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.

The Hemlock dome was amazing! The staff was friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi was a nice feature. Breakfast was included with the stay. They had sit-down options or carry-out. The dome was beautiful and spacious. The shower had good water pressure. The A/C worked perfectly! It was a beautiful view of the river. We even had a friendly cat who greeted us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

This was a cute and quaint place to stay. The property offers rooms, suites, and yurts with a bar open on Fridays and Saturdays. You can also walk about a half mile to see the river’s dam and fish if you like. We enjoyed the stay!

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.

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.
