This is the second time we have stayed at one of Kara's properties and both times were amazing. Everything is exactly as described, clean, and well organized. This is a perfect space for a family getaway.

This is an amazing place to stay. Kara thought of everything that vacationers may need at her home. The home is decorated perfectly and they offered lots of games and other activities to do inside the house as well. The place was squeaky clean and I would highly recommend staying at her place. We will definitely try to come back.

I have stayed in a number of rental properties, but nothing as spotlessly clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and cozy as this one. So much attention to went into making guests comfortable - the hosts went above and beyond. My mom, sisters and I were impressed. I can't say enough good things about this house. It made for the perfect weekend getaway! Will definitely be renting from Kara and Alexa again. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Kara’s place for a girls weekend, and I highly recommend the stay! We visit TC every fall for a wine weekend and this has been our favorite spot so far! The house was clean, organized, and had everything you may need. We raved about the decor and all talked of how great of a spot it would be to bring our individual families to; there are toys, a play space, games, and a yard to play in. Getting to restaurants is a quick 7 minute walk; we walked each night and didn’t have any issues. We had no complaints about our stay and will definitely be staying here again!

The Elm House was beautiful. The house is decorated so well. Beautiful and trendy inside. The house was spotless too. The kitchen was well stocked. Kara left lots of information about the area and things to do. The house is walking distance to downtown Sutton’s Bay. I’d highly recommend this home.

This is our 4th time in the area but first time staying at the Elm House. It was perfect for us! Every detail was thought of from kitchen and bathroom needs to instructions for all items clearly marked to everything we needed for our kids! It was the perfect place for our 4 and 1 year old as there were so many toys, games, kids dishes, a garage full of kids toys, a pack & play, gates, a high chair, and books! They were tucked away in a way that made them easy to find but so if you didn't bring kids, you wouldn't even need to know they were there! It was walkable to everything in Sutton's Bay and drivable to so many things! The hosts were so quick to respond. Everything was clean and good quality. Neighbors were friendly. We've stayed at a lot of short term rentals and this one was the best we've been to! Definitely will be back!
