Testimonials

I live at the lake part time and have been going to Elkins since I was born. The service, food and boating facilities are superior. I have had a wedding there, seen three generations of families there and never have a bad experience there. I knew the Elkins and the current owners are carrying on the legacy of the resort in a very high class fashion. It is beautiful and rustic on the outside but full service and professional in every other sense.

We just had our son’s wedding at Elkins, and I was quite concerned about the remote location and rustic cabins in winter. Guests arrived from all over the country and found Elkins to be a special experience. Cabins were well stocked, clean and comfortable. Since guests stayed two nights, people were able to get excellent breakfast each day, snowshoe/tour area, or just hang out in their cabin with a warm fire in the fireplace enjoying their own food and drink. Wedding was beautiful, with couple married outside by the lake and mountains as their backdrop. Restaurant was closed for our private event, reception dinner was delicious and we danced and partied the night away! Guests told us it was one of their favorite weddings. Thanks Elkins for a great time! 5/5

Gorgeous wedding location! Jennifer was very responsive and great to work with before and during our daughter’s wedding weekend! Our dinner at Elkins Resort Restaurant was incredible and so was the service by Michael! Highly recommend Elkins! 5/5

What a fun spot for a wedding, family reunion or romantic weekend. The location is perfect. The lake is pristine and the abundance of Adirondack chairs at the waters edge beckon a nice long sit. The bar is quaint and service was excellent. 5/5
