Very beautiful and quiet area. But be aware there are steep stairs to some rooms.

Elk River hotel and cafe

We absolutely loved staying here. It was super clean quaint and the staff was very kind. It was like stepping back in time. Our room was beautiful. Very colorful and bright. Beautiful furnishings and the grounds were amazing. Right on Elk River and very quiet. Its a little bit off the highway but well worth the drive. We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back again.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy access off I-79 and a welcome change from the cookie cutter sleep cheap places that I have historically frequented. The room was 100% as shown in the photos and was a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay. On-site bar and dinner offerings were great. My only regret was that I had to get up early and get back on the road so I missed out on what was likely a nice breakfast in their cafe. I'll be going back!

Gorgeous, historical home!

Loved this place! Beautiful, with friendly hosts & very accomodating! Love how the character of the home has been maintained. Clean & definitely somewhere we would come back to!

Will be going back and staying longer!

We had absolutely no problem staying at Elk River except our stay wasn't long enough. The young lady who registered us in at 8pm was lovely and another young lady saw us at our car, in the rain, getting our luggage and stopped to help us carry it all to our room. Our Bird Song room was wonderful and clean, we enjoyed every minute except it was just too short. We travel quite a bit from through West Virginia and Elk River will definitely be a stop along the way, making sure we stay a few days to really enjoy it.

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.

Great find in the middle of nowhere

Older house turned bnb not far from flat woods monster museum and big foot museum. Nicest place in the area of like 500 people. Food decent and prices okay. House creaks like it's old which it is. Gorgeous wood work. Nice outdoor places. Overall happy to stay on our way through WV.

A hidden gem

Good location to enjoy the Elk River and Lake nearby. Sutton as a town is trying to revitalize, and this hotel having a restaurant is very important. Meals were well prepared and thoughtful, and concerned about dietary restrictions. The historic hotel is full of architectural details of a more gilded age. We stayed on the Rainflower Suite and it was a good value for the price by far. Excellent value for the money.

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

Room smelled musky and moldy, had to get a candle from front desk. Bathroom floor, tub and sink had black hair every where. Booked for two nights only stayed one .

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!

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.
Jeanine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
