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!

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.
