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.

That said, it's down from the highway into the lot so you have trucks using their engine brakes. That makes it super loud and you will not get a good night's sleep here.

For some of the places I visit, I do some online research of the menu, dress code, and what to expect when I arrive at the restaurant. I reviewed the menu beforehand, so I knew I was ordering the Ruben sandwich with fries and some bleu cheese dressing on the side. Also, I noted online that the website said it was "casual fine dining", which caused some concern about how to dress, as I have been known to underdress a bit at times (for the past three years t-shirt and shorts have been the clothing of the day). So, I went in fully casual mode - shorts, t-shirt and sweatshirt. All of which were perfect, as it is totally casual. While the website uses the term "casual fine dining", the dress is casual. What I didn't expect was the layout of the restaurant or an appreciation for the age of the primary place of business. It is a pre-Civil War home in Kingwood, WV. It has had some additions over the years to make it into a functioning inn and restaurant. My first thoughts upon entering the location was "eclectic", but the décor grew on me as I enjoyed my lunch. Now on to the food: I ordered the Ruben sandwich, that is a favorite of Chef Stephen Clemens (we had a second or two to chat). He mentioned that the restaurant is as locally sourced as it can be, and the sauerkraut came from Roger' Farm, which is local producer of the cabbage. I really enjoyed the Ruben, and I can say that the ingredients were fresh and well prepared. French fries were cooked perfectly, and you could taste that they were freshly cut. The food is great. I know this is dragging a bit, but overall, I will go back to try many of the other dishes on the menu. Who knows, I might spend a night at the Preston County Inn.

Luxury experience…read more... Nemacolin is a place of awe offering so many amenities, views, activities, and much more. I stayed in the Chateau which did a fantastic job of integrating its artwork throughout while complimenting its architectural design. It felt as if I entered a historic museum. Butler service started the moment you get past the security checkpoint at the main entrance. Car valeted, bags to your room, and a bath can be ready for you. All and I mean all of the staff were super friendly and hospitable. There is a cigar lounge and shop that has a decent selection of spirits and cigars. Outdoor seating is also available on the massive patio area which connects to the lobby bar. For the sake of exclusivity I did not post the room interior. I did stay in the king bedroom which had multiple chandeliers, fully digital control operated lighting, curtains, and tv from the iPad. There was a proper coated iron tub which your butler is willing to make for you. Just call and request. The toilet was definitely what you'd expect in a luxury room, Fully automated, climate controlled seat, adjustable water temps and pressure, massaging, UV light, and several other features. In short walk up to it, handle business, still wipe yourself, and walk away. The shower had plenty of space and offered the waterfall/overhead feature most ideal for washing hair. The bed was comfortable and cooling. I do recommend ordering from the pillow menu. As a bonus there is a sweet treat brought to your room every evening. There is a menu for wake up call and refreshment service in the morning. Make sure you put the time in thirty minute increments. When I doubt rely upon your butler service. The housekeeping provided was excellent and comically enough it seemed everything I got out the bed and left I came back it was fully made. I was very appreciative of that. Don't worry about the PJ's landing and take offs. The noise cancellation in your room is more than adequate. 5 out of 5

We stayed in…read more"The Homes" (2-bed, 2.5-bath), which felt like upgraded ski lodges and worked perfectly for a family layout. However, parking at our lodge was a constant battle as staff members frequently took up guest spots. The resort has fun, quirky artwork and a great commitment to sustainability (the bee sanctuary was a highlight), but it is a mixed bag overall. The animal exhibits left us feeling a bit uneasy, as the animals seemed depressed. Service was also inconsistent. While the staff was generally nice, it was clear they need better training on luxury guest hospitality. Service took a major nosedive during prime dinner hours, and bars frequently ran out of signature ingredients. The dining was our biggest letdown. At Fawn & Fable, we were plagued by fruit flies/fungus gnats during dinner. The cocktails were easily the best on the resort, and the prime rib was good (though unmemorable), but my brother's steak was completely overcooked. Gusto!, the Italian spot on campus, was fine but ultimately forgettable. Nemacolin is an interesting place with plenty to do, and I can see it being a magical winter wonderland with snow. But right now, it lacks the execution and polish to justify a luxury tag.

The pools and hottub are a nice touch as well! As with any place that's been around for 100+ years, you can't expect perfection. The rooms are old school and purposefully lack common modern hotel amenities - such as a microwave or fridge. I also note that my bathroom had a steady stream of little ants on the floor/sink vanity. Didn't impact my stay, but if you are looking for things to whine about you are likely to find them. I strongly recommend Summit Inn so long as you know/acknowledge that staying in a place like this will have minor drawbacks but in its totality is a unique and pleasant experience beyond a place to lay your head at night! Thanks for having me!

Also, arrive on time to check in. Don't come early and don't come too late. They won't check you in early, even just to secure your spot. come later and lose your spot, lose your money. Very old-school back asswards, "not my fault" process and policy. We went there last weekend to stay there after a wedding. We booked it online from a click through on their website. We booked a large suite with two beds and a pullout for $258. We tried to check in at noon, but they wouldn't accept us. We told them we wouldn't be there till after 10 PM and they still wouldn't accommodate. We arrived around 11 PM and tried to check in but they had already given away the large rooms so it's a good thing we didn't have my kids with us or they would've had nowhere to sleep!!! They actually told us that the booking online is not their problem, not their fault or responsibility to make right. And let's talk about that front desk service. I don't know why I had to wait so long so many times, but I did. And they did not refund us for using the smaller room. So rude. What a horrible little enterprise. the historic charm was lost on me from irritating and poor service!
