Top Elk Lake Hotel Reviews

Dexter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great renovated hotel with spacious rooms, friendly staff, cozy lounge … perfect spot to explore surrounding areas and beaches."

The Sandbar Lodge at Torch Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This is a unique and very nice property. They have a ton of extras on property. The rooms are nice but as a small suggestion, some type of counters pace or top in the bathroom would be helpful and there's room. Also a reconfiguring of the shower . It would be great for a large group traveling together with everything they have to offer. The location is also great."

Torch Lake Cabin near launch with boat option

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice house in a secluded area and across street from the Boat launch which was great. Would stay again!! Also great communication with the host."

Torch Lake Sandbar Directly Across the Street With Indoor Boat Slip Unit A

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful home and great location will definitely stay there again. Home is stocked with everything you may need."

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!"
