5/5 Stayed Aug 2018

We were SO impressed by Elkhorn Lodge! The beauty of the home is breathtaking with designer-level decor that simply can't translate in the photos. We had a group of 10 adults staying for three nights and everyone in the party kept talking about how much they loved the home, property and gorgeous neighborhood. First of all, there is a quiet, private beach a block away from the property. The house is immaculately clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The home affords ample private space even with a house teaming with people. The kitchen is amply stocked, including pots & pans, cutting boards and spices. There were plenty of bathroom towels in the home and beds were cozy and comfortable.
A few tips for incoming travelers: bring extra toilet paper as the home supplies some but not a lot, bring beach towels as there are only bathroom towels, there are three beach chairs so bring more if needed, a couple of the bedrooms are bright in the morning, the backyard is not very private with neighbors all around, but we just stayed inside after 9PM with our large group as to not disturb the peace, and keep in mind that the private beach is very quiet & family oriented.
I wouldn't generally recommend the home for a Bachelor/Bachelorette/party group unless you have a group of mature adults that can respect the limits like staying inside after 9/10pm, or going to Zephyr Cove instead of the private beach. It is not a party-house unless you can stay on top of keeping windows and doors closed after dark. We can be very loud and did not want to disrespect the neighborhood so we closed windows and doors after dark, even though it got hot inside (p.s. the house could use more fans).
If you can be respectful of this gorgeous home & neighborhood, I cannot recommend it enough! The management team was kind, timely in their responses, and friendly when we dropped by for the door code! What a great experience overall!!
