Summer CABINS

Our five vintage 1940's cabins reflect the long history of the resort and offer a simple, classic cabin experience near Elk Lake.

Each cabin features two bedrooms furnished with new mattresses and new furniture, comfortably accommodating up to four guests. While the cabins are older and fairly basic, they provide the essentials needed for a convenient stay close to the lake.

Your stay includes the convenience of private parking and access to a basic camping-style kitchen equipped with essential cooking supplies, including a microwave. Inside, each cabin includes a private bathroom with a shower, along with fresh linens, and towels. The kitchen space is stocked with plates, bowls, cups, silverware, and utensils for your group, along with standard cookware such as pots and pans. (Bakeware is not provided.) A coffee maker is not included in the cabins, but guests are welcome to enjoy the coffee station available down at the Lodge.

Cabins 17 and 18 each include one queen bed and two twin beds. Cabins 19 and 20 feature two queen beds, while Cabin 25 is conveniently located next to our largest cabin, Cabin 26, for extra large groups.

Outside, each cabin has two Adirondack chairs and a seasonal campfire ring where guests can enjoy an evening under the stars.  Under a canopy of pine trees, guests can take in the natural beauty and scenery that make Elk Lake special. These cabins provide a practical and nostalgic stay for those who appreciate the charm of vintage lake cabins.

Up to two vehicles may be parked at these cabins. Tents and pop-up shade tents are not allowed. Any vehicle that can be slept in—such as a camper, van, or truck with a shell—must be parked in the Upper Parking Lot. Overnight sleeping in vehicles in any of our parking lots is not permitted.

NEW for 2026 – Private Beach Area for Main Cabin Guests

The North Shore Beach area is reserved for guests who have booked a Main Cabin (not campground sites). Only guests staying exclusively in Main Cabins may use this beach; any members of a group who also have campground reservations are not allowed in the North Shore Beach area.

The entrance areas are monitored by staff to ensure a quiet and relaxing environment for guests who want to unwind, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful beach experience.

Day-use guests and campground site guests may use the newly designated Day Use Beach, located next to the Marina stand and in front of the Large Cabanas.

Please see our FAQ page and Terms & Conditions page for updates on parking, arrival times, fees, and other policy changes.

To help maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests, grilling is only permitted at campground sites with reservations and for guests using the day dock. Grilling is not allowed in any other areas of the resort. Please do not bring personal grills onto the property unless you have a campground reservation or day dock rental where grilling is permitted.

Instead, we encourage guests to relax and enjoy the convenience of our restaurant and bar, where you can take in the lake views while enjoying freshly prepared meals, snacks, and beverages during your visit.

Cabin #26 -

The South Sister

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY 10 ADULTS

Tucked at the very southern edge of the property, this cabin is the most secluded and private of them all. A small pathway just in front of the cabin leads directly to the lake, making it easy to wander down for a quiet morning by the water or an evening walk as the sun sets. Surrounded by nature and set apart from the other cabins, it offers a peaceful retreat for families or groups looking to relax and unwind.

As the largest and most accommodating cabin on the property, it comfortably hosts up to ten guests. Inside, the cabin features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with tubs, one located upstairs and the other downstairs, providing plenty of space for everyone to settle in.

The first bedroom includes a king bed along with two twin beds, making it perfect for families traveling with children. The second bedroom offers a cozy queen bed, while the third bedroom contains two twin beds. Downstairs, a back room provides additional sleeping space with a full-size futon. This room will soon feature a sliding barn door, adding extra privacy while still maintaining the cabin’s warm, rustic character.

The cabin also includes a convenient mudroom with a bench—perfect for kicking off muddy boots after a day exploring the outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals and gather together. It includes a full-size range and stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker. Guests are welcome to bring their own coffee, or they can enjoy the complete coffee station available at the Lodge. The kitchen is stocked with plates, bowls, cups, silverware, stemware, and cutlery for up to ten guests, along with standard cookware such as pots and pans. (Bakeware is not provided.)

With its quiet setting, generous space, and easy access to the lake, this southern cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and the simple joys of cabin living.

The cabin also includes a clothes washer and dryer, along with towels and linens for your stay. Outside, guests can relax on two large covered decks overlooking the lake.

Sleep under the stars in our propane-heated cabins, featuring a queen bed on the main floor and a full mattress in the loft. Bring your sleeping bags and pillows, as there’s no kitchen or electricity—just the sounds of the forest (or beach!).

Relax on the small deck or at the picnic table, gather around the seasonal campfire rings, and purchase firewood in the general store. Showers are available at the Lodge for $10.  Campfire rings may not be available if cabin is on the beach.

Parking includes space for one vehicle, and additional cars can be parked in the Upper Parking Lot. Vehicles designed for sleeping, like campers or vans, must be parked in a reserved van spot or the Upper Parking Lot; overnight sleeping in the Upper Parking Lot is NOT allowed.  Tents and pop-up shade tents are not permitted near the cabins.

Please Note: This summer, as part of our master plan to create a Stay & Recharge experience, the camping cabins may be moved to the North Shore Beach area, and we will update the website when this is done—there’s no need to call to check on the move. We do not have a set completion date, so its possible that it may not be completed this year.  No refunds or credits will be issued if you prefer a different location.

Guests who reserved a camping cabin prior to the implementation of the Stay & Recharge package and find themselves at the beach, without the purchase of the package, will receive a limited version at no additional cost, with the opportunity to upgrade to the full package, if available. Final details and pricing will be posted as soon as they are available.

NEW! DAY USE BEACH FOR CAMPGROUND RESERVATIONS!

The day use beach is located immediately next to the marina stand and in front of the large cabanas.  The North Shore Beach area is for those who have main cabin, Stay & Recharge packages (coming soon!) and who have reserved the DayDock.  Beach entrance areas are monitored by staff.  No outside food or drinks are allowed at the the Day Use Beach.

A perfect blend of true camping and cozy comfort, your forest—or soon-to-be beach—adventure is ready to begin.

"A rare gem in Central Oregon and under new ownership. There's life being breathed into this long time favorite. Highly recommend taking the snow cat at least one way, perhaps skiing in one way as well. The food is fantastic. Espresso and great adult beverages. You won't be disappointed."

"The team at Elk Lake Lodge are the absolute best! They are dedicated to making sure every guest has the best experience possible- not just because it’s their job, but because they genuinely care. The new renovations are beautiful, food is 10/10, can’t recommend this place enough!"

"My second stay at Elk Lake and I had a great experience both visits.  Beautiful location and very friendly staff.  I’ll be visiting again! "

"Great place! Good for family, eating, camping, kayaking, swimming. Plenty of room for lots and lots of people."
