This property was exceptional from the moment we booked. Great communication with the property management. When we arrived everything was exactly what we expected from all the pictures. The house accommodated our family of 10 very comfortably. It’s location is just far enough to enjoy the peace and quite of nature, but still close enough to the rim and all the lakes to really enjoy exploring the area. We hope to come back again.

Elkwood Lodge was such a nice getaway for our family - our only complaint is we wish we could have stayed longer. It has great 360 degree views and beautiful grounds. The cabin is well kept and clean. We had a blast on that deck watching the sunrise, listening to animal sounds, and playing games. Our kiddo had fun downstairs watching movies and playing. I highly recommend Elkwood Lodge to anyone.

The property is great for families. Plenty of space in and around the house to not feel on top of one another. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and there is a trail directly behind the house for hiking. Bird watching on the porch is a must, and it was awesome to have a bucket of bird seed provided.

As advertised: very nice property, beautiful views. We had a clear sky at night, so the stars were amazing. Hiking trails directly from the yard. Large fenced in yard that our 2 dogs loved. Thank you!

I can’t recommend this house more! The hosts are wonderful, the property has everything you need and more. The location is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by stunning views and close to stores and restaurants. We will be returning to this gem of a house!
