Stayed here during the summer and was surprised how run down it was. The cabin was ok. The problem was with the outdoor area - I love kayaking and we used them but the seats were duct tapped and the vests need to be replaced - had to sit on a towel so I wouldn't stick to the tape on... More

This was a surprisingly memorable and fun little trip for us with our pets (including dogs AND cats). After renovating our old house for a year we found ourselves needing an emergency vacation. If you're here on Tripadvisor, you're experienced and traveled enough to know that a spur-of-the-moment excursion thrown together without research and planning can be awful (unless you... More

The Elms is a wonderful place, and Chandler truly cares about his customers. I have been to the Elms three times now with groups of friends and I have some memories i'll never forget. Thanks Chandler! Best, Corey

A friend and I stayed in one of the one bedroom cabins this August and were kind of blown away by how great the place was. When we arrived, Chandler told us all of the things we needed to know, gave us a complementary bottle of locally made wine, and the keys to our freaking awesome cabin. Rustic, yes, but... More

My family has been having reunions here for over 10 years. Chandler and staff are stars making everything so comfortable. There are activities for every age- from the tots on the playground or beach, to teens playing volleyball, tubing or swimming to "the rock", to the whole family relaxing on a sunset river cruise. My grandmother enjoys us watching us... More

25 of us went to the Elms for a 3 night family reunion and had a fantastic time! We stayed in the Lodge and Bay Harbor Suites and were so comfortable. The river view and water activities were fantastic. There's a great sand bar a little way out - we swam or took kayaks, rowboats and pedal boats to it.... More

Agree with all the favorable reviews of this property. Views were absolutely spectacular - especially the sunsets. Kayaks, row boats & paddle boats are free & available right on the property as well as a patoon boat & jet ski for rental. Ample supply of kayaks so never a problem taking one out whenever you want. Swimming area/beach isn't huge... More

My husband and I are avid Trip Advisor users everytime we plan a trip, and I felt it necessary to write my first review about the Elms Cottages. Do not be misled by other great reviews - this place was TERRIBLE! Where do I begin?? If you want to have a vacation that is a small step above camping, then... More

Overall the property itself is nice with a beautiful lake with paddleboats, row boats and kayaks to take out at no charge and a decent beach area. The owner and staff were very friendly, and I was happy to be able able to bring my dog. My biggest issue with the property is the units themselves need attention, cleaning and... More
