Elm House is cozy and comfortable…like going to Gramma’s house! It is neat and clean and well stocked. From kitchen supplies to comfy seating in the living room to a bounty of towels in the bathrooms, every need has been anticipated.

enjoyed stay

We enjoyed the stay, but left a day early because a very bad storm was predicted. No basement or storm shelter listed, no garage for car. Hope to come again next year for planning ministry retreat. Everything was great. Loved the homey atmosphere.
