Blue Elk Inn – A Favorite for Families in Leavenworth

The hotel offers 27 hotel rooms and four family suites, each with kitchenettes, dining rooms, and living rooms. The Cascade Suite contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and four balconies. Many rooms include fireplaces, balconies, and mountain views, with superior king rooms offering private patios with gas fire pits.

An outdoor heated pool and a year-round hot tub are set in a tranquil garden with two fire tables. Two saunas (one wet, one dry) and a fitness center are available on site. Summer guests can borrow one of three complimentary bicycles, and the property provides direct access to hiking in Wenatchee National Forest.

A hot buffet breakfast is included in all stays, featuring scrambled eggs, sausage, French toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, and cereals. The breakfast menu rotates daily, with options like biscuits and gravy or breakfast burritos. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate remain available in the lobby all day.

Dogs are welcome in all rooms without weight limits, and the hotel provides a dog blanket, paw towel, and treats upon arrival. Ground-floor patio rooms include a fenced gas fire pit, allowing dogs to go in and out freely. A dog treat and poop bag station is available at the front desk.

The hotel sits less than a mile from downtown Leavenworth, a 10-15 minute walk via Waterfront Park. It is directly across from Leavenworth Adventure Park and the Alpine Coaster, with the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest trailheads nearby. Guests can also walk to Leavenworth Summer Theater and the Nutcracker Museum.
