The Elkhart Aframe is an ideal location for the adventure seeker who wants a unique and private experience that is still close to all the action. The home sits on a wooded three-acre private retreat only a mile from the village of Elkhart Lake, Road America, and Golf Courses. This unique cabin was built in the 1970's but has been recently renovated with a fun Scandinavian modern flair. It has all the amenities for a memorable vacation stay that provides plenty of epic photo opportunities.

INDOOR LIVING
Cozy cabin with aframe ceiling and spiral staircase separating the upper and lower levels. The master bedroom with a comfortable queen size bed and large closet is located upstrairs, along with a separate TV loft, that contains a fold down sleeper sofa. The kitchen, full bathroom (shower), living room, (twin) bedroom, and small eating nook are located downstairs. A large wrap-around deck with hip patio furniture and annual planters and large fire pit area greatly expands the living area in the summer. Professional landscaping and rain gardens are continuously evolving around the property as well. Good WiFi is available throughout the house/deck and you can sign into Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming service accounts through the large high-definition smart TV. We even decided to keep the ATT cable subscription going for you. The space is best suited for two or three adults, with a max occupancy of five individuals.

KITCHEN SETUP
Fully stocked with cooking necessities, full size refrigerator, microwave, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, blender and cooktop/oven. Clean-up is easy with the built-in dishwasher; detergent is provided.

GENERAL
One large bathroom with towels, washcloths, shampoo, soap and hairdryer provided. A laundry room on the lower level has a full sized washer and dryer. Some books and board games also provided.

HEATING/COOLING
Our guests will be pleased to learn that we just had two split air heating/cooling units installed in the Elkhart Aframe. One in the master bedroom and one in the kitchen so this should make mid-summer stays more enjoyable for you! While the split air units also work for heating when temperatures are above freezing, we also have the electric baseboard heating and portable fans throughout.

PARKING
Driveway (5 vehicles). Note that the driveway is wooded and a bit windy, making it difficult to get large RVs/trailers in.

OUTDOOR AREAS
Surrounded by trees on all sides providing privacy, there is a large deck, spacious yard, and fire pit to enjoy in the summer months.

ROAD AMERICA NOISE
While the location feels very secluded, our proximity to Road America does mean that the buzz of the engines racing around the track can be heard from the Aframe when races are occurring (usually summer weekends). If that's a concern to you, you may want to check the Road America schedule and book during a time without races. On the other hand, we've been told by race fans who book the place that they loved the sound and the fact that they were so close to the action.
