About this property

Cozy Lakefront Getaway

This cozy lakefront cottage is sure to make you feel worlds away from it all. It is such an cozy, intimate escape to relax on the front dock, taking in the beautiful view of the lake, or just lounging in front of the fireplace. Disconnect, go fishing, grill up some dinner, go for a round of golf, cuddle up by the fire pit. There's a spectacular view of Lewis Lake at sunrise, can't miss it!

Or if you prefer a little more excitement, the ski slopes are just minutes away.

JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM ELK MOUNTAIN

All appliances are new - as well as pots, pans, utensils, sheets and deluxe linens, comforters, and plush pillows. Plus plenty of board games!

Great for both Summer and Winter rentals.

In the summer, we provide canoe, kayaks, paddle boat (& life vests) for the entire family. There's also badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, bean bag toss, and other yard games for all ages.

Please note: During the winter months, a 4x4 vehicle is STRONGLY SUGGESTED due to mountainous region.

Great for families

This cute lake house was perfect for our family of three and dog. Great fishing off the dock and in the lake via canoe. Amenities were plentiful and we especially enjoyed paddle board, washer/drier, yard & games, hot tub, and fire pit. Kitchen had ample supplies for cooking & dining. Decor was quaint and beds were very comfortable. We’d definitely come back!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage during our snowboarding trip to Elk Mountain. The house was spotless and incredibly inviting, with a great wood stove that made the entire space feel extra warm and comforting after long days on the slopes. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of blankets to keep us cozy—even with wind chills dropping to -5 outside.The hot tub was a great added bonus (even though we didn’t get a chance to use it), and having a slow cooker available was such a thoughtful touch. We loved being able to come back from a cold day on the mountain to a warm, ready-made dinner. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools and utensils we needed to cook comfortably. Just be sure to bring your own spices, as stores are a bit of a drive if you forget something.Overall, this cottage was the perfect home base for a winter getaway—clean, cozy, well-equipped, and clearly cared for. We’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing mountain escape.

Quaint Lake Front Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage and are considering making it an annual tradition. The cottage had all the amenities we needed to have an enjoyable stay even including outdoor activities. The location was also quite private.

Family Fun Ski Weekend

We had a great time over the MLK Weekend for skiing at nearby Elk Mountain. It is a small cozy cabin on the lake. Best if you have an all-wheel or 4-wheel vehicle to get to the cabin from the access road.

Beautiful Lake Front

My family and I had an amazing vacation at Clark Cottage. We enjoyed sitting on the porch for breakfast and dinner everyday. There were so many fun water toys for us and our 9 and 11 year old. The house had everything we could possibly need for a week long stay. It was secluded and beautiful which was just what we needed.
