Mr. Green,We are so sorry to hear you missed the sign that was clearly posted on our front door explaining where to find your key for check-in. Fortunately all our remaining check-ins for that day saw the sign and enjoyed their stay here with us.Our staff all work extremely hard here and we took them out that day for a ride to show them our appreciation for all they do. We were back before the 3pm check-in time and again are sorry that you missed the clearly posted sign on the front door with instructions for check-in. Your room was ready and waiting especially for you that you no-showed for.If you happen to be in this area again, we’d love to have another opportunity to show you why so many guests tell us that Elk View Inn is a GREAT place to stay!

Beautiful location. Property has potential, but dirty and needs a lot of maintenance. For $170/night we expected more. King bed was two singles pushed together. Big gap in the center of the bed. Everything was dirty in the halls and building entrances. A bird nest over the front door -bird crap you had to walk through. Bar/Grill was mediocre. Bar service was good, but slow because only one worker running hard. Breakfast was good. Service was poor. 9 of us came in four were served reasonably, two more in 45 minutes and the last in 1 hr 20 minutes. Saw others getting up and leaving. Overall, it served it's purpose, but pretty spendy for what we got.

We were very disappointed in our stay. We have stayed at the Wlk View before and loved it. The place is just run down. There's no staff if you have a late check in. There's a note to get your key from a white drop box by the bar. Upon arrival, no key. Went into thw bar and waited 45 minutes for the bartender to get my key to me. (And it wasn't busy) Got to the room and the door looked like it had been kicked in. Door handle didn't turn all the way. No ice or vending machines or in room fridges or microwaves. Oyr shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. We didn't have enough towels after cleaning that up. Asked for towels 2 days in a row before finally catching a maid in the supply room and getting them from her. The pool and hot tub room were shut down. Not sure why but it breaks our hearts to see a place we have had so ma y great memories, become so poorly neglected. That being said, when you find someone who works there they are really nice.

Was expecting a better quality place given the price. The WiFi didn't work and there was no cell service in the area. Dated room but somewhat clean. The parking area was a gravel mess from all the 4 wheelers. Would recommend staying.

If you are looking for a warm quiet place in the mountains this place is for you. The lodge is currently under new ownership and they are trying to make this place competitive. The pool and hot tub were not functioning.dinner was seeved in the bar. The room had no fridge and for a king bed we were given a handicap room making the showering experience awkward. The staff was friendly. They did have a really cool rustic lodge and atv rental. No cell service, but based on the location, that is to be expected. Absolutely the quietest stay we have had anywhere. Once they finish the updates and remodel this will be an absolute must visit lodge.

Upon arrival there was no clerk, the office was closed, 4 PM, the key was in an envelope and no WIFI password, this area has no cell service. No ice machine. The overall appearance of the property and room is extremely poor. The paint was peeling off of the walls in the bathroom. No microwave or fridge. 2 nights with all fees was $360. Would not rush right back, sorry. NO pets were allowed and I can not figure out why, at least my pet could of kept me occupied and happy during this stay.

The hotel room had open wires where an overhead light had been. The bathroom had broken tiles and missing grout on n the floor tiles. There was no security at the hotel building. The rooms needed serious updating. Definitely not worth the price!

Beautiful setting! Nice staff. Cleanliness in the rooms was awful. Didn’t say anything as I know they, like everywhere are short staffed and hard to find workers.

This inn was a huge disappointment. The rooms were dirty and obviously hadn’t been kept up in years. Smoke alarm was just wires hanging out of the ceiling. No screens on windows. Entranceway stunk of smoke. No clear signage of where to check in (there were 2 separate buildings). Unexpected $10 key charge in cash only refundable when key returned. But lobby wasn’t open when we left. Inconsistent application of policy-some guests in same group not charged a key fee. Rooms were not ready upon arrival. Dining hours were limited and breakfast was only offered at a different lodge down the road. No refrigerators in rooms and no ice in hotel. Food was good. Portions were large. We were offered a free drink due to rooms not being ready. They seemed very understaffed and not unprepared for the large number of wedding guests. The scenery was amazing and we saw lots of wildlife. ATVs were available for rent.

The paint was peeling in the room, there was no table, soda machine didn't work, no ice machine, old box TV with fuzzy picture, very little inside to buy to drink or eat, restaurant wasn't open except for lunch so we had to go to the other resort to eat, had to order a sandwich from the bar for dinner because that was the only option. Would not stay again. They had an indoor pool and jacuzzi but they were off and dirty. We are sad that we spent our 20th anniversary there 😢.

Clean rooms, needs to update some of the carpets and such...there was no ice machine and needed to go to the main lodge which was quite a long ways away. The vending machine for drinks didn't work either. I had to pay $3 for a full bag of ice even though there was no refrigerator in the room and we couldn't keep the ice for the entire night...the restaurant was closed but the bar had food to order...all of it was fried food and not that good...gorgeous area and views...comfy bed.

Will stay elsewhere next time
The place is a bit run down which is understandable but the service was terrible. I can understand some delays due to COVID but the staff was not trained well and took FOREVER to check people out (I’m talking a line 6 deep and I’m #2 and have been standing for 30 min!) The bright spots were the young man who waited on us in the restaurant (however the food was terrible) and the bar tender who was pleasant and gave great service despite being slammed!

Never left a hotel review it before but…
Bathroom didn’t look like it had been cleaned. There was only one towel. We went to the front desk to get more but they had closed early. Went there again in the morning to ask for more. They said they bring more to our room, but never did. Our whole family ended up having to use the same towel. Also the shower didn’t work consistently. Sometimes the water pressure would slow down so much it was dribble then stop completely. The only way to get it back on was to turn the water on cold. We ended up checking out a day early.
