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!

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!

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.

6/10 Good

Room was good. Said Buffett breakfast when room was booked. No breakfast ran out of food. Waitress was very nice but brought bacon and toast bacon wasn’t eatable not cooked much. Very disappointing. Speaking for sister trouble walking told her she would have a grab bar in shower none there so no shower. Big bug roach or water bug dead in shower. The lady at front desk was a super nice lady and check in good. If you are older wouldn’t recommend because of steps

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.

What an intriguing town and the Elk River Hotel is definitely the place to stay in Sutton. Emily is a native and warm and welcoming and Francisco is a joy. Don't miss his delicious Latin breakfast which is included in the price. The website could use updating. The restaurant at the hotel is closed, though there is a weekend bar, and a good place to eat in town is the Braxton Bistro. The hotel is situated directly on the Elk River in a beautiful spot. Try the glamping unless you have dog. By the way, the real Flatlands Monster isn't an alien, but the railroad tie plant in town.
