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.

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!

Relaxing by the Lake

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking to relax and have a low-key vacation. There are opportunities for hiking, shopping, and other activities all within a short drive or you can simply swim, canoe, or kayak right at the lake. The hosts are amazing and the property is clean and well maintained. We have stayed here several times and will be coming back 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!
