Other Details to Note

🌿 Please Note: Elni Lake offers peaceful, scenic views and is a great spot to relax and unwind. However, it’s a small, shallow lake and not ideal for swimming or water sports—especially in late summer when lily pads naturally cover much of the water near the property. There is no dock or direct lake access from the property. Looking for a lake day? Clear Lake is just a 2-minute drive away and offers pontoon, paddleboard, and kayak rentals. Prefer bigger water adventures? Houghton Lake and Higgins Lake are both under 45 minutes away and offer boat rentals and full-day fun on the water.
