Question
What is the difference between an Elk Lake House Cabin and Camping Cabin?
Answer
There are 10 House cabins with bedrooms, full bathrooms, some with full kitchens, some with decks and BBQs, and some with washer and dryers, and all with the amenities for a comfy stay. There are 5 cabins that can accommodate 6 people, there are 4 cabins that can accommodate 8 people, and there is 1 cabin that can accommodate 10 people. The number of people each cabin accommodates assumes people are happy to share a bed. Camping cabins are more rustic and provide for a more true camping experience, but with the comfort of a heated cabin. Each cabin has propane heat and propane lantern. No power/water or amenities. Bring your own sleeping bags, pillows, towels. Table and chairs also provided. Enjoy relaxing on a small deck, with seasonal Campfire rings available.
