Summary: We loved staying in Elk Ridge! The location was great for day trips to Traverse City, Mackinac, Charlevoix, Torch Lake... And the downtown shopping/dining area in Elk Ridge was our favorite. A short walk to the beach, and so much beautiful landscaping. The next door lot was a little sketch, but we never saw anyone there or had any issues. Also right across from the police station which was reassuring :) The house is historic, so a little less posh than we are used to. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable, but having no bathrooms upstairs was a bit of a hassle for us older ladies. The front porch/sunroom was our favorite spot to hang out. We had a fantastic trip -- thanks for hosting us!
