It was a great place for our family of 6. The suite was a perfect little “apartment like” room. It had a small kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms with plenty of space. The grounds were well kept and the breakfast was very good!

It was wonderful. Not just dog tolerant. Truly dog friendly! The two saunas were great and being able to reserve them for half-hour blocks made it really nice. Courteous staff. The best breakfast I’ve had at a hotel in years!

Blue elk in was great and had the amentities we need while keeping the small inn feel. Our room was huge and easily accomodated our family of 4 plus our crazy dog. We loved it being quiet and out of the downtown rush but an easy walk into town. Take the path through the park- it's beautiful!
