Loved this property!

This place is absolutely wonderful! Kenny & Christa were very friendly & super welcoming. Our family stayed there for a wedding at a nearby town and they treated us all very well. They have done a wonderful job tending to this charming property! The homemade breakfasts they made for all of us was outstanding. The eggs were super tasty but the homemade baked goods were the star of the meal. If we ever make it back to that area of WY this will be where we stay without a doubt.

The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The bathroom had a modern renovation. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was cooked fresh on-site and tasted much better than breakfast at most larger chain hotels. Good central location. We would stay there again.

We are traveling across the country and The Carter Inn is the best place we've stayed! The owners provide many lovely details that made our stay extra special, from homemade cookies to little treats in our room, to a delicious breakfast with multiple kinds of fresh baked bread, fruit, sausage, and eggs made to order. All of that and the room was extra clean and comfortable. 10/10!

The Hidden Gem

Wonderful service. Staff was Accommodating. The room was immaculate and the outdoor patio/hang out area was a nice change of pace from other larger hotels. Eating breakfast in the morning was very similar to having breakfast at grandma's house. If you didn't get enough to eat it was your own fault. Would stay here again in an instant.
