Elk Rapids is a quaint, small town that includes a variety of, gift shops, antiques, a movie theater, library and marina. Wake up early to get the best donuts at the local bakery! Stroll through the town and meander down to the marina to get breath-taking views of the Grand Traverse Bay and docked boats. Best of all, pack your beach gear and head to the beach located in Memorial Park. Kids love this white sand beach, including the swimming alcove off to the side, as well as the jungle gyms, swings, basketball and tennis courts.
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. Although summer is the most popular season to travel to northern MI, fall is an exceptionally beautiful time of year as well.
Located in Elk Rapids, this vacation home is in the city center and near the beach. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Michigan and Torch Lake. Guntzviller's Spirit of the Woods Museum and Music House Museum are also worth visiting.
