Babymoon/Birthday getaway at First Monday

Jennifer and Jason go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. The pictures, though wonderfully staged, don’t do it justice. It is a beautiful little property with all the amenities one could want. And the breakfast was amazing! Such a sweet family and sweet place to stay for any type of getaway in Canton. Definitely recommend and will be back!

Wonderful Place

We enjoyed our stay at Elken Retreat. Our room was so cute with lots of added touches. All the rooms surround a beautiful swimming pool and the grounds are beautiful. It’s very close to Canton Trades Day which was a definite plus. They also provide breakfast on the weekends and that was fabulous! The hosts are so friendly and helpful. We have definitely found a keeper!!

Excellent Getaway

My husband and I had an out of country vacation planned for his birthday that had to be cancelled due to Covid. We decided to search for a place not far from home where we could spend a few days stay-cation and boy did we hit the jackpot! Jason & Jennifer made us feel like family during our stay and this place has truly thought of everything!! I’m already planning a return for a girls weekend.

Best B&B in Canton TX

This B&B was by far the best I have ever stayed at. Jennifer and Jason were amazing and so kind! They literally had everything you could possibly need in each room. The room was very clean and super comfortable. They have a beautiful pool right outside you can enjoy and also a fire pit to cook s’mores! Jason cooks a delicious breakfast every morning. I will definitely stay here again! Thank you Jennifer and Jason for everything see y’all soon! ❤️❤️

Lovely owners and beautiful place

Jason and Jennifer are amazing hosts! They are so welcoming and thought of everything. The little details made our stay extra special. We felt like we were at a friend's house during our stay. The suite was so cute and comfortable. It had a huge shower and the king sized bed gave us a wonderful night's sleep. The pool was gorgeous and we enjoyed being able to come back from a long day of shopping to relax in the pool. Breakfast was amazing both mornings and we enjoyed visiting with Jason and Jennifer as well as other guests during this time. We will definitely book again and again!
