Elk Cabin - 2 Bedroom/1 Bath Vacation Rental

Our cozy, fully furnished vacation log homes are a real breath of fresh air from the typical motel chains and are perfect for your next family vacation or that special honeymoon getaway. Real log siding and log railings give Elk Cabin a rustic look. Take advantage of the easy access and close proximity to town.
Elk Cabin sleeps 4 adults comfortably in 2 bedrooms with queen beds; however, with a queen-size sleeper sofa, each can sleep up to 6 adults. A loft above the kitchen and dining area is perfect for kids and has a full-size futon mattress. Our cabins feature rustic furnishings and decor and include all the amenities you need, as well as free wifi. Elk Cabin features a full kitchen with breakfast nook in the dining area, stackable washer and dryer, and satellite TV service. All cabins have benches and fire rings in addition to outdoor grills and rockers on the front porch.

overall good, good location
The cabin was okay. Did not have a closet to hang clothes. Had a loft ladder right in the middle of cabin, so you had to walk around it. It was small even for 2 people.

Children loved the loft
Kind of like a tiny home experience so was perfect for my wife and our 2 Small kids. It poured down rain and it’s super loud when it does but we loved it.
