Please note- Noise Considerations:

This is an urban property located on a high traffic road, which is great for easy access to local attractions, but some street/city noise should be expected. Sound Machine and earplugs will be provided.

We traveled to Elk Rapids for a long weekend with family and the Ames Cottage was perfect for our group. Central location with plenty of space inside and out for everyone.

1. The booking price should be listed for each week on the calendar and not unlisted until you book it. Then be told if you do not book now, the price will change. Prices naturally drop after Labor Day. This one rose. 2. This cottage is not handicap accessible. 3. A key code was given but directions as to which door was not specified in the initial communication. The sign directing you to the expected door was lying on the floor. 4. The cottage floor was uneven and this might present an issue with balance. 5. You were not informed initially that you had to use your own streaming account to watch the TV. 6. Prior to leaving, you were informed to launder the towels. Based on what you are charged for housekeeping, this should not be an expectation. The home is in a perfect location, near the downtown and highway 31.
