We LOVED the Blue Elk Inn. We would 100% stay here again in the future. Just far enough away from the core town so that you don’t have too many people, but totally walkable to all the shopping and restaurants within 1 mile max! About 30 min drive to Colchuk lake hike too. Excellent place to stay in Leavenworth!

We loved our stay at the Blue Elk Inn. The staff were fantastic from the moment we arrived throughout our stay available for questions and information on local activities. The property and our room were clean, polished and inviting. Make sure to ask for a robe before your stay as they offer that to guests who ask about extra towels. I like that the property is a little distance from downtown which made it quiet but still close enough to walk to all the shops and restaurants. It’s also right next door to the adventure park! This place is a gem!

It’s was very clean and accessible. It was a very hot day and we could have used an air conditioner that was able to get colder.
