A Historic Motel in Pinedale, WY
The Log Cabin Motel is proud to be on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993. The original "Camp O' the Pines” was built in 1929 by local businessman Walter Scott and is recognized as the longest continuously operated lodging property in Pinedale, Wyoming.
Like many structures of historic significance, the motel has worn a few hats over the years. In harsh winters, expectant mothers would stay until they delivered their babies, knowing the local doctor couldn't reach their snow-packed ranches. Early guests often did their own cleaning and some paid for rooms in trade, helping paint or make repairs. Legend tells the property once changed hands in a poker game!
In the late 1930s, the cabins were remodeled and indoor plumbing was added, ready to welcome the growing surge of tourists arriving by automobile from throughout the country to see Wyoming's magnificent scenery.
