Guest Reviews

5 Stars. My second stay at Elk Lake and I had a great experience both visits. Beautiful location and very friendly staff. I’ll be visiting again!

Bert

One of the best places to visit in the Cascade Mountains is Elk Lake resort. Beautiful scenery, small lake with clear blue water and surrounded by mountains. Iconic small resort that has new owners and already the energy involved is infectious.

Allyson B

The location is beautiful and the variety of camping, RV, Glamping, vintage cabins or deluxe cabins can meet so many budgets! Would definitely recommend!

Rebecca S

Elk Lake Resort is amazing. With the new owners they are improving everything! It was really getting run down but now it is clean, and the staff is so helpful, kind, courteous and friendly.

We had an incredible time this Christmas Eve. Our family booked the snowcat shuttle up to the lodge where their chefs made a fabulous 3 course meal before shuttling us back down the mountain. The lodge was like a Christmas dream. The staff was incredibly nice and personable. We definitely recommend. It was quite the experience to remember. Shout out to Buffalo & Amy, very cool people.
