About this property

Bell Tower Suite – Private Riverfront Stay Near Charleston WV

Stay inside a beautifully restored 1913 church on the Elk River — in your own private Bell Tower Suite.

This is a fully private, self-contained 2-bedroom suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and living space — not the full lodge.

Perfect for couples, families, or small groups, the Bell Tower Suite blends historic character with modern comfort in a one-of-a-kind setting.

The Experience: Wake up to mountain air and the quiet sounds of nature. Step outside onto the wraparound deck, sip coffee overlooking the Elk River, and spend your day exploring, relaxing, or reconnecting.

Enjoy access to: Private Elk River access for kayaking, tubing, swimming, and fishing
A riverside pavilion just steps from the water
A fire pit for evenings under the stars
Over 4.5 miles of private trails across 180 acres

Spacious 800 sq ft private suite
2 bedrooms + cozy kids’ loft
Full kitchen and comfortable living area
Vaulted ceilings and original 1913 architectural details
High-end West Virginia-made furniture

What Makes It Unique:

Corton Lodge was once a working church — and its character still lives in every detail.

Original maple floors from 1913
Handcrafted wood trim milled from local trees
The original bell tower, still ringing daily

Important Notes:

This listing is for the private Bell Tower Suite only, not the entire lodge
No events or parties permitted in this suite
Ideal for 2–4 guests, with space for up to 6–7
Pet-friendly (up to 2 dogs)

Need More Space? Ask about booking the entire Corton Lodge for weddings, events, or larger group stays.
