    The new ownership has transformed this remote mountain getaway into something special, with guests raving about the welcoming staff and extensive renovations to the lodge. The real star is the brand new snowcat that not only transports visitors from the snow park but also grooms the road regularly, making winter access far more pleasant for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. Staff members like Buffalo and Mark get frequent shoutouts for going above and beyond, with one even returning forgotten skis to Bend. The food consistently impresses, from BBQ wings to elk burgers to special holiday dinners, all served in a cozy, fireplace-warmed atmosphere. Winter visitors are having exceptional experiences, whether taking the scenic 90-minute snowcat ride for a day trip or staying in lakeside cabins with stunning views of Bachelor, Broken Top, and South Sister. The property offers plenty of activities including snowmobile rentals, groomed trails, and a peaceful backcountry vibe without the stress. There are a few reports of maintenance issues in unrenovated cabins from the transition period, but most guests find even the older cabins comfortable and cozy. Cell service and internet work surprisingly well for such a remote location, and the entire operation feels professionally run with attentive communication.

    An absolutely epic 3-day vacation at Elk Lake Resort. We were there with a group of friends celebrating a milestone birthday. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is super friendly and helpful. They really made our stay perfect. We spent lots of time on the lake with paddle boards and a pontoon boat rental too. We rented a few cabins. The accommodations were great. Super clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this resort for a fun and secluded getaway. We will definitely come back again.
