Big Elk Lodge review
Beautiful! This house is amazing! We stayed with 10 people and there was more than enough room. And what a location! Right on the banks of Clear Lake. Made it perfect for some pontoon trips and tubing enjoyment.

Elk Lodge Aug 2022
we stayed at this property with a group of 9. Great house and great location. Home was clean and exactly as pictured. There are approximately 35(ish) stairs to the lake - but the walkway is landscaped nicely so it isn't too steep. Would be nice to have window coverings in the upstairs bedrooms for privacy and keeping the sun out. Tandem bike that was advertised was unavailable. Great response from maintenance team when calling for garbage removal and supplies. Plenty of eagles and loons to watch on the lake. Great property.
