Quick getaway with friends

Everything was perfect. Especially the the king bed. We used the Kayaks, the grill, the fire pit ( which was restocked the next day) the redneck game, and the bar across the "lane". The lake and bar are sooo close. Which was great!

Cute cozy cabin!

This is a sweet little cabin right on Elk Lake! We stayed for 5 nights after Thanksgiving and it was the perfect spot to relax, visit relatives, read, work on puzzles and watch our favorite shows at night! My husband hunted during the day! We had everything we needed including washer and dryer!! The bed was super comfy! Hosts were especially friendly and helpful!

My husband and I came here for our 12th wedding anniversary. The hosts were very accommodating. The place was amazing.The house was very clean. We loved the proximity to the water and the bar. The surrounding neighbors were very nice. It is a great atmosphere and worth the stay. We will definitely be back.

Relaxing Yet Active Weekend

We had a great time at the Lily Pad! Perfect location with great kayaking, fire pit (the stone pile helped block the wind a little!), yard games and Jake's Tavern. The unit had the perfect table for games, comfortable beds, and cable to watch the Phil's lose the world series (only negative of our stay). We will be back again!

About right for the price

The rental was good enough for a place to stay for the night. It's a bit like a motel with bedrooms. But it was very clean. There is a bar next door that has very loud trucks coming and going until very late.

Can’t wait to return! Had a great stay. Place was super clean and comfortable. Great location. Parking right in front. Had everything we needed. There are other rentals in the house but never saw other guests nor heard them. We had a completely private entrance. The lake is beautiful. Great view of lake from the living room. Hosts were very responsive. Can’t wait to return!!! Highly recommend.

Thanksgiving getaway

Place was cute. Very clean and has everything you need. Location is nice. Lake is walking distance. Very pretty. Kept losing power all night and morning. Then it snowed so we had to leave a day early to avoid getting stuck. Drove 3 hrs and only stayed 16 hrs total. Not a good trip. It would have been nice if we got a partial credit. Pete and Maida

Even better than expected!

We had a very relaxing and easy stay in the cottage. The unit was clean and larger than it looks in the photos - it very comfortably fit four adults. We are very familiar with Elk Lake and were a little worried that there would be late-night noise coming over from Jake's Tavern next door, but we had no issues (even on a holiday weekend!). Having access to the kayaks was a huge bonus. Would certainly stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Walko

Host profile image
Jon and Beth have been together for over 15 years, were married in 2011 and love the Lake Life they have created together. They travel as often as possible but in all the many places they have visited around the world, Elk Lake remains their favorite.

Beth grew up coming to Elk Lake visiting her grandparents, many cousins and friends. Once she brought Jon to visit too he instantly fell in love with this welcoming, quaint, beautiful, private spot to enjoy all four seasons.

They try to make their guests as comfortable as possible with all the amenities to feel like home. They are quick to respond, have many places they love to recommend to their guests that they enjoy visiting as well and really appreciate any feedback people give them to improve their current and future stays.

When they named the Lily Pad unit it was special to them because of the many kayaks and canoe rides they have taken around the lake together enjoying the coves with spectacular views and wild life, especially the Lily pad flowers that you will find pictures of above each bed along with other touches throughout your unit!

Beth and Jon are down to earth, positive and grateful people that just appreciate all the many adventures they have had and continue to have. They are so happy they get to share this amazing Lake with people near and far!

Why they chose this property

Our family has lived on and enjoyed Elk Lake and this community for many generations. There is no other lake we have found that feels as magical as this one!

What makes this property unique

Private lake, deck, dock as well as kayaks, a canoe, outdoor and indoor activities provided! Also a short stroll to a Tavern with food, drink, good company and music!
