Wonderful

We had a family reunion with my entire family. It was amazing, there was plenty of room for all 32 of us. The place was clean and the kids loved the hot tub and the play area. I would really recommend this place.
Great property, just as advertised. Plenty of sleeping spaces for our family reunion. Views were awesome. Five minutes from Garden City. Check in process and communication were easy. Used the hot tub, bounce house, movie theater, billiards, pickleball and more.
Check in was simple, even for me, a 74 year old woman. The kitchen was large with any appliance that one would need. One of our favorite features of the property was the large dining area with room for all of us to sit down to eat. Thanks for that! There were a couple of small things we notified the property manager about on our arrival that were addressed immediately. Pleasant, easy place for our kids and grandkids to enjoy a few days. Thank you!

Great house, great location
This house comfortably fit all 35 of us! The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, etc., and the ac worked great. We loved that could cast your phone to some of the tvs too. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and we would love to come back someday.
We had a large group and felt this property was perfect because small groups could spread out throughout the house. Lots of bathrooms and bedrooms, great location, easy check in and check out process.

Great Reunion House
We loved having our family reunion at Elks Ridge Retreat! There were 26 of us there and we all had our own space, which was so nice! The kids were constantly entertained...especially with the bounce house and basketball court! The views of the lake were stunning! We would stay here again.
Great property in a beautiful location. We had 31 of us, ages 6 mon to 75, and felt like there was a good amount of room and great things to do. We would come back.
We loved our stay here. We held a family reunion that was just under the max occupancy and the house worked perfect for us. The children and teens loved it and there were plenty of rooms and bathrooms for the adults. Everything worked well and was better than described.

Awesome Place for Family Reunion
Plenty of open space for family to gather and still have private bedrooms. Love the covered deck, abundance of parking space, tetherball and pickleball court! Home is clean and well supplied with towels, linens and kitchen needs. Downstairs fridge and kitchenette are a bonus!

Great escape and perfect for a large family.
This was a great escape for us. Everything was clean and well organized. Theater was super fun and the inflatable bounce toy was a huge crowd pleaser for the kids. We will definitely book this venue again in the future.
