Every single thing was perfect. Comfy beds. Great view. Friendly staff. Good pricing. Good breakfast. Great location. Surrounded by beauty. Restful quiet stay.

We had a very cozy stay at the Blue Elk this Oktoberfest weekend. Our third floor king room was pretty basic, with a comfy bed, desk, and a balcony. The bathroom is pretty small with only one sink. The hot breakfast was nice. We loved all the blue elk touches all over the lodge. We made several trips into town using the cut-through in the backyard. It's about a mile walk to the center of town. We also walked around Enchantment/Waterfront park which has trail entrances close to the back of the hotel. Our dog felt very welcomed. Next time I will probably request one of the ground floor rooms with an outside door which would be so convenient for taking the dog out. It was very quiet - we enjoyed sitting on the balcony taking in the view. Can't wait to be back!

2 bedroom Suite - Living Room

Exceeded my expectations completely! The whole ground / rooms seem newly remodeled. We got the two bedroom suite (was around $1100 for two nights) and it was large, spacious, and very clean. Such a cozy fireplace too! Pool / hot tub seemed sort of summer camp-ish but they were clean. We didn't use the saunas but they looked awesome. Breakfast was obviously homemade and delicious. Chorizo breakfast tacos one day, and fluffy biscuits and gravy the other. Staff was very accommodating. I love how blatantly dog friendly the place was too.

This is the beautiful blue lighting at the Blue Elk Hotel. Quite stunning.

We were very pleased with the quiet peaceful location. Clean rooms, wonderful hot breakfast served until 10am. The staff was very helpful and courteous, front desk lady told us where to park free for 3 hrs downtown (next to the City offices). The hotel is dog friendly even tho we didn't bring ours it was nice to see pets.

The lights at night are nice

This place is Amazing!! Such beautiful Inn and the staff was so thoughtful and caring. Dog friendly, beyond compare!! The fenced in courtyard, firepits, landscaping and pool are so well.maintained. The front desk provided blankets and totals for the dogs even to make them feel welcome. We'll be back and highly recommended.

Hot breakfast - biscuits & gravy, sausages, scrambled eggs and coffee

Really lovely hotel, lots of parking, and within walking distance to downtown. My room was on the second floor - very comfortable and beautiful artwork on the walls. Bathroom was clean, and had dispensers for hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner instead of individual sets for each guest. Instead of key cards, you get an actual physical set of keys to your room - one to open your hotel room and another to open the front door after the staff locks it at 8:30pm. There are no staff around overnight, but there are instructions in the room if you need to get in touch with someone after hours. I enjoyed the hot breakfast they provided - very tasty and the staff was on top of refilling the food and keeping the area clean. Overall, this was a very serene and relaxing place to stay.

Pluto and Bowser love it here

Me and my Golden Retrievers loved it here. The enclosed patio entrance was definitely a rare dog-friendly amenity. The hot tub was nice and bubbly. Make sure to book a time slot if you want to use one of the saunas. Breakfast was upper tier for continental style and had different options each day. If you're looking for a super dog friendly stay in an amazing village a stones throw away from epic skiing here you go.

A cute hotel just outside of the main drag. Parking is right in front, so we could easily see our van from our window...as well as a pretty mountain. Check-in was easy and casual...the place definitely has a small business feel. We walked through the park to downtown and to our end of the strip to the closest restaurants. It's a bit of a haul no matter your destination, but was better than getting back in the car. The room was nice, updated and very clean with the exception of dust buildup on the chairs. The mattress was a bit soft for me, but not too bad. It seemed the entire customer base wanted breakfast right when they started serving so it was a bit crowded. Breakfast was prepped to be hot and ready right on time...not the best hot breakfast I've had at a hotel, but certainly not bad. There is no staff on site overnight, so if you leave early you leave your key. Overall a great place to stay if you like quiet and don't want to be right in the busy zone.

Will be back again So many amenities Breakfast/coffee/tea included, Pool, hot tub, sauna, bicycles, corn hole, outdoor lounge area. We'll taken care off, great staff

Breakfast was AMAZING I never thought a complimentary hotel breakfast could be so good. Biscuits and gravy, omelets, and many other options. The one thing that ties this hotel all together is the location. You can see downtown Leavenworth from your room and just need to cross the street to get into town. Makes vacationing so relaxing knowing the hotel is a 2 minute walk away. A little pricey in my opinion but you get what you pay for!

