Large Luxury Elk Lake Home with Sand Volleyball Court

Pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful place. All you basically is there.

Our vacation this year was one that had been in the works for over three years. Finally my siblings and all of their families were going to meet and spend time to relax and just catch up. Bringing such a large group of people together can be a daunting task. But as soon as we stepped into this incredible home, everything just fell into place and I felt like a kid again hanging out with my brother and sister. It was a magical place because all of our young kids put their electronics away and were outside swimming off the docks, playing volleyball, and sitting around the fire and telling stories...just like I used to do as a kid before the age of the smart phone. Not once did my young kids ask to play a video game, or watch Netflix...it was amazing. It was an incredible experience to share with my children and it was a comfortable one staying at such a beautiful and charming home. EVERYTHING we could possibly have wanted was right at our fingertips. We had one rainy night, but we stayed up and played scrabble and a few other board games. It was just perfect. The lake is gorgeous and peaceful. It was an amazing trip and was the spiritual and mental refresh I needed. Jennifer is an excellent hostess and she always was available for any questions I had. We will definitely be heading back this way again next year!

AMAZING!

Outside: Crystal clear water, clean sand, more than enough high quality outdoor seating(Pictures don't show!), fire pit, free wood for the fire pit(Pictures don't show!), boat dock (rented a fast boat for 5 hours for $160) , SAND VOLLEYBALL COURT (with rakes!), Grill WITH propane in it (HIGH QUALITY), and prob 50 other things that I have forgotten about.

Inside: Each room has a "theme", making the entire place very cozy and comfortable. There was more than enough sleeping space for everyone (~ 20 people), beds were comfortable. The kitchens (2) were SUPER STOCKED with everything you could possible need (sans a can opener? hahaha), with really high quality appliances that I've never seen at a rental property before! On top of that, they had nice big LCD TV's, multiple "living rooms" (We only used the top floor), and an amazing outdoor patio connected to it all.

Complaints: Your pictures DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE! You have all this amazing outdoor furniture that I'm sure you spent a few grand on and you don't even show it! Even inside is more "updated" and nice than what you see in some of the pictures! The pictures on here and on the website really don't show 50% of what you are getting with the house, so at least it was a great surprise!

The only real thing I would change is the outdoor steps that go from the patio to the ground floor are a rather dark area at night. Some sort of lighting on the stairs would be a good safety call in my eyes.

While we have been doing a winter guy's trip for years, I think we have found the place where we will be starting our annual Summer Guy's trip!

Thank you again Jennifer for letting us stay here. You were a great host (She kept in contact with me over the stay period multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed, and never bugged us while we were there.

A+ , will be coming back!
