Historic Motels & Inns in the Rocky Mountains

Chamberlin Inn

Cody, WY

Original push-button light switches, clawfoot bathtubs, and a courtyard garden with fire pits that have outlasted every attempt to replace them. The kind of property that gains character faster than it can spend it.

Historic Log Cabin Motel

Hot Springs, SD

A cluster of true 1920s log cabins on the National Register, each freestanding with its own door and its own deck, where the fire smells like the Black Hills and the hosts greet you like family. Wake to a homemade breakfast, then walk out onto your own porch with coffee and the pines.

Yodeler Motel

Red Lodge, MT

Built in 1909 as miner housing and converted to a Bavarian-style property in 1961, now on the National Register of Historic Places with rooms that carry a century of character. Covered patios, a hot tub, and a property that earns every year on that register.

North Idaho Inn

Coeur d'Alene, ID

A thirteen-room property on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d'Alene, steps from the public beaches, hiking trails, and lakeshore of one of North Idaho's largest lakes. Memory foam beds and personal service in a lake city where resort prices crowd out the alternatives.

Sugarloaf Mountain Motel

Virginia City, NV

A property on C Street in Virginia City with three rooms from the original 1878 miner's boarding house, where the original brick, rockwork, and iron-framed windows are still intact. The most historically authentic lodging on C Street, per guest accounts, with an on-site market and current owners known for genuinely personal hospitality.
