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

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.

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!
