Our favorite place to stay in a 60mi radius
Avid travelers traveling from Oklahoma & Louisiana to meet, this is our families favorite place to stay. We usually like to find new places every trip but this is the best in the region. The best of both hotels or vaca rentals with enjoyable outdoor space for all ages & weather, well thought out rooms with all the details (the kids especially love they each get their own bed instead of sharing or pull outs), excellent breakfast and friendly, accommodating hosts who make you feel like family. We love ELKen Retreat and the Faglie’s!

I am so glad we found Elken Retreat and we can’t wait to stay again! The place is beautifully maintained and decorated, extremely clean, the owners are absolutely amazing, the room had anything we needed, the pool was perfect and having breakfast made the next morning was the cherry on top! Truly a fantastic place and people!!

Perfect girls’ trip spot!
Jennifer and Jason were delightful hosts! This property was exactly what we were looking for to make a canton excursion the perfect trip. Jennifer was so helpful in making dinner restaurant suggestions and then provided the most delicious muffins to get our morning off just the way we needed! We will absolutely stay again!

Relaxing stay in Canton, TX
What a great place to stay! You can really feel all the care that Jen and Jason have for what they do in all the little details from the notes they leave you to having everything set up for you when you return from a day out. If that didn’t clue you in then the wonderful homemade breakfast will! Oh! And the beds! Oh the beds! So comfy! Thank you Jen and Jason! We’ll be back!
