Elements Lodge
JR. & High School Youth Group Trip
Our Junior High and High School Youth Group had an awesome time at Elements Lodge. The property was big enough for our 26 person party and could have handled even more. The kitchen and large dining table was incredible for our meals, some we prepped and some we catered. The game room was a hit with our students who organized ping pong tournaments. Some of the furnishings (.e.g. the couches in the theater room) are showing some significant signs of wear, but it was not a big deal to our students. With close proximity to Lake Alpine and Big Trees, our group had no shortage of things to do.

Elements Lodge
Pretty Good Spot
Elements Lodge was a pretty good stay for my group of 20. There was plenty of space and the game room downstairs had all sorts of fun amenities, such as air hockey, giant Jenga, giant connect 4, ping pong, and foosball. There was also a basketball hoop outside. The commercial kitchen was a dream to cook in and the dining room was huge. The listing says it can host up to 50 people, but there definitely isn’t that much room for sleeping accommodations. There were enough beds to sleep 30 max. If an air mattress was added to each room, it could sleep mayyyybe 36, but it would be extremely tight. The couches throughout the property were all very comfortable, however, they all had tears, holes, and rips in them. It was 90 degrees while we were there, but there was no AC. Instead they had plenty of fans available. The fans helped, but we were nowhere near as comfortable as we would’ve been if there was AC. The hosts were reasonable during communications and pretty easy to reach. They emailed us the contract to sign two nights before our booking. Which we considered a bit unethical since it was past the refundable cancellation date (which is three days before). When we addressed this issue, the host was understanding and helped work it out with us.
Even though the place was not as luxurious as I had hoped, especially considering the price, it ended up being a good space for my group to celebrate my birthday.
