Gem from America's Industrial Past

Whatever you love - rugged mountain railroading, history (especially of the coal industry), rugged mountain beauty, charming hosts offering comfortable rooms and excellent food, solitude, ATV and/or fishing, and so much more - all shared with who you love, the Elkhorn Inn is hard to beat. So much of the heartbreak and beauty of the coal industry surrounds you. And two noteworthy movies - October Sky and Matewan - have their origins in nearby Coalwood and Matewan. While it is a 500 mile drive for me, it remains my favorite getaway.
Innside Tip:
"For Railfans a Rare Treat"
This Inn is less than a stone's throw from a busy Norfolk Southern route: The Pocahontas Division. Upwards of 50 trains a day - many hauling coal - may pass by, the ones heading east powered by as many as six locomotives. For the best view - and pictures - book the Greenbriar Room.
