About this place

Corton Lodge | 1913 Church on the Elk River – Bell Tower Suite

The Bell Tower Suite offers a warm, character-rich stay with views toward the historic bell tower and surrounding woods. This suite is ideal for guests who appreciate architectural details, a cozy atmosphere, and a strong sense of place rooted in the building’s original character.

Corton Lodge is a truly unique escape, thoughtfully restored from a 1913 church on the banks of the scenic Elk River. Guests enjoy modern comfort wrapped in rich history, from vaulted ceilings and original maple floors to handcrafted wood trim milled from local hardwoods just across the road.

Each private suite features high-end West Virginia–made furniture by Gat Creek, full kitchens, and cozy kids’ lofts. Relax on the wraparound deck, enjoy private river access, explore miles of wooded trails, or simply unwind to the sound of the original bell tower, which still rings daily.

Corton Lodge is where craftsmanship, history, and connection come together for a memorable stay in the heart of West Virginia.

Owner

English
Hi, I’m Ryan.

I’m the owner, designer, and caretaker of Corton Lodge — a restored 1913 church nestled along the Elk River in the wilds of West Virginia. What began as a personal restoration project grew into a place meant for rest, reflection, and meaningful gatherings.

I’ve been hands-on in every part of the lodge’s transformation, from the reclaimed wood details to the walking trails that wind through more than 180 acres of forest and riverfront. My goal has always been simple: create a space where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience peace in a beautiful natural setting.

Corton Lodge welcomes guests from all over the country — whether you’re here for a wedding, a quiet retreat, or time outdoors with people you love. I’m always happy to share local recommendations or help make your stay special.

Peace in the wilds of West Virginia.
