Location: Stonewall Lakefront vs Sutton Riverfront

Stonewall Resort – Location

Stonewall Resort sits on Stonewall Jackson Lake inside Stonewall Resort State Park with marina and trail access.

  • Steps to marina, lakeside trails and a 125-passenger cruise boat
  • About 3 miles off I‑79 (resort provides on‑site shuttle within grounds)
  • Nearby day-trip sites include Jackson's Mill, museums and wineries

Choose Stonewall if you want a lakeside resort setting with boat access and park trails.

Elk River Hotel – Location

Elk River Hotel sits in downtown Sutton right by the Elk River and within easy walking distance of local points of interest.

  • Placed steps from the Elk River and 0.3 mi from Sutton Library
  • Close to Flatwoods Monster Museum and Sutton Dam for short outings
  • Front‑desk hours are limited—plan arrival accordingly

Choose Elk River Hotel for a central, riverside small‑town base for fishing and nearby outdoor activities.

Rooms: Resort rooms and cottages vs Individually decorated guesthouse rooms

Stonewall Resort – Rooms

Stonewall offers a wide range of lodge rooms, cottages and lake houses for families and groups.

  • Room types include standard lodge rooms, junior suites, cottages and Presidential Suite
  • 196 lodge rooms plus additional lake houses and cottages (property inventory listed on the resort)
  • Rooms have high-speed Wi‑Fi; many lodging types have lake views and family-friendly layouts

Stonewall suits guests wanting varied room types and larger accommodations for families or groups.

Elk River Hotel – Rooms

Elk River Hotel has 15 individually decorated guestrooms and several glamping domes across carriage-house and main-house room types.

  • Housekeeping is provided once per stay and additional services are on request
  • Some rooms and specific rooms allow pets (pet fee and rules apply)

Elk River Hotel is best if you prefer a small property with unique, named rooms rather than standardized hotel blocks.

Dining & drinks: Multiple on-site restaurants vs Small guesthouse service

Stonewall Resort – Dining & drinks

Stonewall has three main restaurants and seasonal poolside dining, covering casual to upscale options.

  • Stillwaters serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch (reservations recommended)
  • TJ Muskies Bar & Grill offers pub fare, craft cocktails and a lounge area
  • Lightburn's overlooks the golf course and opens seasonally or for special events

Elk River Hotel provides a bar/lounge for drinks and serves a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast.

  • Bar/lounge available for evening drinks
  • Complimentary local-cuisine breakfast is served daily from 8:30–10:00 AM
  • Property is small—dining options in town are limited compared with a resort

Elk River is a simpler option for meals—expect a small on‑site breakfast and a single bar rather than multiple restaurants.

Pools, beach & signature amenity: Lake marina and pools vs River access

Stonewall Resort – Pools, beach & signature amenity

Stonewall pairs an on‑site marina and full pool complex with lake‑centered activities.

  • Heated indoor/outdoor pool open early morning to late evening plus whirlpools
  • 374‑slip marina offering pontoons, kayaks, canoes, SUPs and boat rentals

Elk River Hotel – Pools, beach & signature amenity

Elk River Hotel sits on the Elk River and is chosen for nearby river fishing and access to mountain recreation.

  • Property is steps from the Elk River for fishing and casual riverside access
  • Nearby outdoor areas and marinas listed within ~11 km for additional water access
  • On‑site outdoor furniture, picnic area and firepit for low‑key outdoor time

Wellness, nightlife & events: Spa, fitness and big-event venues vs Intimate meetings and local gatherings

  • Fitness center with free weights, cardio, steam room and sauna; fitness classes available
  • Wide range of event spaces from small meeting rooms to ballrooms and outdoor lawn venues for weddings

If you need spa services, a fitness center and large event space, Stonewall is the better fit.

Elk River Hotel – Wellness, nightlife & events

Elk River Hotel supports small meetings and gatherings with three meeting rooms and a banquet hall in a more intimate setting.

  • Three meeting rooms and a banquet hall are available for events
  • The property lists wedding services and outdoor garden/terrace space
  • Limited front‑desk hours and a small on‑site bar shape the evening experience
