Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

The Sandbar Lodge at Torch Lake

10/10 Excellent

"It is a beautiful resort with incredibly clean, modern rooms. The location is a short walk to the lake set on a gorgeous property, We enjoyed our stay and the staff was wonderful to deal with!"

Cozy Retreat with Elk Lake Access

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful, quiet, charming little cottage with access to Elk Lake. Situated on a quiet road between orchards and the lake. My husband and I brought our boat and put in at Elk Lake and went clear through to Torch Lake. Such a beautiful area!The hosts were wonderful and easy to communicate with. The cottage was clean and the owner thought of everything one might need while staying there.It was the perfect retreat we needed, and we’d go back again!"

Charming Torch Lake 3-bedroom 1 bath one floor Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Great home."

Torch Lake Sandbar Directly Across The Street With Outdoor Dock Slip Unit B

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend. The property is very well-appointed with everything you'd need to cook in and self-entertain! Places like this make it so much easier to pack when you don't need to plan for the "what-ifs." I may actually prefer not being directly on the bigger body of water (with beautiful Torch Lake just across the street) to take advantage of the access to the paddle boards and kayaks. The launch ramp was sweet! We had a great time and topped it off with a very fairly priced pontoon boat rental from the property on Monday and were able to cruise all over Torch Lake. Meagan was very easy to reach and we felt like we were on top of everything throughout the process. We are already planning to return next year and are grateful for our accommodating and considerate guests! Thank you!"
