The Raging Elk Adventure Lodging

Only allowed individuals 18+ the ability to sit on the nice patio. Inconvenient when you have a family.

Overall I enjoyed our stay at the hostel- we stayed in a four bed family room, which was clean (as was the rest of the hostel) beds and bedding were comfy, and the kitchen contained what we needed to make meals. The location is within walking distance of some shops, cafe’s, restaurants. Unfortunately the family pod we stayed in was super hot throughout the night, as I assume the other family pods are as well. +28 Celsius our first night, the small fan in the room provides little relief on its own, and I found keeping the door and window open cooled the room slightly, but, even though the other guests never made me feel unsafe, I just prefer to have a closed door while sleeping, especially with kids in the room also.The temperature was not bearable with the room closed though. For the second night I bought an extension cord, propped the fan in the slightly opened door, barricaded with a chair because that made me feel better and the fan brought in enough cool night air that made the room comfortable for sleeping.

Great staff. Meant mostly for younger people. If you can’t do a steep flight of stairs you should avoid this one. We are seniors but were able to negotiate the stairs. If you don’t love listening to crooners, avoid Thursday which is karaoke night. For what we paid we were satisfied. Right in town and a short walk to the main street was a bonus.