The location is wonderful as you can walk to the Leavenworth village in just a few minutes. The room was comfortable, the bed plush and plenty of pillows to choose from. Although there was an adjoining door, thankfully noise was not an issue during our stay. We had the complimentary breakfast on our first morning here, which is a nice perk of staying here. I liked the omelet with onions and peppers. The food was OK overall. We got a margarita pizza from the pub restaurant which was good. It's nice to have a food option available right in the hotel. Went into the pool once - it's located outside. It was refreshing to cool off. The size of the pool is on the smaller side, and so once people come in and get noisy, naturally it isn't so relaxing. Would've stayed in longer, but oh well. The first night, my family member told me that our room was out of conditioner and she used the little bit remaining, and that we were also low on shampoo. I went to the front desk and requested more shampoo and conditioner. The desk attendant said you just had to push the container hard (there are dispensers opposed to individual travel-size bottles). I went back to the room and only got a few drops of conditioner to use. The following day, we asked a housekeeping team member to check our dispensers. She ALSO said you just had to push the dispenser hard. But when they came to our room later that day, we saw that the dispensers had been filled up because finally there was product in each and plenty to use. Not sure why it couldn't have been fixed in the first place, and it was assumed we weren't using them correctly. Once we checked out from the hotel, my family member remarked it was strange that the person at the front desk just promptly took our two room key cards and didn't say anything, like briefly asking how our stay was, or simply just a quick 'thank you' for staying here. Maybe it was just particularly busy.... but something like that can go a long way.

Almost everyone we encountered was helpful, friendly, and cheerful. Food- 10/10! I hate eating out and I was thrilled with the choices amd quality and amount of food you got. Yes I know the hotel is pricey, but I've never stayed at an inclusive resort where the food was this good. Fresh, seasonal, fun... all the things! Loved the dessert bar, although it would have been nice to have a few more options with chocolate:) HOTEL/CLEANLINESS/ROOMS- GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got in last minute over the first weekend of October and spent 3 nights in a balcony room facing the river with a fireplace. What else could you want? The entire hotel and lounging areas are so comfortable and beautifully maintained. SPA- Didn't do any extra treatments, but we did use the main spa area nightly and on our last day. Fun for a change! Lots of options! Spa staff was over the top sweet! Fresh towels, robes, water, tea.... felt soooo pampered! CONS (not too many) Service- There were a few staff members who probably need an attitude check. When guests are paying almost 1k a night, all staff should know the answers to your questionsls, and no we shouldn't feel rushed to leave you alone so you can continue your conversation with your co worker. Maybe a staff training on customer service should be on the monthly meeting? FOOD- NO COMPLAINTS HERE! HOTEL/ROOMS/CLEANLINESS- While our room was very nice, there were a few items to note that we're a bit run down. The bathroom floor had stains, the actual bathroom itself wasnt that nice despite the marble tub, and the shower took forever to get hot. The room was also very hot and we couldn't lower the temperature. We ended up sleeping with the balcony doors open. It would also be nice for them to have water stations on each floor, as you needed to walk downstairs to get water (and you definitely want to stay hydrated after spaaing all day!) SPA- my biggest issue was the water and room temps. Not hot enough. While I have never utilized a spa resort, I am used to using the steam room at my local YMCA, and going to a local Korean spa in my area. The temps here are way too low. I sat in the "hottest" steam room for 40 mins and left because I got bored. The hot tub outside was fine for 5 minutes, then my body adjusted and it felt like a bath. The "heated" marble and water beds never heated up. In the evenings when we went there weren't a lot if people- so it wasnt due to the doors being open a ton. For me, yes it was nice, but definitely not as therapeutic as I need. The extra scents and ideas are lovely- but with everything being "warm".... I was underwhelmed especially for the price point. TIPS FOR 1st TIMERS! 1. Go on a week day and pay the extra fee per person for early/late use of amenities. Save some money, enjoy the food and spa, and leave within 30 hours all for under 2k! Id ask about this when you call to book to see the pricing as Im sure it changes all the time. 2. Bring extra water for your room (if youre like me and dont want to keep walking downstairs to fill up.) 3. Go during the poopy time of year, or during the snow. I will admit I am not a lounger, so we did a ton of activities during our visit outside of the hotel. If you come to simply be here- cold, wet, rainy and/or magical snow time is where its at to truly hunker down and get your money's worth. If you cant sit still or relax- this isnt your place. 4. Call and check the website daily if you want to go sooner than later. They book out months in advance, but I snagged a cancellation within 3 weeks! Overall would I go again.... depending on why and when- YES! Would I make this a yearly trip.... not for my style of vacation. I've stayed at some VERY nice places, and while the Post was lovely, I cant say it was FAT travel. My 40th Birthday spent here was such a fun adventure and worth it... but if youre into 5 star exclusive perfection, the Post still has a few details to work on. Thanks for the great stay- see you in a few years!

