Enjoy an unforgettable vacation at Elk Lake Retreat (formerly, Elkin)! The retreat is perfectly located on the crystal clear and sandy bottom Elk Lake with private lakefront access.

This property is completely fenced in, so kids can enjoy the playground, beach, and fun yard games while parents relax and get some well-rested time. Kayaks, paddle boards and a giant lily pad are available at no cost to Elk Lake Retreat guests.

You can skip the stress of towing and you can rent pontoons and jet skis from our sister company, Torch Lake Water Rentals. The pontoons and jet skies are conveniently hoisted on the property. Elk Lake Retreat guests get special discounted pricing!

You are welcome to bring your own boat and jet skis, there are mooring buoys available for your use for overnight parking. We have a dock you may use to load and unload. No overnight tying to the dock – strictly enforced.

If you are looking to check out the world famous Torch Lake sandbar, it can be easily accessed from the property via water or land. Travelling by water can take 1-1.5 hours depending on the day of week and time of year. Driving is less than 15 minutes.
