8/10 Very good

The room was a little tired but clean, the breakfast and coffee were very good, and the staff lovely.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Wasn’t really there much. Room was nice, loved the bed and frame. TV was extremely small and limited selection of what could be watched. Climate control was spot on. My wife and I are hot natured, and we actually got a little cold. Would definitely stay again, but would like to stay in one of the domes. You all will definitely be our go to when we visit. PS: We will be bringing our own coffee. We are picky about our coffee, so no offense intended.

Although they were a little shorthanded when we were there, the staff went out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly for us. The gentleman who made us breakfast was not only a great cook, but was super friendly. This is a great spot to stay, and in this small town is worth supporting

Beautiful location, beautiful dome and amazing service. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciate the wonderful hospitality, especially of the gentleman who cooked breakfast for us and checked us in. He was great. Would love to come back to West Virginia and stay in your cramping dome again.

What a cool experience sleeping in the Glamping Dome! The room was clean and spacious, and the a/c kept it nice and cool. Hearing the rain hitting the dome at night was nice and relaxing and the gentleman who took us to our room was very nice.

This was such a cool experience with two of my daughters. Staying in the glamping dome during a rainstorm on a river was amazing. The owner was so incredibly helpful and breakfast was delicious!

Loved the old house but property and room needed to be cleaned up more. Loved the river in the back. Property is in a great location.

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.

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.

There should be a map of the property in the lobby when you check in, since no one was there to tell us where our room was when we arrived on Wednesday afternoon. The room was decent and clean, and my wife and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck on Thursday evening.

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!
Verified review

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.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

The grounds were very nice with yard games and fire pits. Nice area right on the Elk River. Cute little bar to relax and get a drink. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good. The "dome"we stayed in appeared very clean, however, my only complaint was the "musty" smell. I should have asked for different accommodations (which would have given owners opportunity to fix the situation) but was very tired from driving all day so decided to put up with it for the night.

We had a wonderful time. The views were amazing. The rooms were clean and exactly as described. Fransico was very helpful. My only suggestion would be a tv in the bedroom also so if your child goes to sleep first the adults can continue watching tv.
