Why you should choose Trading Post

The Trading Post & Motel was built in the late 1940's as a gas station, convenience store and motel. It has been transformed in the last 3 years into a show place. Our gas station includes pay at the pump, but you really should come inside. The store will wow you with its original wood beam ceiling and its fully stocked merchandise, including food, jewelry, t-shirts, coins, handmade local items, knives, pottery, propane cookers, ice cream and much more. We have a handicapped accessible restroom as well as two more newly renovated restrooms outside.

Our Rooms

The motel is located behind the Trading Post store. It was constructed back in the day out of old river rock. We have maintained the old charm of the original buildings but with very comfortable beds and modern amenities. It is the perfect stopping place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

There is a small covered patio with picnic tables and a grill for the enjoyment of our guests, with many more updates to come.

Nice little spot to stop at and get gas along highway 180. Not a ton of spots to stop at along the way so it was definitely worthwhile. Was quite nice inside and the restrooms were nice and clean as well. Gas prices were reasonable and the staff was pleasant. I’ll definitely be stopping here again when I’m in the area as it was a pleasant and memorable experience.

I was really impressed with the complete renovation of this old "general store". The restroom is now located inside of the store instead of outside like in past years. It is beautiful now!
