We stayed in the rain song room in the back. Very cute and clean, with a balcony that overlooked the river. The staff went over and above with an issue with a neighbor when I requested help. Staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout my stay.I loved the cute dining room for breakfast. It was $10, But that's a good price nowadays. The property is old and the living area of my room got a little warm during the excessively hot day, but plenty cool in the bedroom to sleep. Having an EV charger for free next door was an added bonus. I would definitely stay again

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.

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!

Overlooked

What a nice find. We've been to West Virginia for years with family roots. When this property showed up or Hotels.com, it was a pleasant surprise. Very quaint and cozy on a quiet street on the banks of the Elk River in Braxton Co., WV. Called to check on us as we were running late, offered to hold the Cafe open for dinner. Escorted to your room. The history of it's old period construction with new touches is really cool. Bed comfy, quiet night. We intend to stay again.

Beautiful heritage house, I booked it last minute to get off the road in a snow storm.Minor irratence that the room wasn’t made up at 5:00, but I hadn’t given much notice. While it is period correct the claw foot tub just isn’t as functional as a modern shower. The rest of the house is like stepping into a time capsule. It would be a lovely place to check out in fall.
