Weekend at the GELK
Overall we had a great stay at the GELK, had a few little issues that we ran into, but the property team was quick to respond and solve the matter. It's a 3 level home with bedrooms on every level, spacious and allowed for all of us to hang out, cook, and interact.

Perfect Location & Fun House
We had the best time last week staying in this home! It was the perfect location for us. My children (ages nine through 16) loved the pool table and hot tub! The house was very comfortable and functional. We would recommend it to others and stay there again.

Super cute house in a great location
House was perfect for 2 couples and 2 kids. Pool table and bar area made for a fun time when the weather wasn’t perfect. Deer in back yard every night, quiet neighborhood

Very Nice and cozy cabin
Location was great and the cabin was fun. Kids loved the pool table and the warm fireplace. Would stay there again. Only issues were the temperatures in the lower half (master bed/bathroom) that got pretty cold at night - could have used some extra heat/blankets. Also the master bathroom shower was pretty loose and low - I am 6' tall and had to duck to get under the water. All in all a fun trip and good accommodations.

Great location!
Loved the location, the great room with the pool table, and all of the wildlife we encountered during our stay. A few things to note is the paper towels/toilet paper/sponges etc are SUPER cheap so maybe bring your own. Also if you go in the winter know that the bedrooms will be really drafty and cold but they do have extra blankets and space heaters. Overall we enjoyed our stay

Get Away
The House was lovely, and everything was perfect but with our ages being in the 70's the stairs were a challenge, but we managed just fine, and it was so quiet and relaxing. Thanks so much for sharing your home :)

Relaxing weekend
The house was so comfortable for all of my family. We had a great Easter weekend. The wind was so bad we stayed inside but we’re happy. Fully stocked kitchen was so helpful. The only downfall for myself was that I was on crutches and the stairs were hard but booked your house because of the different levels. I loved the animals on the wall, great touch!

Wonderful Place
The cabin was a wonderful place for us to stay we all enjoyed our stay and we were not even too bummed out about staying inside during the rainy days. We had problems with the AC when we first arrived however, it was taken care of immediately with no troubles. Also the property manager was very nice and stayed in touch with us until the Air was fixed.

Home was very spacious and clean. My son loved the pool table. We weren’t able to use the hot tub because of schedule. Maybe next time I book we will take advantage of the hot tub.

Gelk
The home was just as pictured. It was very clean and well stocked. The property manager left us a small gift upon arrival even with something for our pets. The communication was very easy. We had a great time. We would definitely book the Gelk again. It was very spacious for our family of 7.

This property was exactly as it looked on-line. Beautiful home with lots of stairs. If you're unable to climb stairs this is not the home for you. But if you're looking for comfort and fun you definitely will enjoy the Grand Elk. The kitchen had everything we needed plus. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and nice towels. Will stay again! Thanks to the owners and the cleaning staff.

Lots of room to spread out!
Our family loved staying here. The amenities were a great addition. We all enjoyed the pool table and hot tub and the vintage vhs player with a great selection of movies! Wow! The only things I think we would recommend is adding curtains or blinds to the front and side window. We love the view but felt like everyone could see in. Also, I am not sure if the front door ever locked. My husband is a carpenter and said that the receiving door was not bored out at all to receive the lock. He has been installing doors for over 35 years... Other than that it was a great place to stay and we would defiantly stay again! Thank you!
