Are there bears in the area?

 Yes, bears are native to the region, but sightings are rare. To avoid attracting wildlife:

• Do not leave food or trash outside

• Always lock cabin doors and windows

• Dispose of all waste promptly in designated bins. We also include a short wildlife safety guide in your welcome kit.

Can I swim in the swimming hole?

Absolutely. It’s one of the most magical parts of the property—fed by spring water from the mountain, it stays around 50°F and is incredibly refreshing on warm days.

Is there cell service or Wi-Fi?

We offer strong, secure Wi-Fi in each cabin. Most carriers also have service, but Elka is designed to help you unplug when you choose to.

Is Elka family-friendly?

Yes, two of our cabins accommodate four guests comfortably, and kids love the trail network, fire pits, and creek. However, the property is best suited to children over 6 due to the natural terrain.

Are pets allowed?

We love animals, but we’re currently a pet-free property to preserve the native wildlife and ensure all guests—especially those with allergies—are comfortable.
