    Exactly what I hoped it would be! No doilies and stinky potpourri. Lots of really cool art from southeast Asia. Beautiful house and grounds. Incredibly friendly and welcoming proprietor. The food was incredible-- everything was home made. We loved it!

    This was our first bed and breakfast experience. We stayed in the Raffles room and it was absolutely beautiful. The double whirlpool in the room was very relaxing and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. We would definitely recommend The Elephant Walk to our friends and Family.

    Lovely Journey!

    My wife and I loved the whole experience. We only wished we would have got it earlier to enjoy it more. The rooms are magical and take you to another place truly unique. We arrived to a our room which had chilled Champagne ready, along with fruit, nuts, cheese, and crackers. The crackers were unique and delicious. The room was lovely and when Greg showed us to our room he stoked the fire. My wife and I were able to have a far away vacation while being still close to home. The Breakfast was fantastic. We loved the conversations and stories from Sasha. It was like sitting at a table with friends we have never met before. It was so hard to leave but we did buy a gift certificate to come back when we will be able to stay longer and take more in. We have been to the Elephant Walk twice now and will return again this summer.

    We received a gift certificate from our daughter for a two-night stay at the Elephant Walk and were not sure what to expect. Whatever our expectations, they were exceeded. Sasha and Kim were gracious hosts and our accommodations (Garden Suite) were more than comfortable. The champagne, cheese and chocolate were pleasant surprises and the breakfasts were amazing. We frequently stay at B and B's and the Elephant Walk is a keeper. Like MacArthur, we shall return.

    I purchased a night at the Elephant for my wife and I for our anniversary. This was our second stay here and it was as excellent as the first. The room is exquisitely decorated with a number of artifacts from abroad. The fireplace kept the room toasty warm and the jacuzzi was large enough for both myself and my wife. There was also the nice touch of a single cup coffer maker as well. The bed was a little harder than I'd like but was still nice. Sasha provided us with wine, cheese and assorted snacks for our stay and made sure we wanted for nothing. The room is a little pricey but totally worth the cost. Breakfast the next morning was excellent with four courses (fruit, bread, main entree and dessert) that were all well made and very tasty. Overall we were very pleased with our visit and hope to visit again in the summer. Thank you Sasha.
