Stargazer Inn

Great Basin National Park


Owners Jake and Kate left careers in New York to refurbish this 10-room motel and its sister property, Kerouac's Restaurant. The result is a knockout: a comfortable place to rest that retains the old-timey feel of a roadside motel. It's steps away from the Great Basin Visitors Center: peek out your window and there's Wheeler Peak, rising from the desert.

Some units have kitchenettes (from $98).
