The glamping dome was very fun to stay in. We enjoyed it! The breakfast was very hearty and healthy. We'd stay again next time we are in WV.
The Flatwoods Monster and Big Foot Museums are intetesting glimpses into the unique cryptid sightings in WV and are only a few blocks down from the Elk Hotel.
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!
Francisco, the host, was wonderful; greeting us upon our arrival and preparing a lovely breakfast. Thank you. The walk from our room to the dam was a special plus.

Awesome place to stay. Loved the patio that came with our room. Beautiful views as well.
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
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.
The bestes food and staff... felt like family for my dogs and I! Truly wanted to move in and stay forever. Thanks Emily, Fransico for the prayers 🙏 and love ❤️ Kym, Raven and River dogs 🐕
Great staff! Room was so nice and cozy. It would have been great if our suite mates had remembered that quiet hours started at 11 pm. The walls are a bit thin.
Emily and Rosie are absolutely amazing people! I can't begin to explain how lovely and hospitable they both are. Because of them, I will definitely be back.
The employees at the property were amazing. They gave us a self-guided tour of the amenities as well as showing us personally to our dome. The dome was amazing very clean. The view was awesome. Very quiet. The breakfast was very nice and the bar downstairs was lovely for an evening of talking to the employees about local things in the area. The road was very quiet and we enjoyed a morning walk along the river to the trail. We also enjoyed walking through town and meeting a local sculptor. Just an amazing stay!
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!
Air conditioning was not on when we got there but quickly cooled down the tent. It is amazing to sleep when there is a storm outside. You will never forget it.

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.
