Cairn House Bed & Breakfast is a stately, two-story colonial home in a serene, natural setting located two miles north of the village of Elk Rapids, MI, near Traverse City, Michigan. Guests are invited to stroll about the one and one-half acres of manicured grounds or spend the day enjoying Elk Lake (directly across the road from Cairn House, no lake access) or nearby Torch Lake. Your hostess takes great pleasure in sharing the elegant furnishings collected while living abroad. Relax in front of the fireplace in the spacious living room or retreat to the sun room to enjoy a book. The "pineapple", the colonial symbol of hospitality, dates back to the days when sea captains returned from their long voyages. Placing a pineapple outside their door signified that they were welcoming friends and neighbors for a visit and sharing their hospitality. Cairn House welcomes you to share the warm hospitality while you explore the endless activities available in and around Elk Rapids.

We had an enjoyable time touring NW Michigan from this Elk Rapids B&B. From the humming birds and wonderful breakfasts to the travel, it was enjoyable. Marvelous recommendations for restaurants in the area and things to see. Very quiet location and an easy drive to all the things we wanted to see.

We spent three nights here and absolutely loved it! Helen is a wonderful person, a fantastic cook (the breakfasts were delicious!), and a gracious hostess. The home is immaculate and very inviting. The location is great, very close to downtown Elk Rapids and the chain of lakes so there's alot to do. We would definitely return!

4.2 out of 5Perfect for our needs
August 27, 2012
We chose this venue because it seemed like it would be quiet place for us to rest between wedding weekend festivities. We stayed in the quarters behing the main house and this was perfect. Our teen boys can be rowdy sometimes and i felt at ease knowing any noise they made would not affect other quests. Breakfast was cheery in the sun room and we enjoyed chatting with the guests and owner before heading off for the day. I thought the room was clean and adequately appointed. Cleanliness is important to me over everything else and I was very happy that it so. Very nice experience.
5 out of 5Highly Recommended B&B.
August 18, 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed are stay. Helen, the inn owner, was warm, engaging, helpful, and kind. She also accommodated us with leaving a trailer with a vintage car on the property for a car show we were attending in the area. A delicious breakfast was served on an enclosed porch and deck off the back. The porch had large windows on 3 sides making it very bright and cheery. We enjoyed an evening on the back deck with wine purchased at local wineries and chatting with another couple also staying at the B&B. Felt very much like home on our front porch. Will definitely be repeat customers when attending this car show in the future.

A truly delightful experience. Helen was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. She provided us with lots of info on the area which made our days easy to plan. The oriental room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Breakfasts were freshly made and not the usual fare - delicious. Thanks - we really enjoyed our stay. Chris & Janet
