Beautiful place to stay
What a great place for rest and relaxation! Blue Elk Inn is intentional about every detail which makes it such a unique place to stay. There is such a nice place in the back yard of the inn to relax on the deck or garden area. The grounds are immaculate and provide such a place of peace and comfort.

We really enjoyed staying here. The only thing that we would change is that the air conditioning unit sounded like a jet engine. It was quite loud even on low.

Good times in Leavenworth!
Leavenworth is a great experience! Lots to do.You can get it done in 3days if you don’t hike. The BE is very relaxing. The back deck was warm and the couch and soft chairs make it cosy.

Fun finding the Blue Elks around the hotel and in the paintings. Gorgeous deck for relaxing. Older hot tub but still sweet to be outside with Mountain views.

Wonderful stay
Went to the Celtic festival in April, brought the dogs. They not only allowed pets, their price was right on point(others could take a lesson from the Blue Elk on this issue.). The room was roomy and comfortable and quiet.
