Family Time
The lodge was great. The trip was part of my Christmas gift to my family so we could be together after a great family loss. It was peaceful, yet there was lots to do for the adults and kids, along with lots of laughter. Our hosts couldn't have been more accommodating and we will likely visit again. Highly recommend!

Christmas Stay
This lodge is perfect for a large group. We had 15 of various ages. Everyone loved it. It’s close to French Lick as the crow flies, takes about 20 minutes to get in town because of the roads, but worth the drive! The owners are very attentive should you have any questions or concerns.

Great place to stay as part of a French Lick golf outing
The 12 beds worked great for our group of 12 golfers. The kitchen also worked great for feeding the crew. The seven beds in the basement worked fine but a few too many snorers in the same space could benefit from sound barriers (walls). Overall we had a great stay and a few of us played on the par 3 and played some ping pong. If you have an event that requires timing 12 showers all close together, be wary of potential low water pressure. Owners were very responsive and great to work with. We would definitely come back.

Beautiful Luxury Cabin with Lots of Privacy
The cabin was very large, updated, clean & nicely appointed with all the amenities you'd need. There is a lot of common space to spread out and plenty of sleeping quarters. It's in a very private wooded area with deer roaming the property. A perfect place for a family vacation. Owners were exceedingly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend this property!

Family fun in the woods
We had so much fun as a family! The boys got to golf while the ladies got to visit local wineries. We got to sit around the kitchen table and play games. It was a great spot for a large family like ours!

Loved the deer
Unfortunately the property was fenced off during our stay due to raising deer. It was nice seeing the deer but didn’t allow use of the back yard. The out building was disappointing because there were no lights or air conditioning. The house was rustic and appropriately decorated. It was perfect size for our family. Plenty of room for everyone. Just a word of advice about the stairs leading up to the upstairs bedrooms. My 26 year old granddaughter slipped coming down and bruised her hip and arm. My grandson was bitten by a spider (we don’t know if it was on porch or in house) and had to be treated with antibiotics when we got home.

Wonderful Stay
We had a large group come for a weekend to Elk Ridge. The lodge is very nice. Plenty of different comfortable sleeping areas and a great stocked kitchen. It is very remote, tucked in the woods with plenty of privacy. Large wrap around decks with nice views. The owners are FANTASTIC! Very helpful/prompt with any issues that may arise. Two things future guests should know that are out of control of the owners - The outside is buggy. It is part of a farm so if you are not use to it bring repellant. The driveway is gravel and steep. Our vehicles did not have problems but it is a little tricky. Overall, a Wonderful Stay!

70th Birthday with kids and Grandkids
The house was what I expected from the listing. I wanted somewhere that I could take my kids and grandkids where we could all be together. Lots to do to keep everyone busy. The owners raise deer on the property and it was special to see them roaming near the house at feeding time.
