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.

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!

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.

Everyone there was so amazing. The Hostess was so friendly and inviting. And the owners were also super great. They fixed you a homemade breakfast and it was sooo delicious. And the domed rooms were fantastic with a river view. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Sutton area. All the people there were so friendly and welcoming.

The employees at the property were amazing. They gave us a self-guided tour of the amenities as well as showing us personally to our dome. The dome was amazing very clean. The view was awesome. Very quiet. The breakfast was very nice and the bar downstairs was lovely for an evening of talking to the employees about local things in the area. The road was very quiet and we enjoyed a morning walk along the river to the trail. We also enjoyed walking through town and meeting a local sculptor. Just an amazing stay!

First time glamping and we absolutely loved it! Very clean and comfortable accommodations in a peaceful area with a beautiful view of the river. Waking up in the morning to see a slice of the sky from bed was an unexpected perk of our geodesic dome tent. Although a typical continental breakfast was offered, having a delicious plated breakfast served on white linen tablecloths with a smile and friendly conversation in the main house was another unexpected treat. Francisco was very courteous and helpful!
