Elbow Lake is a small, welcoming county-seat community surrounded by lakes, trails and a compact downtown—ideal for travel therapists who want peaceful evenings, easy outdoor recreation and a personable local vibe during multi-week stays.
For more variety on weekends, Fergus Falls (regional hub with shops, healthcare and arts) and Alexandria (lake‑resort dining, breweries and larger retail) are both within roughly a 25–35 mile drive, so you can balance quiet workweeks with lively outings.
