Great House!

Elk River House is amazing! It is in a beautiful location right on the river. Very spacious and it worked out for all of us. The decor is spot on for the area and that staircase is a work of art! The kitchen and dinner room is spacious and fully equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub and watching the river flow by. JoyceAnn is a great host and communication was flawless. Noticed that we were out of propane for the BBQ the first night and they ran over to make sure we could BBQ our steaks. I highly recommend booking this house! You won't be disappointed.

The pictures do not do this house justice

This house was beautiful and spacious. My husband and I along with my son and my in laws a total of 15 people had plenty of room. The view of the river is amazing. If you meet our little chipmunk friend he likes sunflower seeds, peanuts, and trail mix. You can’t get a squirrel in Texas to trust you like that little chipmunk did. We recommend and would stay here again.

Pictures don’t do this house justice. It’s beautiful inside and out! Plenty of room for our family. Garage is huge and has plenty of space. We used the hot tub each day which was overlooking the river. And it’s only 20 minutes to go ski! Might come back down in the summer to use the back deck and do some fishing. Definitely recommend.

Very relaxing

We have stayed at this property several times and have always enjoyed. This time was no different except that the property definitely needs some maintenance. Dishwasher needs to be mounted, deck needs repair, window shade replaced and window in kitchen repaired. This really did not affect the quality of our stay but at $500+ a night I expect upkeep. I was impressed with new showers and the fire pit. The dog pen was a great addition as well. I also enjoyed the newly planted flower beds. The dog next door was annoying but I understand you have no control over that. Maybe the pooch will be moving because that property is up for sale. House heats up during the day but cools off enough to sleep at night but must keep the windows open. Kitchen was stocked well with utensils and cookware. Overal we really love this property it just needs some tlc on the outside and a few things on the inside. Also could use a good power wash on the outside. The hot tub wired fine but again could use a new cover and some maintenance to the surrounding box thing. We will stay there again.

Stay here if you’re looking for comfort and a feeling of home!

Stayed here through Christmas with my family and couldn’t have been happier. A tree was decorated for us to use as well which was great. We have a big family so sometimes it can be hard to find places that accommodate all of us but this place was perfect. The kids had room to run around and play and the adults had space to relax and let loose. Highly recommend staying here

Not a house for toddlers.. not for us.

The home and scenery are beautiful. However the blinds are broken so you can’t open them to enjoy the view. The home isn’t clean, dust and dirt everywhere. Light bulbs are burnt out. At this time there is building of other houses going on around the home so it’s a little junkie that way. Neighbors are very close with dogs that bark. The heat is terrible to deal with in the winter. It doesn’t stay a constant temperature. You go from being way too hot to way too cold. There is a propane stove, however there isn’t anything to protect and keep a 1 year old from getting burned on it. There aren’t any provisions for babies, no pack and play no gates for the stairs. We’ve stayed at many homes that offer shampoos, soaps etc. We had to buy TP and hand soap for the bathrooms and good thing we brought all our own toiletries because they don’t offer any. The home sleeps 14 but only offers 7 old, dingy, white bath towels. The master shower has excellent hot water but the other bathroom shower is barely even warm. The toilet in the master bathroom runs constantly. We would turn it off at night. We would have rather stayed at a nearby motel.
