Elk Mountain Getaway

Family and friends Elk Mountain getaway. Cabin is very nicely situated on the large property. Cabin was very cozy and warm. The wood stove is a great touch. Kitchen was well stocked with cook and dinner ware. Everything met our needs and was to our liking. We would definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful getaway in the woods

This cabin was just what we were looking for! Beautiful views, lots and LOTS of space to run around, easy access to trails and so peaceful. We took the advice of the guide and visited Chet’s Place for dinner and visited the nearby lake. Both were great. My family and I had the most wonderful time and would love to return! 10/10 - would recommend!

Great experience

The cabin was clean and cozy. The woodstove heats the entire house and there is plenty of wood in the garage. Unfortunately, there was no snow on the ground. The hike out the back of the property found the D and H trail as we had thought about bringing our snowmobiles to the area. Glad we didn't. Although getting from the cabin to the D and H trail would have proved a task as numerous trees blocked the path. Probably would have used the roadway. We enjoyed the fire pit and the closeness to Elk Mountain. A seven-minute ride and during the week, no crowds. We took my 3 year old grandson on his first ski trail and he loved it. That made it all worth it. Highly recommend for a small family (we were 4 adults, 2 small children).

Very relaxing

We had a very relaxing trip. The only down fall was that we could not cook out on the grill. There was a birds nest in the grill and the weather was raining. It was a great to see all the wildlife right from the house and having games to play made my kids day.

Cozy and quiet stay

My husband and I spent a long weekend here to get some fresh air and quiet time and it hit spot! The cabin was clean and cozy, we had excellent bird and deer watching out the windows, and the access to the trail made for a great long walk to Union Dale. Property was exactly as expected and the owners were responsive and helpful. Would stay again!

This property truly has everything you need and more! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with all the essentials. The fireplace was such a great charm—it added warmth and character to our evenings, making it the perfect spot to relax after a day of skiing.The check-in process was smooth, and the property manager was friendly and responsive. The online listing was accurate, but the actual experience far surpassed our expectations.The location is ideal—peaceful and private, yet close to Elk Mountain Ski Resort and other attractions.

Cabin near Elk Man &Union Dale

Comfortable, clean cabin overlooking nice yard on 20 acres. We were looking for a quiet place near a bike trail that had room for us to wander with our dog off leash. The home is well-maintained, clean and very quiet. We stayed in the fall and used the home as a base explore the area. It is a rural, quiet area with limited shopping, restaurants, etc. Beautiful roads and trails to use for viewing fall foliage. There is an excellent grocery store within 10 mi drive. It is a terrific spot for anyone interested in biking the D & H Trail. We had a very nice stay, and would recommend the property to others.

Great Place for a Ski Weekend

This was my family’s second stay here and we’ve been happy each time. You can’t beat the cabin vibes with the great wood burning stove and the all wood interior. About 10 minutes from Elk. Restaurants in the area are decent, but don’t expect fancy. You’re in the mountains. Jia is incredibly responsive and a great host. We’re looking forward to next year already!

Visited family in area for Thanksgiving and hunting!!

The cabin was perfectly described! We were pleased with plenty of dry firewood and a small cozy woodstove! The kitchen was well stocked with the basics! Dishwasher worked great! Spacious area outside for our 4 year old to run around in! The stairs to the upper level were very steep but we knew about them before we rented! We have stayed at different homes each time we visit and this cabin was one of my favorites!!

Exactly as Advertised.

Nice place to stay very close to Elk Mountain. There are some decent bar/restaurants within 10-15 minute drives. Locals were super friendly. The house is well stocked with necessities, especially the kitchen. After a long day on the mountain, the warm fire will have you sound asleep in no time. The driveway and entryways can get pretty muddy during the day when the ground thaws a bit. It’s to be expected for a mountain house but don’t want anyone pulling in and messing up their fancy shoes. Host were very responsive by chat. We would definitely stay again.
