Family-friendly holiday rentals in Elk Lake

Such a nice quiet spot! The area had multiple campers and spaces rented out but it felt like we were alone, that’s how well it was spaced out and set up. Kid friendly and very easy to relax. Will definitely be back!

I stayed at Melissa's place with a group of 4 other girls for my sister's bachelorette party. Not only was the space perfect sized for our group, but the girls and I could not get over how amazing the property was. We obsessed over the view from the kitchen window, the decor and gingham curtains in the living room, and the loft bedroom. Everything was so well done and thought through and we spent a majority of our time during the weekend hanging out at the house, having dinner on the front porch, and admiring the baby pigs!! And when we did venture into Sutton's Bay or Traverse City, the ride was smooth and had beautiful scenery of up north Michigan. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the linens were definitely adequate for all of us to sleep comfortably. I will definitely be booking here again!

Over the top amazing place to stay. Beautiful, comfortable and adorable! Seth and Kelsey were outstanding hosts and my husband and I were so impressed, these two should give lessons on how to be the perfect hosts!!! The food was amazing and they also slipped in a little birthday surprise for me. The property was so well maintained and the hot tub and fire pit were a welcome surprise and we enjoyed meeting other guests fixing s’mores!! I forgot to sign the guest book so will be back soon!!

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.

Really enjoyed our stay there, very pleasant and peaceful. Lots of room, accommodating. Host is top notch, responsive, friendly and very flexible. They accepted all of our requests. Thanks so much for everything!! 👍👍

This was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. The house is in a quiet area with easy parking and views and an easy walk to the bay. Check-in was simple, with Kate providing great instructions for the keypad to let ourselves in. The house was cozy with all amenities as described, and we felt right at home. All the Traverse City attractions were easy to get to, and Kate provided great recommendations. We had an awesome time and would definitely stay here again.

My family & I loved it . Everyone was content just staying at the cottage . Lol but we did check out A couple of the recommendations & they were very nice !! Great stay will definitely book again !!

This was such a great stay! Super close to Sleeping Bear but accessible to Traverse City and Leland so it was just what we wanted! The place was very clean, quiet, and comfortable.

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

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!

Being right in the commons was a fun experience. You walk out the door and restraunts, bars, shops just a short walk away. But all the while the place is very quiet and never felt like there was much around when inside. very short drive to downtown Traverse City. We were going to bring our dog and Fernando was very much accommodating for that. It was 100 degrees out and the place was nice and cool. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved Dave's place! The house was very comfortable and access to the lake was excellent. My family loved being able to fish and play in the lake when we weren't out sight seeing in Traverse City. We had the resort all to ourselves the week we were there, so it was our own private oasis!

Great location where we needed to be and Eric was very accommodating by letting us in a little early, wound recommend this place and wound stay there again.

Really nice! Peaceful nature setting, yet close to downtown TC. We saw deer and various birds in yard, and a big turtle. Comfortable for us and our pets. Access to the bike trail was awesome. Giant bath tub was a luxury! We will be back.

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

We had such an amazing time at Rhonda and Ken’s place that we decided to extend our stay within the first 24 hours of arriving. The space was beautiful and peaceful. Very spacious and clean kitchen and living area. We had so much fun sitting on the porch, our dog loved it too! We also enjoyed the small lake in the back and the yard space. Definitely a piece of heaven that we will remember forever. Rhonda and Ken were so welcoming and helpful too.

Place was great and super clean. Loved the space and fit the three families perfectly. Only bummer was no access to the pool but that was out of the owners hand and she was going to follow up immediately on the change in the process.

a pleasure . . as always. Clean place, efficient check in, great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob and Lisa’s place!

Mathew’s place was wonderful and it was so close to the lifts… we loved his cozy slope side chalet! We will definitely book again in the future!

Everything was great! We had an amazing time and this place met everyone’s needs!

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!

My 4 kids, husband and I have been coming to Shanty creek resorts for over 10 years. This is the first time we stayed somewhere other than the resort hotels. We enjoyed we were able to bring our dog on this trip, we had a kitchenette, and we did more in the area because we had to drive ourselves. This gave us a chance to explore and save more money. By staying in a place more reasonable than the hotel and we were able to cook ourselves and didn't have the added expense of a dog sitter. 4girls sharing one bathroom worked out better than I thought. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you The Ramsey family

We had such an amazing time here for our bachelor/bachelorette party! It had plenty of space for all of us and it was absolutely beautiful! Jenna was so responsive about everything especially when the air conditioning wasn’t working right and got it fixed immediately which we were so thankful for! We absolutely loved our trip!
