Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Just to start out, I wasn't actually a "guest" staying at Elk Lake Resort, but we were camping nearby and decided to pop in for a quick look around. What we found were some amazing people who were extremely welcoming and pleasant to be around. We ended up buying a few drinks and chatting for a few hours, then returning the next day for lunch and another good visit. This is a great get-a-way spot with people that make the experience well worth it. Thanks all for the great times, and we do hope to see you again in the future. Ben and Jess”
“We recently stayed at Elk Lake Camp with family and friends and had an excellent time. Laurel, Jake and staff are great hosts. The lodg, cabins and people are friendly an inviting in a majestic and relaxed setting. The main lodge and bar was great place to gather on a rainy day to play games, catch up and share a cocktail. If you are looking for an off the grid, low key vacation this the spot. Plus the food and meals were outstanding. I will be back!”
“Everything about this place was an absolutely positive experience. They treated my little group like friends. We had so much fun there and I can't wait to go back. The food is particularly outstanding. My new favorite place!”
“We should’ve written this post 10 years ago when we had our wedding reception here — but now, on our 10-year anniversary, it feels just as meaningful. Chris, Jake and Laurel do a fantastic job of creating an environment where you can truly enjoy the beauty of nature and the people you’re with. The food portions are generous, and the hospitality is every bit as warm and memorable as the scenery. If you’re looking for a place to unplug and reconnect with what matters, this is it. We absolutely love this place and the amazing memories we’ve made here.”
