5 stars isn’t enough stars to give Elken Retreat! All the special touches made this the perfect place to stay: Comfy-cozy room/ bed, hot tub after a long day of walking and shopping, a sweet treat each night, and the yummy breakfast each morning. We will definitely be back!

This was the best I’ve experienced period. The place was amazing. The bed was great and our suite had all we needed. The hosts are friendly and provided a beautiful experience. We woke up to the best French toast ever. Just overall a perfect stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. I was very clean, decorated very cute and cozy, and a great atmosphere in the outdoor are. We live local but needed a great place to celebrate us. This was the place.

Our stay was peaceful, relaxing, and refreshing. The owner's are very friendly and gifted at little touches that made us feel truly welcomed. They seem to think of everything. The property is definitely a cozy retreat from it all. Loved sitting out by the firepit and the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. We shall return!

Stayed two nights, showed up a little late Friday night and had a lil hard time finding room since we parked in wrong spot - but Jennifer responded right away - and after walking around a bit found it! Hot tub is great - breakfast and massages were a huge plus. Even homemade cookies randomly. Highly recommend.

My furies and I stayed for First Monday. Our room was so adorable! Bed was super comfy and room was stocked with everything you need. Jason and Jennifer are the sweetest! They brought hot cookies to the pool and s’mores at night! Make sure you ask to pet their precious golden doodles and have Jason share some jokes. Breakfast is also superb! Hope I can visit again soon!

We went to Texas for the eclipse 2024 and had a wonderful time at the retreat. Jennifer was super nice and even provided us with two pairs of eclipse glasses, as well as with delicious snacks in the morning. We watched the eclipse together with her and other guests. We got lucky with the cloud coverage and had an amazing time. Our room was at the back of the retreat. It was super cozy and extra quiet. We would absolutely stay there again!

We had a fantastic stay. We were picking up our daughter from Sky Ranch and booked the Elken Retreat the night before we picked her up for a quick romantic getaway and to be closer to camp for pick-up. The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. Jason and Jennifer put many personal touches into our stay. We had a welcome sign, a “happy pick up daughter day” sign at breakfast, and chocolates on our pillows at night. We had a nice soak in the hot tub while listening to music on the patio at night and a delicious breakfast in the morning-the homemade biscuits were our favorite! This was a perfect quick romantic getaway for us and we can’t wait to get back! Thank you Jason and Jennifer for a wonderful stay.

I absolutely loved everything about this property, my suite #5 was better than I imagined. Jennifer & Jason are the kindest people ever! Breakfast both mornings (prepared by Jason) was delicious especially the French Toast (my fav) and the coffee. I'm still laughing and sharing Jason's jokes. Their property is magical. Visit with the Turkeys, hens and other birds. It was fun finding & collecting feathers. I found angel wings in the tall tree. I visited several places that weekend. I recommend them all. The Forge Bar & Grill, Edom Log Cabin restaurant and a further drive out was Speakeasy Coffeehouse in Quitman. I was there to enjoy a friend's live music at some of these places but I found so much more joy in East TX and the ELKen Retreat was a huge part of that. Thank you! Love you guys!

Super hosts is such an understatement! Jennifer and Jason were amazing from the time I booked our reservation. The property was so nice. The room was very clean and so comfy. So nice to come back to after long days of shopping. Will definitely be our first choice of places to stay when we go back to Canton.

Thank you Jason and Jennifer for being wonderful hosts for our trip to Canton. I can't say enough how thoughtful all the little notes and extras were. Y'all truly made us feel welcomed and we can't wait to come back. I would give ElKen 6 out of 5 stars if Vrbo would let me. Thanks again and see ya soon.😍 -Jay
