Shep's Miners Inn, Chloride, Arizona
View Original Description
Shep's Miners Inn is an old and historic motel. Built in the mid 1800's it was originally a stage coach repair and rest stop. Later, the Inn became living quarters for miners and their families.
This historic adobe inn is constructed with sand and mud from the local dry stream beds and the walls are 12 inch solid block. In the late 1800's this inn was initially built for the passengers on the Butterfield Stage Line to rest their weary bodies after the grueling journey through the desert. As the stage coaches gave way to the railroad, the rooms were converted to lodging for the miners and their families. When horseless carriages overtook the railroads for travel, the historic building was extended to become an early motor court on the main highway through Chloride, which today is 2nd street.
Over the following decades, the Miners Inn underwent many changes and uses. In 2002, it was taken back to the original use, a modern day hotel. We kept the feel of it's original rustic simple decor, and each room is different. The rooms are comfortable, they have private baths, plenty of fresh air and the rates are quite affordable. However, there is no air conditioning in the individual rooms. We accept overnight guests and are happy to provide longer term stays.
