This was such a cute quaint stay! We came up north to ski at Shanty/Schuss and were looking or a cost-effective place to crash for the night and this was the perfect spot! We were warmly greeted by name at 9:30pm when we arrived. The room was clean and comfortable and close to a cute downtown where we could grab coffee and breakfast. We highly recommend staying here!

This property started out okay until we took a shower and noticed the water would not drain out, then the next night the toilet would not flush and when you tried to flush the sink would gurgle and water would come up out of the shower floor drain.
The layout wasn't the best, but it was workable. They also didn't really have room to put your suitcase or clothing.

It is a lovely inn located in the village of Elk Rapids. The management is friendly and attentive. Essential amenities were available to guests. The two stone fire pits were an excellent addition for guests to gather and unwind in the evening.
