Little Elk Meadows Lodge Bed and Breakfast

Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. The upstairs room with private bath was very comfortable and quiet. Dog lovers will love the Jack Russells.

We were fortunate to spend a week at Little Elk and enjoyed bringing our mini poodle with us. She loved the fenced yard, playing with the resident dogs, and challenging the goats! We chose the larger bedroom with the en suite bath for privacy and it was very comfortable. The large walk-in closet was a nice surprise since we had a week's worth of clothes and shoes. Double sink vanity was also a plus. WiFi was easy to access. Breakfast was always yummy. Only had 3 minor troubles: AT&T cell service is nonexistent; ear plugs were a must so the chiming clock in the great room didn't wake me repeatedly; and the door to our room did not lock. Don't miss eating cherry pie at the Cherry Pie place (your landmark on where to turn off the highway to the Lodge); and enjoy BBQ at Smokin' Dave's in Lyons.

We visited the Little Elk Mountain last weekend, and had a wonderful stay! The place was exquisite! Mary and Randy were wonderful hosts! We started our afternoon with some ice cream at the Colorado Cherry Co., had an amazing dinner at The Villa Tatra across the street, and spent a beautiful evening here. Mary mad an excellent breakfast and we enjoyed some great conversation with her and the other guests. We will most definitely be back!

Perfect place if you want a little peace and quiet but still want to be within 10-15 minutes of Estes park, Lyons and Rocky Mt National Park. We stayed 4 nights and felt like family by the time we left. Very accomodating, friendly and helpful hosts. Beautiful B&B, breakfast every day was delicious! We took Randy's Brew class and had an absolute blast! Highly recommend!

our room was comfortable and well-supplied with everything we could need. The hostess was very accommodating of our needs. Our only complaint was that we wanted to use the hot tub, but we didn't realize that it needed over an hour to warm up.

This place was amazing. Randy and Mary were excellent hosts. And Mary makes sure that breakfast is made whenever you want it the next morning. Great people, great place, and a great view. Will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our two night stay! This B&B had everything we needed for comfort and relaxation. Mary and Randy were great hosts and meticulously maintain the property and whip up a hearty breakfast! They know the area wery well and made some great recommendations on things to do both in Lyons and RMNP. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will try to stay here again when we return to the area! Thank you Mary & Randy!

Everything was wonderful. We can hardly wait to return again!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Mary and Randy went above and beyond as our hosts and guides...you definitely will get to see attractions that only locals know about. Very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere...felt like home!!

Our stay was wonderful. A relaxing room, evening in the hot tub and a wonderful breakfast to finish it off. The owners even mailed me my cloths that I had left by mistake. If you choose to stay here, you will enjoy your visit..

For the second year in a row, I have stayed at the Little elk meadows Lodge Bed and Breakfast during the Boulder Independence Softball Tournament. I watch games in both Boulder and Longmont so the location is great. Always get great service and a great night sleep. I would highly recommend staying here. Mark

My wife and I stay at many b&b's because we love the ambiance that is the hallmark of these this type of lodging. We found this one in the mountains NW of Denver. It is an amazing place. The first thing we noticed was it was not in a city. Estes Park is a few miles to the west and Lyons is a few miles east. Secluded. The building is beautiful and our room was on the bottom floor (out of three floors) and it had a hot tub just outside the sliding glass door to our room. Mary cooked the guests a great breakfast which included several kinds of meat, eggs, fresh fruit, drinks, and great coffee. We are never in a hurry so we stayed two days. Randy took us four wheeling in a Hummer, of all things, through some of the prettiest country in the west. We wanted some tourist stuff, so we just drive over to Estes Park. There are hundreds of gift shops. We did find, however, a little charity gift shop that had everything. The Stanley Hotel is there, too. Stephen King's "The Shining" was shot there. Trophy elk were everywhere. The scenery is spectacular. Mary and Randy were perfect hosts, maybe next time we will go on a hike. We went in June and I think we will go back in mid winter.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Little Elk Meadows Lodge. The hospitality here made us feel at home as soon as we walked in the door. Randy gave us a personal tour of the lodge, making sure to point out all the details. If you get a chance, come stay there. You won't regret it!

We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and this was the perfect getaway. Randy and Mary were amazing host and the breakfast are amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from daily life. Randy and Mary are very welcoming and my wife and I will definitely stay there again.

Randy and Mary were so hospitable. We did a winery tour and had so much fun with Randy as our guide. He knew the places to hit up and looked for a few new places for us to try. My husband home-brews and had a blast talking to Randy. We even got the first tastes of some of his home-brews. Mary is an excellent cook and great hostess. The room upstairs was very comfortable. We can't wait to come back and spend some more time exploring.

