Our stay at this cabin was nothing short of spectacular. The cabin itself was excellent, featuring a fantastic game room that added a fun element to our getaway. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The beautiful pond on the property added to the serene atmosphere. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with top-notch amenities, this cabin is a hidden gem in Elijah!"
We enjoyed this very beautiful, spacious home in the mountains. It’s in a private gated community. There is a well stocked pond with a coat and kayak. The beds are comfortable, and there is plenty of room for a large family. The owners are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The game room occupied our grandson all week.
I just want to say that we had the best time.The drive in was easy. Compared to some mountain driveway, this was really easy to get in and out of.The weather cooperated during daylight hours so we were able to fish and kayak on the property.There are loads of surprising and welcome amenities for your entertainment, and every space is larger than it looked in the picture The dens and game room as well as the upstairs loft were enjoyed by all.The pond is GORGEOUS.The place was clean and comfortable and could easily sleep every person on your guest list. We had the best time cooking and eating, but when we had any issues,, the hosts helped us immediately. They bent over backwards to make our stay as great as it could have been.For a unique water property with excellent amenities, this one is a gem
This lake house is beautiful! Very well stocked with all of the basic needs. Our family had so much fun fishing the pond, playing in the awesome game room, and just hanging out in the house. Megan was amazing to communicate with (even with all of pre-trip questions). There was a bit of a water pressure issue on the lower level (even when no other water was running), but not that big of a deal. The inside of the house is quite loud. Made it a bit of a challenge for the 1 year olds nap and bed time. Just something for people with littles to keep in mind. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation, and if Megan and Kevin will have us, we’ll be back!
Intimate Family and Friends Wedding at Chata Lodge
Gorgeous cabin on a beautiful lot with a pond, surrounded by nature. This cabin sold itself to my family the first time we saw it, from the large fish in the pond, to the deer walking along the tree line and the butterflies floating above the lawn. The serenity of the setting was just perfect.
The cabin itself it lovely, it was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Every bedroom is roomy with quality mattresses and bedding. The porches are wide and have wonderful rocking chairs to relax in and take in that wonderful view.
7 of us stayed at the cabin to prep and then host a small (23 people) wedding and reception. We could not have asked for a better venue for an intimate cottage core wedding. The weather was perfect, the view outstanding and the great room and kitchen easily accommodated the small reception and the cost for value was exceptional.
And after the guests left, the hottub soaked away our sore muscles.
I also must note the owners were outstanding too, they went above and beyond in their support. From letting us see the house before we rented to prepping the side yard before the event, making sure we had extra propane for the grill and walking us through any questions we had and checking in to make sure all was going well.
Chata Lodge was the perfect place to give this young couple the perfect start to their future and we cannot thank you enough.
