The fishing is EXCELLENT and bring your binoculars - BALD EAGLES frequent the lake!   We want you to have so much FUN during your visit, but we are not a party spot.  The lake is rural and quiet, and so we must request low noise levels after 10 pm in order to keep our neighborhood HAPPY!  :) We welcome everyone, including the LGBQT community and folks from all ethnicities.  You'll feel like you are coming home to a safe haven and all guests will be treated with kindness and respect here at Sunset Shore!

No labor on this Labor Day
We spent Labor Day weekend at the cabin and it was absolutely beautiful! While others were roasting in oppressive heat we were on the lake enjoying our time together completely unplugged with beautiful weather. We boated, swam, fished (caught largemouth bass everyday), and just simply relaxed napping on the deck by the lake in the afternoon and watching a sunset in the evening or roasting marshmallows on a campfire. It was also very special to see the Bald Eagle majestically soaring in the sky, hunting fish and resting up in his nest in the tall pine across the lake. It was just what we needed. Jennifer and Jeff were very responsive to our needs. This is our 2nd time at the cabin and it was just as lovely as it was last year. Thank you Jennifer & Jeff for sharing your enchanting cabin on the beautiful Little Elk Lake. We will be back!

Jennifer’s cabin was so peaceful & relaxing. The dock & reclining chairs by the water were one of my favorite things - and I did yoga on the dock in the morning. So serene and a perfect way to rejuvenate. Also recommend Kool Cow ice cream 15 min away!

We enjoyed our week at Jennifer's lake camp. Albeit small, the cabin was cozy & well equipped (overall). The bed & linens were great. The kitchen was good. (You might want to bring a favorite pot or skillet). It is evident that the owner's have put a lot of thought and care into the cabin & the site. The lake is beautiful and was quiet when we were there in late August. My husband enjoyed the swimming. (I stayed out only because the air was a bit cool. We spent late morning- mid-afternoon out exploring the area, so swimming happened late afternoon.) I will say, I'm still recovering from a significant knee injury and the walk to the lake & port-a-potty, while very doable, required me to move slowly & carefully. Overall, it is a very welcoming space.

This is a great place. The simple but pleasant cabin is just above the lake. Great swimming, fishing, and kayaking right from the dock. Lovely places to sit and watch the water. You can’t go wrong here!
