Loved the Snow room for having a veranda to relax on and easy access to the river to contemplate the beauty of creation. Nice place for the price. Easy check-in and checkout. The hotel decor is gorgeous. Very convenient to the new Elk River Rail trailhead in Gassaway where we biked. We arrived Saturday evening and it was tricky finding a place to park so we were down the block a little ways, but after that we had no issues. The grounds are beautiful but could use some love and care (weeding) and grass removal after mowing.

Generally a cute property. We stayed in the Carriage House room. We slept well, but the bathroom tub wouldn’t drain, so it was very dirty. We had to clean the tub before we used it.

We were only at the property from late evening until early morning. We arrived after 10 and could easily navigate the property. Our space would perfect for our four adults and one preteen to sleep and have room to spread out for a bit on our roadtrip.

It was great to stay in an historic hotel and learn about the history of the property and the town. Loved the ornate beauty of the rooms and the king sized bed was comfortable. The option of breakfast in the dining room was a plus. Emily was sweet and eager to please the guests.

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.
