We prefer to sell both businesses together because of income to buyer but can separate. There is another business across road also for sale. (gas station and cafe). Elk Creek borders backside of motel property - trout fishing.

Come enjoy a summer full of wildlife and flowers. Herds of Elk can be watched
in the
meadows in spring as grass becomes green and deep. Deer and fawns roam
the meadows and moose are seen in town and out of town. Once a lake the meadows are
surrounded by mountains. In 1861 gold was discovered and there is still gold to
be found in the streams. Population is close to 370 more or less depending on
the time of year.
Visit us in the winter and bring your snowmobile for over 350 miles of groomed trails and lots of room to play in the snow. Cross-country ski into the backcountry and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
