This was a cute and quaint place to stay. The property offers rooms, suites, and yurts with a bar open on Fridays and Saturdays. You can also walk about a half mile to see the river’s dam and fish if you like. We enjoyed the stay!

Everyone there was so amazing. The Hostess was so friendly and inviting. And the owners were also super great. They fixed you a homemade breakfast and it was sooo delicious. And the domed rooms were fantastic with a river view. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Sutton area. All the people there were so friendly and welcoming.

First time glamping and we absolutely loved it! Very clean and comfortable accommodations in a peaceful area with a beautiful view of the river. Waking up in the morning to see a slice of the sky from bed was an unexpected perk of our geodesic dome tent. Although a typical continental breakfast was offered, having a delicious plated breakfast served on white linen tablecloths with a smile and friendly conversation in the main house was another unexpected treat. Francisco was very courteous and helpful!

Very happy with my choice to stay here. Staff was very nice, Francisco cleaned the snow off my car my first morning there. Duke was an excellent breakfast companion. Hotel is a great central location on WV for my week long vacation to explore the state. The town is close to major highways, but small enough I enjoyed the quiet after coming home from a day of driving/exploring. I will be back here next time I take a visit to WV!

We stayed in one of the riverfront domes, it was an excellent setting. Domes are nicely setup, have everything you need and the heating/AC work great. Bar had a decent selection of drinks including wines, beer and mixed cocktails. Host was great and adjacent to the property there is EV charger. We live 9 hours away and would consider going back for a few days.

The grounds were very nice with yard games and fire pits. Nice area right on the Elk River. Cute little bar to relax and get a drink. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good. The "dome"we stayed in appeared very clean, however, my only complaint was the "musty" smell. I should have asked for different accommodations (which would have given owners opportunity to fix the situation) but was very tired from driving all day so decided to put up with it for the night.
