About Us
Welcome to Corton Lodge, Where History Meets Modern Luxury
Nestled on the banks of the scenic Elk River in West Virginia, Corton Lodge offers an exceptional blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Housed within a beautifully renovated church built in 1913, our lodge invites guests to immerse themselves in a tranquil retreat.
Our Story
Corton Lodge was born from a vision to create a unique lodging experience that harmonizes with the natural beauty and history of West Virginia. The church, standing since 1913, is being carefully restored to preserve its historical essence while incorporating all the luxuries of modern accommodation. Our founder, Ryan Stamm, fueled by a passion for sustainable tourism and a deep appreciation for West Virginia’s rich cultural heritage, is transforming this historic site into a sanctuary for adventure seekers and peace lovers alike.
Preserving Our Heritage
In our restoration efforts, we are meticulously preserving as much of the original structure as possible, including the hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, and vaulted ceilings. A focal point of our preservation is the church bell in the steeple, which continues to be a symbol of the lodge's historical significance and enduring legacy.
What We Offer
Corton Lodge features two exclusive two-bedroom suites, each designed to provide an intimate and luxurious experience. Each suite comes equipped with a full kitchen and a charming loft area that kids will love. Guests can enjoy a range of outdoor activities right at their doorstep, from hiking and mountain biking to fishing and ATV riding. Our property serves not just as a place to stay, but as a destination in itself.
