This was the best Iāve experienced period. The place was amazing. The bed was great and our suite had all we needed. The hosts are friendly and provided a beautiful experience. We woke up to the best French toast ever. Just overall a perfect stay!

We went to Texas for the eclipse 2024 and had a wonderful time at the retreat. Jennifer was super nice and even provided us with two pairs of eclipse glasses, as well as with delicious snacks in the morning. We watched the eclipse together with her and other guests. We got lucky with the cloud coverage and had an amazing time.
Our room was at the back of the retreat. It was super cozy and extra quiet.
We would absolutely stay there again!

My furies and I stayed for First Monday. Our room was so adorable! Bed was super comfy and room was stocked with everything you need. Jason and Jennifer are the sweetest! They brought hot cookies to the pool and sāmores at night! Make sure you ask to pet their precious golden doodles and have Jason share some jokes. Breakfast is also superb! Hope I can visit again soon!

I absolutely loved everything about this property, my suite #5 was better than I imagined. Jennifer & Jason are the kindest people ever! Breakfast both mornings (prepared by Jason) was delicious especially the French Toast (my fav) and the coffee. I'm still laughing and sharing Jason's jokes. Their property is magical. Visit with the Turkeys, hens and other birds. It was fun finding & collecting feathers. I found angel wings in the tall tree. I visited several places that weekend. I recommend them all. The Forge Bar & Grill, Edom Log Cabin restaurant and a further drive out was Speakeasy Coffeehouse in Quitman. I was there to enjoy a friend's live music at some of these places but I found so much more joy in East TX and the ELKen Retreat was a huge part of that. Thank you! Love you guys!

Stayed two nights, showed up a little late Friday night and had a lil hard time finding room since we parked in wrong spot - but Jennifer responded right away - and after walking around a bit found it!
Hot tub is great - breakfast and massages were a huge plus. Even homemade cookies randomly. Highly recommend.

My husband and I chose Elken Retreat for our COVID19 delayed 25th anniversary getaway! We loved it!
Our stay was peaceful, relaxing, and refreshing. The owner's are very friendly and gifted at little touches that made us feel truly welcomed. They seem to think of everything. The property is definitely a cozy retreat from it all. Loved sitting out by the firepit and the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. We shall return!

Very clean and nicely decorated. This was a perfect get a way for me and my sister in law for the First Monday Tradesday. The bed was very comfortable and the room included everything we needed.
Breakfast was very good :) We hope to stay here again for another girl's trip :)

Close get-a-way
Being from Athens and just needing a place to escape to, this was perfect. The pool was pristine, the room was super clean and cozy and the hospitality was curated to our comfort level. The massage therapist was phenomenal with over 15 years of experience and was able to work out the pain in my neck, shoulders, and low back.
100% will be back soon!

Pampered
Jason and Jennifer were very attentive. Pool was very refreshing. They brought us warm chocolate chip cookies our first evening, muffins and cinnamon pound cake for breakfast the first morning and made to order omelets on last day. Beautiful bed and breakfast.

Absolutely Awesome.
It was our first time booking a property like this. The property was immaculately kept. The hosts were wonderful throughout the booking process and throughout the stay. The price was very fair and reasonable. So many added value touches that really made it feel comfortable and like home. It was more like we were going to visit a long lost relative than staying at a place of business. Thank you Jennifer and Jason for the passion and care that you have so obviously put into what you do. We will be in touch and definitely be back! This is absolutely a new getaway for us. So glad to find you! - Justin & Jennifer (the Bakery people)
