offer.

Amanda was incredibly friendly, informative, responsive and flexible with all of our needs and communication throughout our NYE stay at her beautiful home! The house was spotless, there was coffee and a bottle of wine with a sweet note waiting for us on the table at check in, as well as thoughtful touches like dog bowls, towels and sheets to cover the furniture so we could still have some snuggle time with our pup. The back yard was perfect with an awesome hot tub, lights, fire pit and fully fenced for our fur baby to run and play. If you are looking for an easy to find, centrally located, beautiful and comfortable place to stay in Traverse City, I would 100% recommend this place as well as any others that Amanda hosts!

My family and our dog came to Northport for a family wedding at Willowbrook Mill and had an AMAZING stay at the Straubel House. The house was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The dog loved the fenced yard and we were like a block off the bay! We could walk everywhere including to the venue of the wedding. Octavia was friendly and helpful - wonderful host!!

Not only was this peaceful gem just like the listing. BUT the record collection and books are AWESOME!!!! The pet friendly fenced in back yard was spacious and well lit for our Great Dane puppy to run a frolic to her little hearts content. Cant build build a fire?(even though there was ample wood supplied)?? There’s a gas table top fire.. don’t feel like going out??? I made a homemade breakfast pizza and had all the cooking utensils I needed… I felt soo at home and at peace. And enjoyed a trip to Petosky and POND HILL FARM and the tunnel of trees. I JUST need to know one thing??? How much is rent, and when can I move in??

great place, optimal location for skiing and conference event @ main lodge walkable distance clean, convenient. kids enjoyed the loft, plenty of beds great place, would definitely book again

We had a wonderful time! Loved that they had a Christmas tree on, I was a bit sad to leave our tree during the holiday, but Stephanie’s house was beautifully decorated! The house was perfect for our family of four. Could probably fit another small child comfortably as well. We loved that we were able to bring our dog, the fenced in yard was perfect. We would definitely look into renting this house again. Great restaurants that are not too far of a drive. We did not use the grill, but it was a nice amenity to have if you were wanting to eat your meals in the house. Thanks again, Stephanie, have a wonderful new year!!

Great place for the family. Plenty of things to do at the house. Also not too far from Traverse City or Boyne Mountain. Would definitely stay here again!!

Thank you Kristi for allowing us to stay at your home! We had a great time and loved everthing about Gaylord. We spent Christmas here with the family and have to say it really was a white christmas! The home was perfect for the family and had eveything we needed to feel like if we were at home. Once again thank you we will be back soon!

We always love staying at Kaye’s. It is the perfect location for everything in town. We will be back!

Kat and Skip’s place was awesome! Cute, comfy, cozy! Nice tv accommodations if needed, balcony was nice! Definitely would stay here again! The beds were super comfy.

We really enjoyed our stay! The close proximity to the snowmobile trails & relaxing hot tub will bring us back again!

Matt and Jill were wonderful hosts! Their communication was excellent and the accommodations were exactly as pictured; beautiful, clean, and a great location. We really appreciated their warm hospitality, the fact that they were dog friendly, and their efforts to accommodate our check-in/out requests. Five stars all around! Thank you both!

A very cozy cabin with a beautiful view. The fall colors were amazing.

Had a great stay at Cory's. Very private and quiet area but close to a great coffee shop, brewery, restaurant, and ice cream shop in Lake Ann. The "water closets" were unique, but they were needed so we didn't all have to fight for the main bath room and shower, which are dated but work fine. There was plenty of space for 5 of us and a dog. Cory was sure to have the box fan and screen in the 3rd bedroom for us which we definitely needed with no air-conditioning in the bedrooms. We would stay here again.

Beautiful and peaceful. Great little cabin to get away for the weekend. Close enough to shopping in Gaylord. Loved the quiet and the outdoors. Great additional amenities like a pool and ice skating. So many things to do year round.

We felt very comfortable staying here as was nicely decorated with higher end appliances and furnishings and was very clean and well maintained. Mike was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend for those reasons.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Peace Retreat. The location could not have been better, with Lake Michigan just a walk away, and the beautiful trails for easy walking behind the property. We loved the yard set up, with a campfire ready for us to enjoy, the hammocks, and little paths to enjoy the property. We loved all the extra blankets and quirky furnishings inside the home, and it was perfect for us to enjoy a mother daughter weekend.

We had a fantastic winter getaway. Jim's chalet is perfect! It's about 15 minutes to everything you might need from groceries to restaurants to activities. Jim sent the check in/check out, amenities and description of trails behind their property ahead of time as well as specific instructions about locating the property. Upon arrival, we had a tech issue with logging into the Roku and Jim responded right away. The home is super clean, cozy and comfortable. Appreciated the Christmas/Valentine's decorations sprinkled throughout the house as well. Kitchen was stocked with things you don't usually find at other rentals, like salad dressing, seasonings, foil and Ziploc bags-we appreciated all of those things!
