More about ElKen Retreat....
This space was started as a rental in October of 2018...because it was going well for us and our guests;), we have now expanded. In 2020, we completed a brand new addition to ElKen Retreat.

One bedroom has a Serta icomfort (so comfy) King bed and sofa sleeper. Two bedrooms have 4 twin beds (also comfy Serta icomfort beds with high end bedding!)... All rooms have extra space to add a roll in Serta cot for another person.
