This cozy cabin, perched above a quiet, beautiful lake, with views of soaring pine trees and wildlife is a great place for relaxing next to the warm fireplace, or taking a dip in the cool water. If you're feeling adventurous, consider hiking nearby trails, or enjoying a game, or a laugh with family and friends around the fire pit.
The cabin sits about 80 steps (a challenge for some) above Elk Lake. Elk lake is a no wake lake that is great for fishing, kayaking (we have two), and swimming.
The space:
The cozy cabin has four bedrooms on the main floor. One queen, two double beds, one single bed and a full futon and one full bathroom on the main floor off of the fully stocked kitchen and family room. The upstairs has a queen size bed bedroom and a full bathroom with its own heat and air conditioner and a beautiful view of the lake.
Stay comfortable with central air during the warm months and a wood burning fire place in the cool. Sip your coffee or grill out on the deck off of the kitchen on the patio furniture or picnic table.
Outside, let your children, or furry friends play without worry in the fenced in yard. Start a fire in the fire pit or try out some provided yard games in the large grassy yard.
At the lake: There are about 80 steps to reach the lake. Trust us, it is well worth the hike if you are physically able. Please know that the steps may be too much of a challenge for some. Elk lake is a beautiful no wake lake perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming. We have a dock at the water to relax, swim from, or tie up your boat. We also provide two kayaks, a paddle board, paddle boat, and life vests. There is a boat landing directly across the lake about 1/4 mile down the road-a quick drive, or a nice walk.
We supply the following: blankets, linens, pillows, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker and coffee, glasses, cups, water, firewood for heating the cabin, outside chairs and table, grill, fire pit and washer and dryer in the basement for your convenience.
Guest access: The whole house is available for guests.
Other things to note: Thank-you for picking up after your furry friend.

Our stay was perfect! The cabin was clean and had all we needed! We loved that there were lots of blankets to cuddle up with!!! Thanks for a great night!!
We had 3 adult couples stay at the cabin and we all enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the large central room with fireplace and having large bedrooms. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Would stay there again.
House was in a great location for our plans while in the area. Beds were comfortable. House was clean. Everything we needed was available. Living room furniture was comfortable. Communications with Michelle were excellent. Instructions for checkout were simple.
Great place for a girls weekend away! Plenty of room, lots of little thoughtful touches throughout the house and very welcoming host. I’m envious of the number of closets there are. Every room had extra bedding, blankets and pillows available. If we’re ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again!

Im glad you had a nice visit and for taking care of the place. Thanks for staying!
This was our second year at this property, and we are already looking at dates for 2027. It is home away from home. Our host does a great job thinking of what might be needed by her guests, that there is little need for extra trips into town.Our group enjoys all the space, from individual bedrooms for a place to wind down at the end of the day to the open living/dining area with the fireplace. It is comfy and cozy, great for long chats, playing games, or introducing each other to our favorite shows with watch parties every day.Set in a quiet, scenic area, the view over the water is spectacular, great for sunrises and sunsets. The loudest thing we heard we the local turkeys passing through or the water fowl flying overhead. This place is everything we needed and more. We hope to make this an annual trip for years to come.

Sandy, so great to hear. I loved that you heard the local turkeys passing through and water fowl flying overheard. I enjoy that so much myself. Thanks for staying and I would love to host you again next year. Take care!
From the moment we inquired about this property the communication has been prompt, clear and very accommodating. The property listing is accurate and worked well for our family of 9 adults. Kitchen is well equipped although a small space. While the cabin is older it is very quaint and extremely clean! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating Thanksgiving with family. The only downfall to our stay was we didn't stay for longer!

Stephy and her group were great. I enjoyed hosting them and would love to host them again. Took care of my cabin like it was theirs. So happy to hear that they enjoyed the place and made some nice memories. :)
We had a great time. The bedeooms were of ample space and the large dining table was great for mealtimes. The kitchen is very small, but we were able to make it work.
