Underwhelming Experience at The Elk Hut

I'm not one to usually write reviews, but my stay at The Elk Hut was a letdown. As an avid outdoorsman, I was looking forward to immersing myself in nature and enjoying some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, the cabins, although nicely designed, felt a bit overpriced for what you get. The full-service cabin was comfortable, but the loft area was a bit cramped for our group of five. The log cabin, which we booked for a night, was more rustic than expected, and the lack of running water was a bit of a hassle. The outhouse, although clean, was not exactly what I'd call convenient. The surroundings were beautiful, with plenty of wildlife to spot, but the overall experience felt a bit disjointed. The team behind The Elk Hut seems to have a deep connection to the area, but it didn't quite translate to our stay. Maybe it was just an off weekend, but for the prices they're charging, I expected a bit more polish. The booking process was smooth, and the deposit refund policy is reasonable, but overall, I'd say The Elk Hut is a solid choice if you're looking for a no-frills outdoor escape, but don't expect to be blown away.
