Beautiful cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay in Elk Haven Lodge! Not only was the cabin beautiful and clean, but the owner Bruce was very friendly and responsive. We had elk in the yard the first morning we were there. We really enjoyed our time in the rocking chairs on the porch and at the fire pit. We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable stay and can't wait come back and stay here again!

Wonderful cabin!!! Great location!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It was even nicer than the pictures and the pictures are gorgeous as it is! The cabin is immaculate and has everything you might want or need! It was better than staying in a hotel. The wraparound porch, the views, relaxing fire pit area, and comfort make it one of our favorite trips! We would absolutely stay here again and will recommend it to anyone else heading to this area! Thank you Bruce for making it so lovely and being available if we needed anything!!

Lovely setting

This beautiful property had all the amenities that one would need in a peaceful, serene setting. The nightly elk visits were beyond belief! The house was clean, well stocked and in a great (easy to access) location- especially for those hauling a trailer. The owner was responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend this property and will look to book again in the future.

Our Journey to Creating a Peaceful Retreat
In 2008, my wife and I rented our first cabin, a cozy haven in nature. From the moment we arrived, we felt a "Peaceful Easy Feeling" that was a serene escape from everyday life.
As we spent more time there, we realized this feeling was special and wanted to share it. Whether guests were seeking adventure or a quiet retreat, we wanted them to experience the same peace and contentment.
Our vision was to create a sanctuary where guests could relax and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. The sight of elk walking by never fails to captivate us and reminds us of life's simple pleasures.
We poured our hearts into making our cabin the perfect getaway, ensuring every detail contributed to peace and relaxation. From comfortable furnishings to curated amenities, we aimed to create an environment where guests could leave their worries behind and reconnect with themselves and loved ones.
As we welcomed guests, their smiles, gratitude, and stories showed us the impact of our haven. It was rewarding to know we provided a place for solace and rejuvenation.
Our journey from renting our first cabin to creating a beloved retreat has been filled with joy, hard work, and fulfillment. We are grateful for every guest who has stayed with us and experienced the peaceful feeling we cherish. We hope each visit leaves guests with cherished memories and a renewed spirit.
So, come, relax, and enjoy the serene beauty of the elk. Savor the tranquility and let the peaceful feeling wash over you. Our cabin awaits, ready to provide the perfect escape, just as it has for us.
