With the 3 bedrooms and the entire 3rd floor space, the home easily sleeps 10 and with the futons you can sleep up to 12.

Wedding Weekend
We invited friends from out of town to stay at this property during our wedding weekend in Elk Rapids and all had a phenomenal time! There were enough places to sleep for all of us, and the quality of the space made everyone feel they were staying somewhere special. The Toomeys maintain their home very well and there was a delightful amount of space to sit on the porch or inside and catch up with loved ones. Would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity!

Gorgeous, welcoming home in perfect location!
My family and I loved our stay in this beautiful home! There was plenty of space for all of us (5 adults) with room to spare. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining room had a large table that could easily accommodate everyone for a sit down dinner. All of the rooms were very comfortable with many thoughtful details. We loved sitting on the front porch reading and watching the world go by. The public beach and the shops and restaurants of River Street were just a couple of blocks away, and we walked there several times a day. We highly recommend this home and hope to rent it again next summer.
