Then, upon entry, the large guest area beckons to be sat in with its comfortable leather sofas and cushy chairs to warm by the fire and relax, read, chat or watch a movie. And, of course, we do have WI-FI. The Morning Glory Inn has actually lowered its rates and includes a much nicer than usual continental breakfast. On weekends we'll always add something extra and we'll probably be cooking some eggs and pancakes. We have also added refrigerators and coffee makers to the rooms so that everyone can keep a snack available and have a cup in their room. Our well-appointed rooms with vaulted wood ceilings and private baths including are the largest in Pocahontas County WV.

Views - Amazing Bedrooms - OK…read moreCell service - Nonexistent WiFi - Only in the main conference area Other cool things - a huge library of books and DVDs, kaleidoscope collection, pool table, large TV with cable in the main house, breakfast is included, it's pretty close to snowshoe, you can go to their observatory for a great view or sit by their creek on their benches, they have a llama and a bunch of other animals, they have a sauna and hot tub. The hotel isn't so old, I was told 17 years old but it seems older with its classic style - it's gingerbread moldings and large porches - and it's quite cute. I really enjoyed my time here. I'm glad that I read about the lack of WiFi and cellphone service in advance so I was prepared. I took it as a break to spend time with my friends and husband - a time to disconnect. They also host spiritual conferences there, we were told. I can imagine it being a good place for a church retreat - the rates for conferences were very reasonable - advertised in the $400 range for a full weekend of meals and activities. I can imagine this business growing as the location is extremely beautiful and it's a powerful thing to disconnect and reconnect with loved ones.

This is a unique place to stay for a getaway in West Virginia. The Inn is located about 8 miles…read moredown a single-track, winding road, so it really feels off the grid. You look out your window at trees, forests, and ridges. The owners have created a warm, friendly environment, with many decorations that make for a rustic feel. Overall the Inn is a really nice place to stay, but here are a few things to consider: - The driveway is a lengthy (0.2-mile), gravel-covered, steep hill. We have an SUV and each time we went up the driveway our lights went on indicating unstable traction. Keep this in mind if you have a smaller vehicle or plan to go in the snowy months. - Breakfast is complimentary and dinner is provided for an additional fee ($30 per person per night and $45 on Saturdays). The food is delicious and all home-made. Ed is a fantastic chef - see many pics posted below. However, he makes a set amount of food per-person and there is no extra food. The first night we were there my wife and I had done a long hike in the afternoon and we were very hungry. Dinner was tasty but it was not enough food for us. When I asked if we could have more Ed said there was none. So consider your personal needs when thinking about meals. Since the Inn is so secluded, it is not easy to drive to a restaurant (20-30 minutes at least). - Breakfast is at 8am and dinner is at 7pm. This is a reasonable schedule for most people. My wife and I are early risers though and found ourselves up long before breakfast, so it ended up feeing like we had to wait around before starting our day (there is a coffee & tea station setup that you can go to at any time of day). Again, this will work for some people but not others. - The wifi is spotty. It's good enough to look up directions on Google maps but you can't stream a show or movie if that's your kind of thing to do on vacation. - There were a few extra charges that we didn't expect. For example, dinner Saturday night was $45 per person and Ed offered us wine with dinner (he is a sommelier and has a great selection). We were surprised to see that the wine was $15 per glass when we got our final bill at checkout. We could have asked of course, but we didn't think of it and Ed didn't mention it.

They were so nice to us there, and the food was unbelievable (So many thanks to Kathleen for packing us up some of those delicious muffins on our last morning with you!). The room was wonderfully comfortable and the peace and quiet was just what we needed! We were walking distance from the entire downtown area and got to enjoy meandering the streets late at night (completely safe!) A little word of warning to folks from the big city though: Shinnston pretty much rolls up the streets at 6pm. Might want to get your dinner (or something to eat for dinner) before then.
