Cherry-Pick the Ideal Getaway! 4BR/3BA @ Traverse City. Adjacent Beach Access

The Grand Traverse Region is one of the TOP PLACES TO VISIT! Originally known as the cherry capital of the world, it is now home to numerous vineyards, wineries, distilleries and breweries PLUS miles and miles of pristine shoreline, nationally recognized events--such as the National Cherry Festival, and a recent distinction of being the Most Beautiful Place in America (our Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore). This home, while boasting a serene and peaceful setting, is in the middle of all of this!

This property abuts the Whitewater Township Park, which has 150 acres of wooded trails, 2,000+ feet of shoreline along Elk Lake, and a public boat launch and swim area. Elk Lake is your entry point to the “Chain of Lakes”, a 55+mile watershed of 14 interconnected lakes and rivers, including the infamous Torch Lake Sandbar. Rent a boat for the week from one of the many local marinas.

Within a 5 minute drive, you’ll find the $90 Million Turtle Creek Casino with gaming and nightlife; world renowned golf at the Grand Traverse Resort; Flintfield's Equestrian horse park; the quaint village of Elk Rapids-with its many eclectic shops and beautiful riverfront; and Pearl’s Restaurant, a local favorite for New Orleans cuisine—don’t forget to order the crawfish adorned Bloody Mary!


WELCOME :)
My concept is to provide you a home away from home. The idea is to pull up, drop your bags and begin your perfect vacation!
This home has a large open floor plan with vaulted cathedral ceilings and bamboo floors throughout. There are many multiple areas for gathering and relaxing.
The kitchen, open to the dining room, is fully equipped with everything you will need to entertain and enjoy a carefree vacation: dishes, utensils, cookware, glassware. The dining table can seat 6. The granite counter top bar area seats 4.
Relax with a cocktail in the formal living room. Enjoy the view from the bank of bright windows. Unwind and read a book, or watch the large screen television with surround sound.
There is a recently remodeled full bath on the main floor--conveniently located. It has a large tiled shower that is very accessible (a low edge). Towels, linens, soaps and shampoos are provided.
There is a computer nook for those desiring a private work space.
The main floor bedroom is large and airy and has a king size bed and private bath. The shower and stool are isolated from the double vanity sink area....so sharing space while getting ready for an outing is a breeze. The room also has a very large walk in closet with iron & ironing board.
The 2nd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and a trundle bed. The room could comfortably sleep 4.
The 3rd bedroom, on the upper level, has a double bed and overlooks the woods & lawn.
The 3rd bathroom, on the upper level, is located between the two bedrooms. It has a step in shower/tub, vanity and stool.
The 4th bedroom is in the lower level (finished, walk-out basement). It has a king Sleep Number bed and also one twin bed. This space could comfortably sleep 3.
There are two decks outside. The front deck is great for sunning--it never has any shade. Bring your sun tan lotion! The side deck is large, located immediately off the kitchen French doors and is partially shaded by noon. It has an umbrella table and chairs as well as additional cushioned chairs. There is also a gas grill on the deck, the perfect place for a summer barbecue.
The property has ample space for parking. The driveway is large and asphalt paved. There is a fire pit area for roasting s'mores. Beach volleyball and public swimming can be found at the township park right next door!

Every effort will be made to ensure you have an amazing and memorable vacation. Reserve your space today!

Relaxing Weekend
The home was clean and in a wonderful area. The setting is very relaxing for a fire, to sit out on the deck, and relax with friends or family! Close to Traverse Bay where we rented a boat for the day, and closer to Elk and Torch lake. I would certainly stay here again!

Perfect Home for Family vacation
This house was all that was advertised and more. The close proximity to the water with the privacy and space for our family was perfect. Everything was very well communicated and there was no need for us to contact the property manager at any time. Information inside the house was clear and concise. It was perfect for two families with both adults and teens.

Nice Location near Traverse City
The property was well maintained and located conveniently near Traverse City and ElK Rapids, Michigan. Driving back and forth was very picturesque through local cherry orchards and provided a great opportunity to purchase locally grown cherries. You can definitely see the property was updated and the deck was a great place to unwind and enjoy the night sky at the end of the day. The cleaning crew was not detail oriented during clean up and there are two beds in the basement. The basement was not set up as a comfortable sleeping space, the area definitely needed a dehumidifier. The extra outdoor space and firepit was an added bonus to enjoying a quiet, relaxing evening. There is a short drive to the campground to access the nearby lake, the property is not located near water.

Beautiful Setting
This house was in a great location. Peaceful setting, walking trails and boat dock nearby, and easy drives to Torch Lake, Traverse City and Charlevoix. We enjoyed our week long stay here. We had 6 adults, and every couple had their own space and bathroom. The house was clean, comfortable and had a lot of amenities. Great place to stay!

Property was everything we could ask for. The house had plenty of room for everyone and deck was perfect for a early morning coffee and late nite drink. Fire pit was perfect for the 2 nights with out power due to the storms. Can’t wait to visit this property again.

Beautiful home and great location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home! It was the perfect size for our annual trip with 4 couples and we loved the proximity to the boat launch on Elk Lake... made it super easy for us to enjoy both Elk and Torch Lakes! Sally was great to work with in answering questions and very responsive. We hope to come back for another stay in the future!

Excellent place for a large family getaway
Nice large clean and well stocked house which accommodated two families with kids for a total of 9(4 adults and 5 kids). Good location to access Elk Rapids, Traverse City, Torch Lake, etc. Sally was very responsive to questions and concerns. Wonderful deck, fire pit, large dining area which were enjoyable for all. A note to prospective renters: there is wi-fi even though the listing specifically says that there isn’t- that was a nice surprise. Thank you for a very relaxing vacation in Northern Michigan!
