Description
Experience the rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with this charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch cottage, held by the same family for over 75 years. Situated on one of the largest parcels on the water, this property boasts an impressive 259 feet of pristine frontage on the highly sought-after Elk Lake. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or an active lifestyle, this all-sports lake offers the perfect backdrop for premier swimming, boating, and some of the finest fishing in the region. Located close to many fine golf courses, popular local eateries, and 15 minutes from West Branch for shopping. The home itself seamlessly blends nostalgic character with modern peace of mind. Throughout much of the interior, the original woodwork has been meticulously preserved, lending an air of warmth and craftsmanship that is rarely found in contemporary builds. Large windows frame spectacular, unobstructed views of the water, ensuring that the beauty of the lake is always the focal point of your living space. Significant mechanical updates have been completed to ensure year-round comfort and reliability, including a newer furnace, central air conditioning, and a private well. For added security, the property is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator. Beyond the main residence, the expansive grounds feature a 24 x 32 pole building finished with power, providing ample space for a workshop, boat storage, or vehicle housing. This is more than just a home; it is a legacy estate offering unmatched privacy and potential on the shores of Elk Lake.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average1. Outdated and Overly Strict School RulesThe phone policy is one of the worst. During an assembly, administrators claimed it exists to help us “focus” and protect our “mental health.” They also said that in an emergency, students contacting the outside world could “overload phone lines.” The rule is extreme: phones must stay powered off and locked in lockers from bell to bell. Why not create a smarter system like silent mode or designated check-in times instead of treating every student like a criminal? Forcing kids to surrender their devices entirely feels designed to push students toward dropping out and make the environment as hostile as possible.The no-hoods rule is equally ridiculous. On a freezing day in class, I put my hood up for warmth and was immediately sent for detention. Staff seem more obsessed with catching rule-breakers than actually teaching.The flag policy in the handbook is outright discriminatory. It explicitly states that only the U.S. flag and Michigan state flag are permitted. No Chinese, French, Mexican, or any other national flag is allowed. That sends a clear message about whose identity matters.Even the “no phone in pocket” clause is absurd if staff spot a bulge that might be a phone, the device is confiscated on the spot and taken to the office.2. “100% Bully-Free Zone” A Complete LieThe school proudly advertises itself as a “100% bully-free zone.” That claim is laughable. I’ve witnessed and personally experienced bullying on multiple occasions. When teachers or staff see it, they often look the other way or do nothing. The slogan is just empty marketing.3. Staff Hypocrisy and FavoritismStaff routinely break the very rules they enforce on students. I’ve seen teachers scrolling on phones, wearing hoods, and acting more immature than the kids. False accusations fly constantly; I’ve been blamed for things I didn’t do, and I know I’m not alone. Meanwhile, certain students get a free pass pure favoritism. When the adults can’t follow their own policies, why should anyone respect them?Student Review7mo ago - Surline Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have just moved to the West Branch area from near Detroit MI. My son attends Surline Elementary and has never been happier to go to school. I see such a change in him and after school he says he misses school. They are doing something right! He has daily homework which I believe is great because it keeps him on his toes. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I have no problems with this school and I am glad we moved to West Branch!Parent Review12y ago
