Beautiful Bed & Breakfast style hotel with spacious main house rooms or glamping domes out back. Great base camp for your next West Virginia adventure.

Cozy by the creek
Cozy room with nice view of Sutton creek. Staff very friendly. Emily makes a fantastic breakfast. The glamping domes look like a great retreat too.
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.
Elk River Hotel and Cafe is a quaint, fairly isolated but classic spot. This was our third time here and we enjoy the ambiance and remoteness of this hotel.
I thought the property was nice. The area was quiet and safe. Parking to the location is a little bit of a hassle if you get there later in the evening.
It was a very comfortable room and quiet. The location was cute and peaceful. Really appreciated the bottles of water on each side of the bed, which was nice to see after all the travel.
The resort is beautiful, very well managed, and very clean. The owner of the establishment is wonderful. Customer service is excellent. The only down side is the quite loud lumber mill across the river with machinery that runs 24/7.
We enjoyed our stay in the River suite. We could see the river from the porch and enjoyed a quick walk to the beautiful river. We played a few games of jumbo yard sized Connect Four, and lounged in the hammocks. Would stay again. Thank you.
