As close to perfect as you can find

We chose the Elk Barn for our yearly student retreat. We anticipated a warm and inviting venue and relaxing location after viewing the pictures and reading the reviews. What we didn’t anticipate was that the property greatly exceed our expectations! First, Meggen is a perfect host. She was quick to offer help and to make sure our stay was the… Read more “As close to perfect as you can find”

Amazing Lodge

Pictures can’t do this property justice. The amenities are abundant and the attention to detail throughout the house is endless. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat while enjoying all the luxuries of a Five Star Lodge.

Yearly Family Vacation

The Elk Barn is a wonderful place to stay. You couldn’t ask for a more efficient and gracious host as you will find in Meggen. It is spacious and there is something for everyone. We have been to a lot of VRBO’s that were considered “luxurious “ but none was as clean and well maintained as this one. I can’t… Read more “Yearly Family Vacation”

A Rare Gem in the Wilderness

I’m not sure I can even adequately describe how wonderful this property made us feel. The Barn was immaculate, clean, every detail in function and decoration has been thought of and implemented. You are literally staying in luxury within a private rural setting in a lush valley with a crystal clear stream running through the property. Deer are seen daily… Read more “A Rare Gem in the Wilderness”

Perfect Place for Family!

This trip was a Christmas gift to our children and grandchildren. It was the perfect place for our family to enjoy the outdoors, play, visit, bond, relax and share meals together. We made memories that will stay with us for many years to come. Meggen met us at the property promptly at check in time. She gave our family a… Read more “Perfect Place for Family!”

Beautiful, Spacious, & Exceeded our Expectations!

We chose the Elk Barn Inn for our 2020 leaders retreat. The house itself is very beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything we needed (snacks, water, coffee, kitchen & bathroom supplies, etc.). There is a cinema room that was perfect for our leader training and planning sessions. All 24 people who came had a great time and enjoyed their… Read more “Beautiful, Spacious, & Exceeded our Expectations!”

It was beautifully decorated. There were several casual gathering spaces, a commercial quality kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and spectacular views. Meggen is a delightful host and made… Read more “Exceptional Mountain Inn”

Amazing Property and Host

We stayed at the Elk Barn Inn the end of July for our family reunion of 18 people. 1st thing I can say is the listing pictures do not do this property justice. Megan was the perfect host. She made sure that we had everything we could have possibly needed or wanted and was always prompt if we had any… Read more “Amazing Property and Host”

An Amazing Retreat

This place was awesome: very clean, everything worked, incredibly decorated, the pond was great for the kids (and adults) to play in, Meggen fully stocks it with waters/sodas/snacks/breakfast items, anything you could ever imagine needing in the kitchen (spices, utensils, etc.)… if you are okay with being away from a big city, you WILL NOT find a better place for… Read more “An Amazing Retreat”

Serene Getaway with Everything You Need

What an amazing property and house!! Meggen is also an excellent host. She was easily accessible, helpful, and stocks the house with a ton of food, drinks, and snacks. The rooms are all lovely and very private. The kitchen is awesome, as is the in-house cinema. Great for our family reunion and for large groups. The pond on the property… Read more “Serene Getaway with Everything You Need”

Exceeded Our Expectations

We took a group of high school seniors to the Elk Barn for their senior trip. We were excited by the pictures we had viewed online, but when we arrived, we were even more impressed. The house had every possible convenience. We made use of the kitchen and grill for our meals. We found everything we need and more in… Read more “Exceeded Our Expectations”

Very well thought out. Worked well for our family get-away.

Meggen has gone to great lengths to make sure all your needs are covered when you stay at the Elk Barn Inn. Kids and great grandparents could both be napping while twenty somethings were playing video games and dinner was being prepped – all without any interference from others. The decor is also something to be greatly admired. Indoor and… Read more “Very well thought out. Worked well for our family get-away.”

It was so much better than the pictures can tell. Meggen was an amazing hostess. So many details she thought of within the home and amenities to provide. Our team had a blast!

If you are looking for a group venue, this is it!!

Meggen has literally thought if everything that you could possibly need. The Elk Barn is BEAUTIFUL! Our mouths dropped as we entered and we still haven’t picked them up off the floor. Our weekend was AMAZING from the afternoon in the pond, to cooking dinner in the unreal kitchen. Girls weekend with 12 girls, everyone left relaxed and rested.

The Elk Barn Inn was a wonderful retreat for our family reunion!

So much space for our huge group and Meggen helped so much in setting everything up for us and being so responsive to our questions. It was clean and beautiful and well appointed. We loved cooking in the kitchen. The kids had fun at the pond and out of doors. We loved sitting outside and watching the deer.
