We really enjoyed the spacious elk valley retreat. This is the second time we have stayed there and everything was clean and the beds so comfortable. The primary bedroom is private and spacious and the second bedroom is comfortable too. A great entry to leave wet or muddy clothes or ice chests. The surroundings are so peaceful and many places to walk and enjoy nature. Quiet back roads and many views of nature. I love the tasteful art and a well appointed kitchen. Leah thost communicates quickly and very helpful.

We are glad you enjoyed the home over the holiday. We were impressed that even though you brought your dog, we did not find dog hair. We would love to have you back.

We stayed at the Elk Valley Retreat for 4 nights and enjoyed every moment of it! When we arrived everything was spotless, there was a personal welcome note from the hosts, and we immediately fell in love with the house as we walked in and saw all the spaces and rooms. It's very cozy & comfortable, nicely decorated, has beautiful & interesting art, and there's everything you could possibly need there. The property is beautiful, expansive and so relaxing. To be surrounded with pastures, trees, horses, cows and wildlife was a welcome break from the city. We saw over 40 dear on the gravel road leading to the house and on the property. One evening there were deer on the front lawn very close to the house looking in at us as we were looking out at them. We appreciated having a huge entryway/mudroom that was separate from the house for all of our shoes and jackets. We felt like every detail was covered down to the detailed binders on the house & area. We look forward to staying here again!

Amazing stay

This place is truly something special. The quiet, outdoor time is just unmatched. Such fun snow play right outside. We loved every second. This is one of the most well stocked VRBO's we have ever stayed in. These hosts have thoughts of everything. Leah was incredibly responsive and enjoyable to communicate with. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect Getaway

We stayed at Elk Valley Retreat for a long weekend with our two dogs in February. It was the perfect getaway from the city. The dogs loved playing in the snow and we loved disconnecting and enjoying the scenery with a mug of hot cocoa. It's a beautiful property and relatively secluded, with plenty of acreage to explore. The main house is clean and cozy with well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Watching the deer walk by is a added bonus. We counted 15 of them at once!

Rural Beauty

A stunning hobby farm tucked away in the foothills. Warm, cosy and beautifully appointed with an actual full kitchen and utensils to match. As an added bonus Christmas decorations were added before our arrival which was a delightful finishing touch. An amazing host who provided clear instructions for getting to the property, was always responsive to requests, and offered flexibility only really found in those who have lived in the mountains during winter. If you are anything like us you will leave wishing you had stayed longer.

Never been more relaxed

I sat outside with deer surrounding me. I used my phone so little because I was at such peace there. The kitchen has a gas stove so I wanted to do nothing but cook in the kitchen while looking over the wild animals in the yard. I have never felt such peace. I will return when the elk are going through the field. Staying at this home has only reinforced my need to move away from the city.

Beautiful Christmas Family Reunion

Elk Valley Retreat was a beautiful, well-appointed, homey gathering place for our family Christmas gathering. So much space and calming mountain views, wildlife crossing the property every evening, a LOT of snow and cold weather combined to make our stay amazingly peaceful.
