This was my second stay at the Elkhorn. The rooms are good sized, really clean and the beds are super comfortable. Will look forward to staying here again next year.

Sandi, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The bed and room were clean and comfortable. I enjoyed sitting on the front deck and by the river. I was alone and felt perfectly safe. Nice food and coffee options were 5 minutes down the road.

The beautiful scenery is so relaxing. You can see wildlife( mainly deer) from the porch chairs. Bery wuiet and tranquil atmosphere.

Was just as we expected. Had a great time.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room is very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. Shower head was to low for hubby he's 6ft., no ac...so it was warm. Have to rent a deluxe room for a kitchenette.
Melanie, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

This motel would have been a great place back in the 1960s. Come 2025 a lot of upkeep and updating is needed. Our flooring felt like it was going to fall in, bathrooms needed to be updated. The room had an odor that you could not do away with. No air conditioning although we did have a big fan.. I have a hard time with the 8.4 rating on this property. If it had been refundable we would’ve declined.
Licinda, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

We only stayed because there were no other options. Overpriced for what we got.
Kyung, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Liked the clean room and the balcony. Loved the 3 lock system on the doors. Dislikes: the bed linens were not clean and the comforter was filthy. No AC, the dispensers in the shower did not work. Run down for the price. The part that takes the cake (from a professional electrician), is the power sketchy. Every time you try and use the microwave, the power dips really bad- a potential fire hazard! It was a really quiet place over all, lots of shade and didn't have to deal with barking dogs and loud neighbors.
Jessica, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was great to have so much peace and quiet Bed's we're comfortable and cabin was clean Was a relaxing 4 nights off the CDT exactly what we needed 👍 super friendly staff.. thanks.
Shaun, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful scenery, very quiet and clean. About a 1 minute walk to the river. Absolutely will use them again.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We got key to our room. When we entered, room had not been cleaned! It was filthy. They did give us another room. That room looked like they hadn’t kept up with condition of rooms. Grout missing from tiles in bathroom. No stopper for bath tub to take a bath, floors needed a good scrubbing! How can you give a room to someone not knowing that it hadn’t been cleaned if you were the person in charge. I will definitely not stay there again.
Darlene, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The window in the front did not lock. The window in the bathroom did not lock and there was no screen. The outside furniture was in really bad shape. The beds were clean and nice.
Pam, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The owner of property should check on their “investment”! Didn’t end up staying. They did refund my charges. We checked in at 12:00 am, no lights on property including room doors. Didn’t feel safe.
K, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Only enough water for one hot shower. Had to wait hours for the second person to have enough hot water for their shower. The bed had a hump in the middle of it.
Julie, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The place is dirty and the staff was not knowledgeable or helpful! Will not stay there and do not recommend it to anyone!
Debbie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Need real coffee in rooms not just decaf
Julia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Check in was easy, staff super nice and easy to contact by text. Bed was super comfy. Ice machine broke 1st day there, not a huge deal. Need more bathroom shelves and small brooms to sweep. Limited tv channels, but not there to watch tv anyway. Another rug would be nice, cold floors. Nice stay overall.
Michelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

No ice machine, office did not adhere to office hours, cheep coffee maker with only 1 reg coffee bag to brew. Lights dimed and brightened constantly, i asked about it said it was because dryer was running concerning if elec was safe???? Shower head was at my neck level im 5'7". Floors the laminate was seperating at grooves extierior rails and trim peeling paint everything very weathered.
Rachelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a good place to stay. I was only there overnight and arrived late but the front desk person accommodated me and had my key ready to go. The downside was the ice machine was not working and I needed ice.
Tim, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

If by “charm” you mean “deferred maintenance” Elkhorn has it in spades. A bathroom door that was falling off its hinges and wouldn’t close. A board on the porch loose enough to cause you to stumble. A lightbulb in the bathroom that kept flickering out. Missing or broken window coverings. The list goes on. And it was pretty dang expensive on top of all of it.
Marc, 1-night trip
