I had a wonderful stay! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and the hospitality was excellent. Breakfast was a definite highlight! It was the perfect way to start the day. I really enjoyed my visit and would happily stay here again. Highly recommend!
Very amazing location and staff was the best! We enjoyed every minute of it and we can't wait to go back! Stayed in the dome with king bed and was very comfortable
Beautiful property! Stayed in one of the glamping domes. Wow! So amazing. Great new experience. And right on the water! So peaceful. Great staff and breakfast.
We loved the historic victorian oak home. Dark inside, but that's the vibe. Staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful. Neighborhood residential & safe, easy on-street parking. the homemade breakfast superb. Come here, if you can.
Two adults and one child.
Absolutely fabulous stay! We only booked one night, and honestly, we regret not staying longer! The room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the river view was absolutely perfect. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious! Everything made for such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We loved our stay so much that we’re already planning a return trip. Next time, we’ll definitely be staying longer! Highly recommend!
Great stay and very nice and pleasant people at the hotel. We stayed in the glamping dome and it was our first time and was great!! Comfy bed and great view and vibe. Enjoyed our time
The room was cozy, I stayed in Lily ponds, was a little hard to find at first but I think that was more user error.
Everything was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Stayed in one of the glamping domes at the Elk River Hotel and it was perfect! Came to the area for a marathon and it was the perfect little spot for an overnight stay. Wish we could’ve spent more time honestly. It was very clean, the AC worked great, and the rain sounded so nice at night. The woman who checked us in was so NICE! And she even coordinated with a friend of mine to stock my room with some marathon treats and gifts as a sweet surprise for me! So I hope you see this and know how much I appreciate you!

Staff was awesome to the extent of their knowledge. Need training. We finally figured it out with the help of an off duty employee. Breakfast was amazing. I don't fault the staff for our troubles. They were prompt with trying to help.

Staff was super friendly. The free hot breakfast was nice, they also had free snacks. The public areas they have are cute and charming with pretty views of the river. Unfortunately the room was kind of gross, lots of dust and some mold in the bathroom. The half the pillows on the bed smelled so musty that we had to throw them on the floor.
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.
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!
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.
The place is very unique located in a very interesting small town. Check in was quick and easy, staff was very welcoming and friendly. A very good freshly cooked breakfast was served, an unexpected treat. The glamping dome was much roomier than I expected. Very comfortable, it did rain the night we were there so the viewing was not the best but the sleep was excellent.
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.

Awesome place to stay. Loved the patio that came with our room. Beautiful views as well.
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.
