Property Description

Come explore Elephant Walk, a dog-friendly compound, walkable to beach and town, designed to make memories for your group. It provides multiple gathering spots both outside and in while ensuring ample privacy at the same time. This is a listing for our Main House, which offers giant living spaces to accommodate the whole group and provides 4 very large bedrooms and 3 baths. On the same grounds, there are 5 smaller cottages that offer full kitchens/bathrooms/living spaces and house 1-2 bedrooms each. If you would like to rent the Main House as well as 1+ cottages, please see our VRBO links to the other cottages or message me to check on availability. Host your retreat, wedding party, or reunion here for an unforgettable experience! We allow large group bookings only (Main House + at least 2 cottages) until around late Fall of each year at which point we'll open up the calendar for anyone to reserve the house and cottages separately and allow for instant booking. Please message us for details, and we will respond within 24 hours. Much work has been done to this compound since we bought it in Jan 2019. Stay tuned to this as we will update pictures as changes are made as well as provide more updates we'll make over the coming years. *2024 updates from a home maintenance standpoint: -Entire property: new exterior paint, parking signs for all of the cottages, new ceiling fans -Main House: gas grill added to charcoal grill option, new screened porch furniture and ceiling (no leaks!), kitchen backsplash, new balcony off primary bedroom -Cottage 2: electrical overhaul to fix sporadic outages -Cottage 3: expanded private enclosed yard -Cottage 4: new basketball hoop -Cottage 5: kitchen refresh with new countertops and kitchen sink **Everyone must review the rental agreement which is comprehensive: lists the terms of the rental agreement, the dog waiver (if you are bringing a dog), provides suggested packing items, lists the hot tub rules (for Main House only). **Please designate upon checking out if you are bringing a dog so you can have the pet fee added onto your final total. **Note that Cottage 1 shares a wall with the far hallway corner of the Main House but as of 2022, we've added insulation and other measures to ensure noise transfer is drastically minimized. Cottage 1 and 2 used to have an interior door that locked but it was the source of noise transfer so in Spring of 2022, we closed up that door and added insulation in the units to minimize noise transfer.

Best fall getaway The property is very well cared for and all your needs are anticipated. Since the weather was unusually warm the first day we were able to walk less than 5 minutes to the beach and enjoy Lake Michigan in October. Wonderful! We enjoyed the fire pit out back both nights as well as the hot tub. The ping pong area in the garage made for a great place where either the kids or the adults could go and have fun separately or together. There was plenty of space and a great wifi connection for our teens. Our family is already planning to book this property annually if not more often. We loved it.

Great winter getaway for a group of friends Our group of 8 friends came and stayed for a weekend in February. The house was perfect for hanging out - loved the fireplace especially. Plenty of room for everyone and great kitchen for cooking together. Erica was so helpful and friendly with any questions we had. Short walk up to nearby coffee shop, nice yard, and the backyard fire pit all a huge plus too, even in the winter!

Perfect holiday getaway Our family of 7 spent Christmas weekend at Elephant Walk. It was perfect in every way. Our hosts, Erica and Fred, we’re awesome. They responded quickly with any questions we had and were a joy to work with. We were snowed in most of the time we were there. The fireplace and Christmas decorations made for a warm and cozy atmosphere for us to play games, watch Christmas movies, cook in the well equipped kitchen and have good ol’ family fun. Hot tubbing during the blizzard was a highlight for the young folks. The location is perfect and very walkable to many things (except everything was closed due to the storm). We look forward to going back in warmer weather so we can explore the area more. A good time was had by all!
