Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

This cabin has been in my family for over 40 years, and we love to share it's charm with the world! Sleep like a log in our one-room charming cabin on a small private lake lot with non-motor boats only. Little Elk Lake is 43 acres. Queen bed with linens provided, plus 2 adult cots with pads and sleeping bags. Rowboat plus 1 youth kayak, two adult kayaks and a canoe are available for your use, and we have life jackets in many sizes. We are sorry but the pontoon boat cannot be used by guests. 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! Don't waste one moment of lake time! GROCERY, PHARMACY and EVEN HOMEGOODS delivery is available. Our local large grocery chain Price Chopper, Rite Aid and Family Dollar all deliver to the cabin. The name of the app is INSTACART. NEW - a Smart TV to keep those little ones entertained on rainy days. A WIFI Hotspot is available in the add-on section of your reservation. We also have a DVD player with a few family-friendly movies. Games, coloring books and drawing paper, etc. are in the cabin. ALSO NEW - We have cold and HOT water at the kitchen sink and a large private outdoor shower/changing room. We ask guests to conserve water since we are hauling water and pumping it into a 275-gallon outdoor tank.

Sunset Shore on Little Elk Lake offers a serene escape with a cozy cabin that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Guests consistently praise the location's peacefulness and the variety of activities available, from kayaking and fishing to simply relaxing by the lake. The cabin is well-equipped, and hosts Jennifer and Jeff are noted for their responsiveness and hospitality. Be mindful of the outdoor amenities as some guests noted the mud during rainy weather, and the walk to the bathroom requires a bit of care.

Amazing stay!

With pets

What am amazing stay! My wife, two dogs and I had a fantastic time here. Nice outdoor fire pit with a good amount of wood, and such a cozy cabin. It was great having kitchen appliances onsite for those rainy days. Very comfortable bed, and very fun jumping in the lake with the dogs! We would love to come back.

Excellent and peaceful

With pets

The cabin was an old fashion vibe. It has everything you need. It was well stocked. And the owners were friendly. The location was great. The lake was cute. The lake is right out back. But you have to be careful because it is a step area to walk. It is private and no one bothers you. Only problem was the outdoor shower and port a potty. When it rains as it did when we went there is a lot of mud. If you fish early in the morning you will see an eagle. You will hear all kind of animals from bears to frogs and cows. But nothing bothers you. The town is very peaceful.

I loved Sarah's land. The views were nice and easy directions to get there... the only thing is that it was windy and cold and raining so we weren't able to catch any fish almost caught 3 but didn't.. don't go when it's raining it's too muddy.. we didn't even have to bring anything she had everything you need even fresh eggs waiting for you.. the place was well lit and at night just take a flashlight with you to the bathroom... Sarah's husband showed us were everything was, walmart is about 20 to 30 mins away... will definitely go again but when it's not raining and cold.... thanks for the visit

We loved this cabin! It was well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend by the lake. The directions were very clear and Jennifer was responsive when I contacted her. My son caught seven fish! We had smores by the campfire and hiked and pressed cider at nearby Salt Springs. It was a great weekend and we’d definitely stay again.

Beautiful Elk Lake

We love Sunset Shore on Little Elk Lake. This is our 3rd summer there and it never disappoints! The cabin has all the amenities one could ever need and the location and privacy can’t be beat! We had beautiful weather. The stars were so bright at night and we had a lovely time. They are wonderful hosts and I’m so grateful they share their beautiful property and cabin with others. Thank you Jennifer for your hospitality. We will be back next year!

I loved staying at the sunset shore cabin! The views were beautiful and the directions were clear. There were houses directly next door, but we still had plenty of privacy. My favorite part was going out on the dock each morning with my cup of coffee and seeing/hearing all the cows from the farm on the opposite side of the lake. Perfect location for couples or a small family!

Better than expected!

With pets

Our first time here and it was even better than expected! Jenn has everything you could need. Just like it says, bring food and clothes and that’s it. Perfect for a couples get away, really romantic. The lake is so private it feels like you are the only people there. We loved waking up to see the lake from our bed. Our dog Frank had the best time on his first ever vacation. We loved the kayaks and Frank loved the row boat. He is now a boat dog! We will be back again for sure! This will become an annual vacation spot!

Lakeside Oasis 🏕️🌞♥️🌲

This property is a slice of heaven! My husband and I had the most beautiful stay with our 3 year old cockapoo Auggie. The cabin was clean, organized and had everything that we needed to for a fabulous stay! The grounds were relaxing and serene- we enjoyed coffee on the dock and read for hours, followed by fireside dinners each night. Our pup even experienced his first canoe ride- he absolutely loved it! 5 stars. We will most certainly be returning. Thank you Jennifer!

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!

Quiet, Comfie place to re-energize

Group trip

We loved our time spent at this rustic cabin with all the amenities you could need. A beautiful spot to enjoy nature. The bald eagle flying above me while I was floating on the lake was the highlight of the trip. My only complaint is we didn’t stay long enough.

Rustic and peaceful spot

With pets

Great spot with all the necessities. Peaceful and beautiful views. Easy to get to, might need 4wd to pull car through muddy grass in wet conditions. Gorgeous view of lake from shower too! The bathroom is a walk back up from house to where you parked your car, so bring a pair of good sandals/slides (with good grip) for that walk up a slight incline - especially incase it rains. Overall would stay here again.

Jennifer is a wonderful host. She is super responsive and attended to any needs we had throughout the stay. The cottage is very cozy and had all the essentials. The outdoor shower was lovely and the porta potty was clean. The lake was more of a fishing lake and less of a swimming lake. We did find it relaxing to sit and have coffee/cocktails by the water each day. The firepit was wonderful. We had the wood provided by Jennifer (highly recommend as there is no place to buy wood in the area). The BBQ was A+ and there was tons of outside sitting.

Just what we needed…

With pets

We came to Sunset Shore for a relaxing getaway. It was perfect! The weather cycled between bright sun, cool sprinkles, and even a thunderstorm with downpours, which gave us a variety of opportunities to enjoy kayaking, fishing, sitting by the fire, and cozying up in the cabin. We had 2 adults, 2 young kids, and a very good doggo staying there. The cabin was just the right size and had everything we needed - seriously, just pack food and clothes! Everyone’s favorite part was the kayaks. There are 2 adult (1 sit-in and 1 sit-on) and 2 kid (sit-on) kayaks, plus paddles and life vests. Little Elk Lake is the perfect size and setting for exploring by water. We will definitely return here. Our kids are already asking when we can go back!

We (three adults and one dog) had an INCREDIBLE time here! The cabin and portable toilet were both incredibly clean. So many amenities (soap, paper goods, dishes and silverware, bug spray, sunblock, even firewood)- we ended up overpacking! Very quiet and picturesque setting- we enjoyed relaxing on the deck out back, floating in the lake, grilling, and playing games around the fire. Jennifer and her husband were so kind, welcoming, and helpful and provided everything we needed during our long weekend! Rave reviews all around, even from the pup! My friends are moving soon (this was our farewell trip), but I hope to be back again with others!

We absolutely loved the cabin and the property. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is incredibly comfortable. The grill is brand new and cooked our food perfectly. We spent so much time just relaxing by the lake. We could not have asked for a nicer stay. Jennifer and her husband were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would love to stay there again!
