About Us

Outdoor seating area with umbrellas overlooking the lake. — Ashtabula Elks Lodge #208
Outdoor seating area with umbrellas overlooking the lake.

Pull up to 3115 Lake Road West and you'll immediately understand why this lodge earns a 4.5-star reputation across 135 reviews. The outdoor property rolls right down to a beach path along Lake Erie, giving members and guests a backdrop that most banquet venues can only dream about. Photographers, wedding parties, and reunion planners have all discovered what regulars already know: the setting does half the work.

Inside, the story is just as good. The banquet room handles large celebrations with ease, and the dining room keeps a steady crowd happy with straightforward, satisfying cooking. That taco salad mentioned by road-tripping guests? It's the kind of dish that makes you reroute your GPS to come back. The staff delivers consistent, friendly service whether you're a longtime Elk or walking through the door for the first time.

RV travelers have also discovered Lodge #208 as a welcome overnight stop, with 110-volt hookups available on the property. It's a small detail that says something larger: this lodge looks out for people on the road, not just members with a card in their wallet.

What We Offer

The lodge offers full dining service with a rotating menu that keeps regulars coming back and surprises first-timers. The kitchen takes pride in honest, well-executed food, and the bar provides a comfortable place to unwind after a long day on the lake or on the highway.

The banquet room is the centerpiece for private events. Birthday milestones, retirement parties, graduation receptions, and family reunions all find a natural home here, with staff who know how to keep a large gathering running smoothly. The outdoor grounds and beach path create a stunning photo backdrop that no downtown hotel ballroom can replicate.

For traveling members and RV guests, the lodge extends genuine hospitality with overnight parking and electrical hookups. Elks Lodge #208 also supports the broader BPOE mission through local charitable programs, scholarship drives, and community outreach that have made this organization a fixture in Ashtabula, Ohio for well over a century.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
