This place was the perfect getaway for my wife and kids. Right on the lake with a canoe and paddle boards included. House had everything we needed to allow us to cook, grill, etc…highly recommended!

We have stayed at Elk lodge several times and have always enjoyed it. It is a big place with plenty of rooms for a large family or family reunion type visit. It was clean and well-maintained, so previous reviewer concerns about inside maintenance have been addressed. The wonderful balcony/porch does get dusty so I would ask for more attention to making sure the outside furniture is cleaned off because it will get dust and debris every time the wind blows through. If you have someone with limited mobility in your group, they may have trouble getting down to the water and dock since the path is somewhat steep, although it is coated with nonslip surface but has no rails. Fishing at the dock was good with plenty of sunfish. The road to the property is still bumpy but only for about a block or so. Overall, we had a great trip, and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Area's Retreat is wonderful! Very clean, comfortable and plenty of room. Great parking. We love that this house is on the upper quiet end of the lake. We spent most of our time on the back porch with a view of the water. The boat lift was a huge bonus and worked well. The boat ramp is just down the street and super close. We loved that we could bring our dogs and the whole backyard was fenced. If you swim off the dock, the ladder is not great. We will definitely be back!
