Top Elkwater Hotel Reviews

Elkwater Lake Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our room at the Lodge was spacious, clean and comfortable. We appreciated the king size bed and the rustic furniture. Was nice to be able to make coffee and sit on the balcony’s"

Cozy cabin in charming Cypress Hills with WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"I haven’t the words, but everything that was promised was delivered and then some! The cabin, the property, the view all were as advertised. Check-in and directions were flawless. All the was expected and delivered to perfection. BBQ, firepit, hammock, outdoor seating all made our outdoor time very comfortable while taking in the view. Inside was excellent!! Welcome treat basket, kitchen needs, the bed (super comfortable), everything all met expectations. Central air was amazing and needed during our stay! Very thankful for that! We wanted a secluded retreat, and that is exactly what we got. The “neighbours” only really checked in on us one afternoon/evening during our stay. Our new bovine friends then strolled off into the sunset. The 5minute drive into Elkwater was windy and relaxed. The town is very well kept and we enjoyed morning walks and time at the beach. Highly recommend this property and will use it as the standard all future bookings will be measured. Well done and thank you very much for having us!! Cheers!"

Secluded Peaceful Guesthouse ~ Spectacular Dark Sky

8/10 Good

"A spotless cabin, peaceful scenery, cozy homey feel, warm, pet-friendly, and spacous for 11 photographers. Great spot for astro photography as we caught the Milky Way and lots of stars away from light pollution. A welcoming home. Tara, the host seemed to take good care and put lots of thought into building the ambience of the home. A little late in providing check-in instructions which was provided the day before but that may be due to Vrbo's app glitching. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot! :)"
