Beautiful! This house is amazing! We stayed with 10 people and there was more than enough room. And what a location! Right on the banks of Clear Lake. Made it perfect for some pontoon trips and tubing enjoyment.
we stayed at this property with a group of 9. Great house and great location. Home was clean and exactly as pictured. There are approximately 35(ish) stairs to the lake - but the walkway is landscaped nicely so it isn't too steep. Would be nice to have window coverings in the upstairs bedrooms for privacy and keeping the sun out. Tandem bike that was advertised was unavailable. Great response from maintenance team when calling for garbage removal and supplies. Plenty of eagles and loons to watch on the lake. Great property.
The dock heights are difficult to tie a boat to. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.
The home was very cozy and clean. Great space, convenient!
Spacious home sitting high up with great view of Clear Lake.
We enjoyed our stay at Big Elk Lodge. The property is clean, comfortable, well maintained and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. We enjoyed having morning coffee and afternoon wine on the deck. There are quite a few steps down to the dock which may be a challenge to some. The dock itself was not the best but certainly usable. The one suggestion that I would have is for the owners to buy some sort of window coverings in the bedrooms. The windows in the master bedroom are very large and without some sort of covering, the light pours in very early in the morning waking us up by 6:30AM. We would have preferred to sleep in a bit while on vacation.
