We stayed in the lake room. We didn't get to enjoy the outside balcony because it rained most of the time. But the room was clean. Just a little musty. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was very good. They are very pet friendly

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!

A Special Place

We stayed off season and just overnight. Our accommodations were comfortable and very clean and the owners were friendly. A very unique place.

My husband, dog and I stayed in the Rain Song Suite for one night. It was a nice spacious and comfy room for us. We were just travelling through on our way home from Myrtle Beach. We arrived after 8pm so it was dark and no one was at the desk. They left us our key and we had no problems finding our room. We had a little fire at the fire pit before bed with a couple of drinks which was nice to be able to do in March. In the morning, I had breakfast which was great! It did take a few minutes as they had to start cooking it once I showed up, which is understandable - it was hot, filling and delicious. Normally, they charge $10/adult but as it was low season, it was free. The only criticisms I had were that the shower needed some TLC (caulking needs to be replaced) and not sure of other restaurants in the area of you were to stay more than one night. The buildings are older and probably a lot of work to keep up. I definitely recommend staying here. It was reasonably priced. For note, this hotel is at the edge of the town's downtown - I had assumed incorrectly that it was in a more rural area.

Staff was super friendly and helpful, from the moment I got there, they actually came out onto the cobblestone street to help me find a place to park (they also run a nice Italian restaurant, so the street was full for my Friday night arrival). I stayed in the main building, which had an old-fashioned b&b style to it. All wood flooring, lots of windows, full sized bathroom, fancy king bed. I was there in winter, and that meant my room was a bit drafty upon entering it, but they had enough space heaters to make it feel comfortable rather quickly.

We stayed in the bird song room. It was a separate building with a balcony that overlooked the elk river. We had to leave early so didn't have breakfast. Cafe had good pizza and beer selection.

We had a wonderful stay! We stayed in the Sycamore glamping dome. It was so lovely! The cutest little experience. It had a lovely view of the river- while sitting on the deck we watched a bald eagle fly over the river! A few things worth noting: • Temperature: It was quite chilly even with the heaters going! Though, we figured it would be with it being a dome and booking in the middle of February. We came prepared with warm clothes & extra blankets and didn’t have a problem. • Hospitality The only staff member we interacted with in person was Francesco- he was very kind & his breakfast was yummy! • Cleanliness & maintenance While the property was very nice and the dome was updated inside, it could definitely use some deep cleaning & maintenance. There was a toilet sitting in the box right outside our door. Lawn chairs thrown in the yard in front of the deck. Mold in the bathroom window. Stained towels. A used open bar of soap in the shower. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The king size bed was very clean & comfortable! We would stay again!

The place was very nice clean, very friendly staff. The night we started they were fully occupied which required reservations at the on site restaurant, the staff quickly took our reservation and slowed us to book it in the bar. The bar was not attached to the main house but was down next to the river which made for a nice view and surroundings. The food was good served hot and a decent variety on the menu. I would definitely stay here again. One thing to note there is no off street parking and since they were fully booked parking was a challenge.
