We were looking for a hotel "off the beaten path", and Shep's Miners Inn certainly fit the bill. First of all, you can't beat the price; we paid about $60. The room, or should I say ROOMS were huge, almost the size of my apartment! There were two bedrooms plus a living room with a daybed, so the three of us had plenty of space. The furniture and linens were a bit worn, but everything was perfectly clean. One big caution: THIS PLACE HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING!! This could be a real problem for older travelers, especially during the summer. The owner provided us with several fans, and it was cool enough during the night to sleep comfortably. The restaurant next door was delightful, with live entertainment, good food, and an unbelievable bar. You wouldn't expect a place in the middle of nowhere to stock over 100 kinds of beer plus a selection of fine spirits. Just one of the many pleasant surprises that made Shep's Miners Inn a place we won't forget.
