The interior of the main building & rooms need a better cleaning job and some maintenance needed.

This hotel would be much better if it was better staffed and maintained. We waited 1/2 hour after ordering dinner at the cafe, only to find out it would be another 30 minutes. We cancelled and went to our room to eat popcorn and soup we had packed. Room was dusty and had bugs.

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.

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!

You don’t find many fully functional turn of the 20th century homes thoughtfully converted into a boutique hotel. Nicely done!

Yert Appeal

Glamping in a yert for the first time was good. Lots of space, very comfortable bed and great linens.

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

We were passing through on our way from Georgia to Ontario and stayed in a very comfortable room in the main building. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the menu was excellent and the food was terrific. If you stay make sure you eat in the restaurant

Never Again

Emily was pleasant and informed us there would be no dinner and no breakfast for our B&B stay and were not notified at the time of booking that the chef would be off. Not good. That should have been disclosed. It was our anniversary. The room looked nice upon entry, then we saw the filth. That room hasn’t been dusted in weeks there were cobwebs at the spires(tops) of the 4 poster bed and covering the entire headboard, the bed rails…disgusting. The floor was so filthy, the bottoms of my feet were black 5 minutes after I took my shoes off. The fan was caked with so much filth,I was hesitant to turn it on for fear of dust spewing, so I took it upon myself to take a washcloth and clean the fan. Mopped a path to the bathroom and wore socks until I got in bed. In addition to the fan, dusted the neglected furniture, the baseboards, the door panels. I am highly allergic to dust. It was not an I am highly allergic to dust. We paid $133 for a bed. We were alone in the house. Nothing offered. I would like some sort of compensation or at least a phone call. Joan Hughes
