The staff was really kind and accommodating. While mostly clean there was a little bit of things missed. Staff was very responsive when we requested help with the tub as well as the fireplace but we were able to get them sorted really quickly. The breakfast left something to be desired.

The Blue Elk Inn is about a 20 minute walk to the heart of Leavenworth. Rooms and facilities are in good condition and clean. We stayed during the winter, so it was a busy time, but the Inn is still very quiet. In fact, they have noise policies, so it may not be good for loud children or big groups. The hot tub was open but tiny. Breakfast was underwhelming, but there are options in town worth venturing out for.
