Great Hosts But Stay Fell Short of Expectations
There are many nice things we have to say about our 4 night stay. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful before and during our stay. Elk Lake was beautiful, as well as the local area. Tons of outdoor activities to enjoy and great small businesses in Waymart and the surrounding towns.My S.O. and I did not find the tavern next door to be a nuisance at all. We enjoyed the liveliness of the neighborhood and never felt it disrupted our stay.The apartment itself was just alright, I was glad to be leaving when we did. Overall it had a drab motel feel—stained carpet in the larger bedroom, dusty living room, abused countertops, mildew bath tiles and icky caulking. The place had been cleaned before we got there but, due to the dust, both of us would sneeze and cough, inside the apartment. Also, to clean dishes, we were left two used old sponges. Not ideal.The other less than ideal aspect of our stay was the dock. It’s a plastic dock fastened to the shore in a muddy alcove of the lake. Very cute for sitting on but forget about it if you want to solo kayak. Absolutely no stability, my S.O. was even unable to assist stabilizing the kayak for me to get into off that dock. No ropes, poles, or areas to launch from the shore.After our first failed attempt to kayak, we couldn’t even try again because our neighbors downstairs, another vrbo rental, had left ALL of the kayaks on the lawn during an overnight storm. (Obviously, that was out of the host’s control.)