The pictures on the website do not do any justice to how beautiful this place is, NONE!! As reluctant as I was to share my experience because I wanted to keep this place a secret (lol), I just had to! Keep in mind, the ambience of this Inn is part of Leavenworth so don't expect it to be completely modernized or contemporary. The staff were very nice and friendly. Always smiled as we passed through. The amenities available during your stay, was great! There are many more things available/ additional areas to this place that I didn't access during my stay. The dinning area is very clean and large with many windows to view the back of the property as well as, the snow capped mountains. The rooms are quite big and bathrooms are huge. Both very clean! The beds and pillows were soooo comfortable. In the room, there are ACs and a door that leads to a small balcony with a patio table and chairs for the outer rooms. This area isn't a personal-ish space because there are no walls separating the other rooms and during our stay, we did not experience other patrons utilizing this access to enter nor exit therefore It wasn't an issue for us at all. The upper floors have access to the stairs going up or down to the parking stalls. I, personally, did not feel it was a security issue at all. No noise issue at all as well, very quiet and peaceful. I was able to checkout the family/game room and it is large with everything they say is available. There was nothing impersonal about this space even though It's a shared space. The 2 lounge areas make you feel like you are at home. We actually sat in the lounge area on the second floor to relax and figure out where we were going for dinner. I've seen families having lunch and others just doing their thing. The lounge areas were kept clean. Couches were comfortable too. We were in walking distance to the promenade and never felt unsafe. In summary, I really needed much RRR and the Enzian Inn did it for me!! Everything was perfect!! All that I experienced here, was intentional and I felt important. Thank you, Enzian Inn, for a wonderful experience and accommodations! Note: Our time spent here, was at the end of February 2026.

It had a small microwave and a good sized small fridge. There was also a nice oscillating fan which ended up being very important. The room has AC but the air conditioning unit can't really keep up. You can't set the thermostat lower than 70 and the thermometer in the room showed 74-76 most of the time on a day in the mid 80s. Combined with the fan, it was enough to sleep comfortably. I'm unsure what would happen if the temperature rises to the 90s or 100s though. You have to climb stairs to the second floor. The stairs are inside. I'll post a picture of them. There's no elevator and no first floor guest rooms so it's something to know about if this matters to you. The parking lot is right across the pedestrian only street. I might stay there again. My only issue is that I like the room colder than it was, but I think the good fan was a smart touch and I'm glad I didn't have to go ask for one.

The stay came with free parking which was a bonus in Leavenworth because it's such a walkable area. The location of this LOGE couldn't be more convenient. We were able to walk to all the shops, restaurants, and many of the sights in town within minutes. Check in actually happened at the Iconoclast Cafe, where the staff apparently double as baristas and hotel reception. Nonetheless everyone was friendly and helpful despite having to take the time to complete some of the check in information since I didn't book direct and didn't receive the links in advance. Even so, I liked the hotel and room layout as my friend and I had two separate beds and there was even a hammock hanging above them, which was such a fun, unexpected feature. The space had an outdoorsy modern feel with thoughtful elements that made it feel unique and cozy (headlamp, cooler, rumpl blanket, etc.). Even though we didn't end up using the LOGE app or the complimentary bikes, we appreciated that those amenities were available and it's definitely something I would take advantage of on a longer stay and/or at another LOGE hotel. We also didn't check out the beergarden! I'd say one of the only downsides was that the building itself felt a little old though I guess the charm of the space and overall experience made up for it. All in all, a great stay for a short getaway and an event better introduction to the LOGE hotels. I'd happily stay again and look forward to checking out other locations!
