We had the best time at Elken Retreat. From the minute we arrived we felt so welcome. Jason and Jennifer are the perfect hosts. The little personalized touches, homemade breakfasts and fresh baked cookies made us feel so special. We had the best girls weekend at Elken Retreat and can't wait to visit again!!

What an amazing place to rest, rejuvenate and relax! The owners treat you like royalty- attending to your every need and then some! “Would you like s’mores by the fire pit tonight?” YES PLEASE. “How about we get the hot tub ready for you girls?” UMMM OKAYYYY! If you love clean, cute comfy rooms, amazing breakfast and attentive hosts- this is the place for you! Five Stars allllll the way!

I can’t find a word perfect enough to describe this beautiful place and the people who own it. Very communicative, on top of things, and even sociable to my kids and I. The pool was very clean along with the room. They were responsive on giving us more towels and coffee when needed. The massage was amazing I even got a second. Will be returning. Very family friends environment. Very relaxing!

Loved EVERYTHING about this stay, almost. Jason and Jennifer are AMAZING humans who really take pride in their property and your experience. A few things that made my heart smile were personal notes by the suite door at arrival and at your placemat at breakfast, QTIPS!!!, s’mores brought to the door, hot tub jets, and Jason’s attempt of being a stand up/sit down comedian, and just how friendly they were. Wasn’t a fan of the put together bed that slid apart throughout the night but I think that can be fixed, minor detail. My girl was happy for her birthday and that makes me super happy. Thank you for being GREAT hosts!

To begin our spring break, my daughter (9) and I were guests at the Elken Retreat. Early communications with hosts Jason and Jennifer made me feel comfortable about our trip. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted. We made our way to our suite and immediately were overwhelmed with how cute the decor and finishings were. The small touches made us feel welcome. Not only were the unexpected chocolate chip cookies delicious (yes, we ate them all), so were the muffins and fruit! Thank you Jason and Jennifer for being attentive, responsive, and present! Continued blessings for what I now consider a home away from our home! You'll see us again!

Me and my three sisters stayed here for a “girls” weekend without kiddos. It could not have been better! The hosts, Jason and Jennifer, are not only precious, but incredible at creating a beautiful, relaxing escape for people. Everything was so thoughtfully arranged, from the quality of the beds/linens, to the amazing s’mores set up, pleasant music, and even name plates and thoughtful signage throughout. This is the perfect place for any kind of girls trip/romantic getaway/scrapbook retreat, etc. The setting is convenient to all the cute shops in Canton, the rooms have everything you could possibly need (including extra toothbrush), and the hot tub and pool are divine! I will definitely be back!
Thank you for the amazing hospitality! You are wonderful people and I wish you the best!

My friends and I enjoyed a weekend away at the ELKen Retreat and we absolutely loved the entire atmosphere. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of and was a fantastic communicator. Jason made the most beautiful and delicious breakfasts and made sure to keep the property amenities clean and usable. We will definitely be visiting again and would recommend to anyone!

We stayed here for a moms’ getaway on a non-trades day weekend. This place was perfect for our stay! Jennifer is so friendly and responsive right from the start—they were always available to answer any questions. The homemade breakfasts were such a treat and so filling! We enjoyed using the pool and hot tub and several of us got massages as well. Jason and Jennifer were also great at offering suggestions on restaurants, coffee, and shopping! We thoroughly enjoyed their property and were able to unwind and relax. Lots of nice little touches and perks—Jennifer is such a gifted hostess! We will definitely be back!

I can't sat enough about how much I loved this place. First of all, Jason gives the best massage that you will ever have. Jennifer adds so many special touches it is just amazing! The pool was amazing after a long day of shopping. The room was perfect for our needs. I can't wait to come back and visit again. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!!!!

My girlfriends and I love this property!! The suite was clean and cutely decorated. The pool is a definite plus but the best thing was just chatting with Jennifer and Jason and loving on their two dogs. If your not a dog lover, no worries Jennifer and Jason will make the dogs do not bother you. Oh I forgot to mention the breakfast was fantastic!