Mary & Randy offer beautiful rooms with ample space in both the bedrooms and common areas. They are both interesting and friendly hosts who assured our comfort and happily satisfied bellies in the morning. The setting of the B&B is beautiful, as it is enveloped with the foothills and wildlife! They also offer some fun touring opportunities for this beautiful area of the country! We decided that we will definitely forego staying at the upscale Stanley Hotel next time we are in the area in exchange for this B&B!

Perfect place to get away! Staff is friendly and gives the experience an at home cozy feel. Rooms were clean and quiet and the decor was just eclectic enough to pique our fascination! My wife and I stayed for our 5th anniversary and usually stay at the Stanley Hotel. We may have just decided to switch traditions. Thank you!!!

Our sincere apologies that it took us this long to review! My wife and I booked this beautiful B&B for our first wedding anniversary in 2011, and the day we checked in was the very day we found out my wife was pregnant! We also had our rambunctious Australian Shepherd with us. Randy and Mary were excited for us and helped us celebrate by watching our Aussie as we spent a night on the town. Our dog had plenty of room to run and stay out of trouble. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very private. The next morning, they cooked a delicious breakfast, and then gave us a short tour of the surrounding area, even letting our wet dog back into their truck. Couldn't have picked a better place to stay and could not have had kinder hosts, and we will definitely return when we are back out west again. Our daughter, Madelyn was born just a few days ago, on April 14th! Many thanks for your above-and-beyond hospitality!

We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. Mary and Randy were wonderful.

Extremely friendly and very welcoming. Highly recommend it. The hostess made the most delicious breakfast and was quite entertaining. We arrived with two little kids and had the bigger room upstairs. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved all the animals outside. Will definitely try again in the summer.

We went up to look at their venue and there is no way we could ever say no to it! It is so beautiful and large enough for a large wedding party. Mary is wonderful and so helpful! Even with a scrap booking team hanging out there they day we went to look, it was very clean! Every room was incredible! Fire pit's, hot tub, grill, pond, garden. How can anyone do their wedding any other way? Ceremony in one area, reception in another and your room all in one spot. No need to hire a driver! A great location and wonderful deal also! Go up there and check it out, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about!!

We stayed in July for 10 days! Mary and Randy were very accomodating and their home is beautiful. We had the perfect mixture of privacy and mingling with the owners and other guests. The grounds are lovely and the day tours that they took us on made our vacation extra special. We feel as though we made new friends and can't wait to go back.

The house and room were very nice but the best part were the owners.

As owners of a vacation rental in Estes Park, CO we wanted to get away somewhere new, away from the hustle & bustle of town. Finding Little Elk Meadows was truly a blessing. The Innkeepers Randy & Mary were the most delightful,welcoming hosts. The wide range of amenities offered was beyond our expectations. My 6 yr old thought it was so cool to have her very own special toothbrush put out on the bathroom counter just for her, including her favorite sparkle toothpaste. We were able to grill our own meals, make smores at the firepit while enjoying the evening stars as well as soak in the hot tub. Our room was wonderful, spacious and had the most amazing view. Plenty of towels provided for in room and hottub area. Anything we needed or requested was at our disposal. Breakfast was amazing, such unique recipes and great conversation. Such an unforgetable weekend. We will definately refer friends & family and another stay is already in our near future. Ryan, Denise & Brynly Westminster, CO

We recently spend 3 days at Little Elk Meadows B&B while attending a conference at Estes Park. This place is a gem! The owners are so gracious, hospitable, generous, and helpful. This home is beautifully decorated, and feels like "home away from home" and all that means to people. Our room was next to the hot tub, and we watched a lightning storm off in the distance while soaking in the therapy pool. We could hear the little waterfall outside in their garden pool while having morning coffee. It's such a beautiful setting. There is so much to do in the area. The owners are amazing, and very interesting to talk with about the history and culture of this area. They fix a wonderful breakfast, and are so accomodating. It was simply one of the best B&B experiences I've ever had. Their place is easy to find, and located just a few miles out of the more crowded venue of Estes Park. It's the perfect place for guests who enjoy peace and quiet at an affordable price, and who desire to be renewed in mind, body, and spirit. You get so much more than you could ever imagine at this B&B. The only thing we noticed when we arrived was that the bathroom had been used by other guests, there was only one wash cloth for the two of us, and we would have liked another dry towel to use after hot tubbing, but these were quite insignificant in light of the whole experience! Mary and Randy are the most wonderful people, and we still give them five stars in spite of tiny little things that don't matter anyway!

After hiking and tent camping for nearly 2 weeks, my fiance and I needed a place to rest up and refresh before flying out of the Denver, CO area. We stayed at the Little Elk Meadow B&B just outside of the RMNP. We found it satisfactory to our needs. The owners were friendly and provided a delightful and large, clean room. The breakfast was exceptional. We would stay here again. Also, the owners are open to having guests with pets and young children.
