Beautiful stay in Elk

We had a wonderful stay. Staff was very nice, helpful, relaxed and knowledgeable. They were very enthusiastic. Dinner and breakfast were excellent in a small intimate setting. The hotel is historic and has amazing views, gardens and location in Elk.

The management and staff were quite lovely. We had to leave a day early because of a family issue at a wedding, and I broke down in front of the man there and he was SO KIND! (Which made me cry even more) A lovely location, and we loved the gazebo!

Our 2nd trip to this amazing property! Grounds are well maintained and room was clean and very comfortable. Slept like a baby with sliding door open and sound of oceans waves. Had dinner in restaurant and the quality was like a 5 star! Outstanding food! Photos are from our balcony. Breath taking views.

Melissa is the best friend/owner/manager whom we have ever met. The rooms were elegant and the restaurant rivals anything nearby or even France.

Great for that intimate secluded get a away. Far from hustle bustle of town, left alone while at the Inn. Great private beach access, garden was well kept and food was above standard. Rooms were great but could use minor TLC, poor window function and single ply toilet paper were a couple inconveniences that seemed out of place with the rest of the experience.

Nice B&B with beautiful setting looking out on ocean. Breakfast was great. Dinner was mixed. One appetizer and entree were excellent. The other appetizer and entree were so-so. (Onion soup came with cheese not melted but scorched, and pork entree was overcooked, dry, and tough.). Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Great scenic location!

Property, location and staff are top notch! Our accommodations were a disaster, however, as we reserved the last available room- Swallows Nest- very tiny - an oversized broom closet, but the worst was the bed where the upper half of the mattress sloped down and my spouse and I did not experience a good night’s sleep.

This place has lots of character and has a beautiful view, very kind staff, a semi private beach and bigtime coziness factor. I do think the room, parking and food was overpriced though. The linens and room cleanliness could have been a bit more hotel-like. Would come back if prices were more reasonable.

Enjoyed being able to arrive, spend an hour just sitting on the beach unwinding, then it was so easy to just go downstairs for an excellent dinner. In the morning having room service breakfast was so lovely! Staff was very friendly, place is remote, which is great if you don't mind being isolated in a resort!
