Elkhorn Inn & Theater

"I have stayed here several times and found it to be very nice. The accommodations are comfortable and clean and the food - the food is out of this world GREAT! It is the best place to stay in the region. Motorcyclists, ATV riders, railroad enthusiatists, history buffs, fly fishermen, and FOODIES will find this the perfect place to stay. I recently returned for their Mark Twain Weekend. It was wonderful. The meals were all based on Mark Twain's writings about foods he enjoyed. "Mark Twain" was there the entire weekend speaking and reading and making it an event worth going to. Looking forward to the next one that I understand is coming soon. In October 2018, Elkhorn Inn & Theater brought Mark Twain back to McDowell County for another presentation - different from last year's visit. This year, we were also treated to have the pleasure of the company of General Thomas J Jackson (aka Stonewall). Given the opportunity to ask him about any of his campaigns, the Valley campaign was chosen and he told about it in detail. Once again, the meals were wonderfully delicious with the added enjoyment of dining with Mark Twain or General Jackson's Aide de Campe, Major Riley. Once again, an excellent weekend and a great value."

"Very nice place with one of the nicest husband-wife teams running it you'll ever meet. Group of 5 of us came for a weekend getaway and had a great time. Plenty of fish in the creek (and the occasional big one if you keep at it and know where to look) and plenty of trails if off-roading is your thing."

"Place is a hole in the wall with super nice staff. The surrounding towns are obviously very depressed and very very dirty. Went here to fly fish for trout in Elkhorn creek. The creekndespite having obscene amounts of trash and debris was full of fish. Unfortunately all the rainbows were very little. In the 4 to 8 inch range. Dont knkw if there's too many fish competing for food or if people are overfishing the waters. I'd go back though but thats because I seriously just love fishing."

"It is 4:37am as I type this. I'm awake because im cold. the space heater for my room doesn't really keep it all that warm. The one in the shared bathroom doesn't either. The owners seem nice enough. I don't think they want to wear my skin or anything. the first floor is straight up filthy. and strange. There are dogs and cats which wouldn't be too bad but the cat is meowing outside of my room. the shared bathroom for the floor is pretty dirty as well. There are not really any other hotels in the area which is why the travel person for my company booked me here. My travel person can burn in hell. was scheduled for 2 nights. only stayed one. made the hour+ drive from princeton. if you love trains trains trains then stay here. Maybe you won't get Hep C."

"Great spot along the Pocahontas Division of the Norfolk Southern in the coal fields of Southern WV. Railfans, ATVrs, Fisherman will all love the location. Don't miss a chance to have a meal prepared by Chef Dan either!"
