Nice getaway in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!!

This quaint Inn offers a nice getaway in Wild Wonderful West Virginia!! My sister and I stayed in the Birdsong Suite (2 rooms/beds). Not the Greenbrier of course but a lovely place with helpful, hospitable staff. The Cafe’s meals (though limited) were delicious. A nice getaway location or nice place to stay when traveling through.

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.

Traveling through

We were traveling through the area and picked this hotel using Google maps and Hotels.com. We stayed in the carriage house, Lake room with a king bed. It was comfortable. We had dinner in the cafe. Very good food. Quiet, comfortable, interesting area. The 2 women running it were very helpful. Since it's a small staff, don't arrive before 4pm or you might have to wait. We would stay here again

Adorable Local Hideout!

Overall wonderful experience! The glamping dome was cozy and clean with a well functioning AC unit and comfortable bed. Breakfast was a delicious quiche with sausage, potatoes, and an orange. I was just expecting a typical scrambled egg or waffle but I was pleasantly surprised with the offerings. Great stay for couples!

Overlooked

What a nice find. We've been to West Virginia for years with family roots. When this property showed up or Hotels.com, it was a pleasant surprise. Very quaint and cozy on a quiet street on the banks of the Elk River in Braxton Co., WV. Called to check on us as we were running late, offered to hold the Cafe open for dinner. Escorted to your room. The history of it's old period construction with new touches is really cool. Bed comfy, quiet night. We intend to stay again.

2/10 Poor

Never Again

Emily was pleasant and informed us there would be no dinner and no breakfast for our B&B stay and were not notified at the time of booking that the chef would be off. Not good. That should have been disclosed. It was our anniversary. The room looked nice upon entry, then we saw the filth. That room hasn’t been dusted in weeks there were cobwebs at the spires(tops) of the 4 poster bed and covering the entire headboard, the bed rails…disgusting. The floor was so filthy, the bottoms of my feet were black 5 minutes after I took my shoes off. The fan was caked with so much filth,I was hesitant to turn it on for fear of dust spewing, so I took it upon myself to take a washcloth and clean the fan. Mopped a path to the bathroom and wore socks until I got in bed. In addition to the fan, dusted the neglected furniture, the baseboards, the door panels. I am highly allergic to dust. It was not an I am highly allergic to dust. We paid $133 for a bed. We were alone in the house. Nothing offered. I would like some sort of compensation or at least a phone call. Joan Hughes
