About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This lakefront cottage is an ideal getaway for a family!

You may also catch a glimpse or our resident bald eagle, blue herons or beavers! The lake is small (46 acres) so no motor boats are allowed, keeping it nice and quiet. Fishermen tout the wide-mouth bass, perch, pickerel, grouper and more. There are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors--swim from the float, lounge on the shore or enjoy the fire pit at night.

• All told, the cottage can hold up to 4 adults comfortably with 2 extra mattresses for children. There is an additional pull-out sofa as well. See cottage diagram image for more info.
• There is a private dock and rowboat for your use only. A raft for swimming is shared with the owner cottage next door.
• Playset with swings, slide and climbing equipment.
• Two bedrooms: Bedroom 1 has a full-sized bed; Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed.
• This is a humble cottage, the furnishings are worn but clean. Kitchen has plenty of cooking supplies, T.V. has basic cable. GUESTS MUST BRING SHEETS AND TOWELS. We provide blankets and pillows.
• Additional sleeping is in a loft over the great room. The sleeping loft has two regular twin-sized mattresses plus two additional sleeping mats. The loft ceiling is low so it is best suited for children. It is accessed via pull-down attic stairs.
• The cottage is at the end of a dead-end, dirt road. There is a farm across the lake. This is a rural area, nearest grocery store is 9 miles away.
• Propane grill.
• Outdoor games (like volley ball net and corn hole).

Great stay
I did a solo trip (+pup) to reset after a particularly rough work season. The cabin was lovely, rustic worn furniture but cozy and comfortable. The house was packed with the essentials including fire wood. There was a smart tv mounted in the living room and the water pressure was perfect in the shower. They did have a deep tub that would have been perfect for a bath, but due to the water pump cost, it felt wrong to waste the water. The host communicated clearly all the tricks and tips for the stay. I highly recommend this location for a quiet or family stay!

Always a great time
This visit makes the 4th or 5th time we’ve stayed here. Never disappoints. Went exploring the woods, visit to Robas Farm for pumpkins, lounged around and relaxed while taking in the extraordinary view of the changing colors. Can’t wait for our next stay.

Comfortable well-loved lake cottage retreat
Our family had a wonderful time kayaking, and jumping off the floating dock in the small, peaceful lake. Our kids also enjoyed the play set in the yard where they sang at the top of their lungs on the swings. Unfortunately, we had quite a bit of rain, and were not able to use the fire pit, but I’m sure that would have been fun as well. The designated sleeping areas are private enough to accommodate quite a large group. The dinghy was out of commission, so the owners provided their canoe for us to use. Most of the appliances worked well, but we did have a problem with the washing machine, but the owners were very responsive, and immediately came to see if they could rectify the situation. Overall, we had a very nice family getaway.

Cozy and Unpretentious
My friend and I had a wonderfully relaxing long weekend getaway here. The cottage is comfortable and has great views of the lake from both indoor and outdoor spaces. The owners thoughtfully provided a canoe for our use and a notebook filled with helpful information about local attractions.

Another great visit
Our visit to Little Elk Lake was, once again, stellar. The home is quaint and cozy. Had fun in the lake and on the dock and exploring the woods around us. Can't wait till our next visit!

Nice cabin
This was a nice cabin. It was nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. The only drawback was there was only one window unit in one bedroom. Fortunately, the nights were cool so we really didn't need AC. The lake view was pretty, there was lots of space to move around inside and outside.

Nice and cozy lakefront cabin
This cabin is very relaxing and comfortable. I recommend bringing binoculars so you can view the Bald Eagles perching on a tree across the lake. Great place to stay for a weekend!

Relaxing
The property is surrounded by nature and wildlife, including eagles who had their nest high up in the tree across the lake. Every time I went by with the boat, I heard the eaglets cry, when dad delivered food to the nest:) I absolutely loved being out on the lake fishing, and listening to nature and seeing abundant wildlife! I appreciated having the small boat, that comes with the house. The only thing I would recommend, is getting a second battery for the boat motor as a back up. I went out on the lake every morning and evening. I charged the battery overnight, but it never fully charged. As a result, the battery died when I was out on the lake, and I had to row the boat back, which was no big deal. The house was clean, and I had everything I needed. Thank you for making my stay enjoyable!
