You have to be going to the Elkhorn Inn to find it, that's how secluded this wonderful bed and breakfast is. However, this place is well worth seeking out if you want a comfortable, no-fuss place. The Inn is an extremely solidly built old coal company building, and was the sole surviving building when a flood destroyed the town of Landgraf several years ago. Some of the rooms share a bath, but what a bath it is, a very large room with two claw foot tubs. Our room had
it's own bath, which was small but clean. Our room was quaint and comfortable, furnished with a double bed, a vintage quilt, and 1930's
furniture. Each room has a bookshelf full of an eclectic selection of
reading material. The rooms do not have televisions, but there is a television room down the hall, also furnished with books and magazines, videos and board games. Just off the tv room is access to the wonderful patio. Train lovers will be in heaven as the famous
"pokey" line is directly across the street (you do hear trains at all
hours of the day and night, but it's no worse than street traffic
level noise). The Elkhorn creek runs right next to the building and provides scenic views and great fishing. ATV trails abound. The countryside is so interesting, with mountains, quaint towns, coal mines, and old bridges everywhere. One of the owners of the Inn used to own a New York art gallery, so the house is filled with unique artwork. The owners are accomodating to the extreme, and are interesting people in themselves, so be sure to save some time to talk to them. The only drawback to this place is that there truly are
no restaurants closer than a half an hour, so be sure to order at least one dinner at the Inn, and be prepared to drive awhile for food. The Elkhorn Inn is a unique experience, but one that is highly comfortable and very enjoyable.
