Nice getaway in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!!

This quaint Inn offers a nice getaway in Wild Wonderful West Virginia!! My sister and I stayed in the Birdsong Suite (2 rooms/beds). Not the Greenbrier of course but a lovely place with helpful, hospitable staff. The Cafe’s meals (though limited) were delicious. A nice getaway location or nice place to stay when traveling through.

Great find in the middle of nowhere

Older house turned bnb not far from flat woods monster museum and big foot museum. Nicest place in the area of like 500 people. Food decent and prices okay. House creaks like it's old which it is. Gorgeous wood work. Nice outdoor places. Overall happy to stay on our way through WV.

A hidden gem

Good location to enjoy the Elk River and Lake nearby. Sutton as a town is trying to revitalize, and this hotel having a restaurant is very important. Meals were well prepared and thoughtful, and concerned about dietary restrictions. The historic hotel is full of architectural details of a more gilded age. We stayed on the Rainflower Suite and it was a good value for the price by far. Excellent value for the money.

Disappointed

Room smelled musky and moldy, had to get a candle from front desk. Bathroom floor, tub and sink had black hair every where. Booked for two nights only stayed one .

Traveling through

We were traveling through the area and picked this hotel using Google maps and Hotels.com. We stayed in the carriage house, Lake room with a king bed. It was comfortable. We had dinner in the cafe. Very good food. Quiet, comfortable, interesting area. The 2 women running it were very helpful. Since it's a small staff, don't arrive before 4pm or you might have to wait. We would stay here again

Adorable Local Hideout!

Overall wonderful experience! The glamping dome was cozy and clean with a well functioning AC unit and comfortable bed. Breakfast was a delicious quiche with sausage, potatoes, and an orange. I was just expecting a typical scrambled egg or waffle but I was pleasantly surprised with the offerings. Great stay for couples!
Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The house we stayed in was quite old, but the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the updated kitchen served our needs quite well. Also, the grounds are beautiful and the view of the river is so beautiful. Great advantage to have a restaurant inside the property. The food was good. We visited Sutton dam and had a great day enjoying nature.Sutton is a beautiful small town and the Elk River Hotel is a great place to stay if you are living/traveling through the area.

Beautiful Bed & Breakfast style hotel with spacious main house rooms or glamping domes out back. Great base camp for your next West Virginia adventure.

The property is cool old building. The carriage house we stayed in was good not great. Property could be great with better care. Breakfast wasn't until 8:30am so we had to leave and eat elsewhere.
