Elk Rapids is the ideal family vacation spot because it is a quiet, low-key village making it easy to relax and unwind. To get more of an urban atmosphere, Traverse City is only 20-30 minutes away. Travel up Mission Point to all the wineries for a fun afternoon. Charlevoix is a half an hour drive, Petosky approximately 45 minutes, Harbor Springs an hour, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes about an hour.

We had a great stay at the Elk Rapids cottage. Suzanne, the owner, communicated so well and is so organized. The location is excellent for families and we loved walking to dinner and to the lake. I left my watch and Suzanne found it and mailed back to me. We would highly recommend this cottage for a visit to Elk Rapids or the Traverse City area….
