I hate to leave a poor review because there were some things we liked about this place including its proximity to the river and the nearby covered picnic and stage area. However the sheets on the beds were not clean, and there are some areas where the owners need to reinvest/rebuild a bit such as the sink. It's a decent roadside motel, and the staff are nice.

It’s fine as a simple lodging. It was the only one I could find that let you bring dogs. Rusty and faded fixtures, no a/c, the staff was never at the front desk or answered the phone but when I did find them they were great. Clean sheets, floors and bathroom just worn fixtures. Fine for camping and fishing or short stopovers.

We live the peaceful area. My Favorite time is spend on the porch listening to the birds. We never saw deer by the road, eating grass. There is a swing in the grass area by the office. The tree keeps it shady.

Our cabin was very cute and comfortable and was very clean. But we had to hang a towel over one window for privacy as the curtain was not big enough. And another curtain had holes torn in it. One blind was also broken up. But it was quite cozy otherwise and comfortable. Beautiful setting and convenient parking right by the cabin. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Our truck would not start in the morning and they offered to help us.

Don't expect a 5 star experience. The rooms are rustic with noisey heaters and appliances. The beds & pillows are fantastic and that's kind of the point. It's a great place to sleep and the price is very good.

The Elkhorn Lodge is very rustic, and simple. That is okay, but we found it rather dirty. The dresser drawers didn't work (fell out on the floor), old coffee from prior guests still in the pot, lawn furniture on the porch falling apart, lamp shades torn, and in general a run down unkept appearance. The beds were comfortable and the fan kept the room nice and cool. The gentleman in the office was very courteous. We would not choose to stay here again.

Lovely location and proximity to the river was great. Bed was uncomfortable and the fitted sheet wouldn't stay on the mattress well. No "to code" outlet in the bathroom and the sink dripped badly. Mini-refrigerator froze half the food I placed in there even on the lowest setting. Ice machine had a Tupperware canister for the scoop.....very unsanitary. Great covered porch seating outside room and the room was actually really quiet even with other guests next door.

The linens and towels were clean but very cheap and the property had certainly seen better days! The inside windows and bathroon mirror were dirty. The screen door needed a new screen and didn't latch, the only pan to cook with was stuck to the cabinet floor and was very scratched , the soap dispenser in the bathroom was cracked, lighting in the main room very poor and front porch floor was dilapidated and in need of repair. The cabin was serviceable but way too highly priced. The property didn't seem maintained.

Front desk lady gave us the key to the room. It wasn’t cleaned so went back she gave us another one. Whole place was overgrown grass trash all on the grounds. The screens were off the windows old and run down inside. We went ahead and stayed but was ready to get out of there. No a/c don’t really need it but fan provided didn’t work and smoke detector was gone off the ceiling. Poor management at a place with potential. Expedia needs to cancel this place off their site so others don’t make mistake and book this place.
