Family-friendly holiday rentals in Elk Rapids

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 💜🥳🔥

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.

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.

My husband and I love the Leelanau peninsula and try to go up once in the spring before the craziness and once in the fall each year. Tiffany’s place did not disappoint. The property its self was magical, private, and everything as described. The location was 5 stars for what we enjoy - Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor and all in between! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

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!

Wonderful host and fantastic condo. Comfortable, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Very nice linens and towels. Location was perfect for us to access Nubs Nob and restaurants in Harbor Springs. Janine was exceptionally welcoming and responsive.

This may be one of my new favorite Air BNB spots! It is very comfortable and close to a lot of spots in Traverse City. The beach view was also very nice to look at. Kara is a great host and provided us with clear check in and check out instructions. Will definitely be visiting again!

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

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!

This was a great place to go to reset and relax. The water was a serene experience and left us feeling awww’d Going to town wasn’t far to get needed supplies We look forward to visiting again!

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.

Tom's place is absolutely beautiful! It is conveniently located, but lots of privacy! We love being able to walk the road with our fur baby's (especially after the snow). Such a wonderful peaceful getaway. We even discovered a new flavor of coffee that Tom provided for the keureg! Tom is very responsive and a wonderful host! We hope to be back soon!!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in this gorgeously updated condo with a lake view. Patty and Al are friendly and responsive and gave us terrific recommendations for dining, sight-seeing, and making the most of our stay. The condo itself is lakeside and the many windows offer lovely views - both sunrise and sunset. Downtown restaurants and gift shops in Boyne City are just a short walk away along the waterfront, passing parks and boat launches along the way. We visited summertime but it's perfectly situated for skiers as well.

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.

This location was perfect for our winter get away. Check in was easy, the house was clean and ready for us to enjoy time with our family. We were a group of 8 people, four adults and four children. there was space for all of us to spread out and enjoy time inside as well as outdoors. Beds were extremely comfortable! The cabin was located close to many activities such as shopping in Gaylord and snowtubing at Boyne Mountain. Andreia was helpful in providing suggestions for things to do. our group enjoyed using the club house pool as well. overall our stay was perfect. I would absolutely book this same cabin again for another family vacation.

Carrie's Place met all the needs of our family. They went to snowboard and were able to do lots of that despite the recent ice storm. They liked the spacious rooms, winding staircase to the loft, fireplace and being able to have their own bedroom. The 3 boys also enjoyed the waterpark at Boyne Mountain Resort. The grandparents hope to rent the same place in the summer for some northern Michigan golf and hiking.

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!

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

Collin's place was perfect for our family's stay. We had a 16 month old and he had plenty of room to play. The location was perfect, only a 2 minute drive to park and go skiing. I loved that there were fans for the bedrooms lol! We went to a local bar and grill called Geno's Sports Bar and the food was Excellent! There is plenty to do at Crystal Mountain and Collin's place is a perfect spot to enjoy all the outdoor activities!!
