Outside, you can sit around a fire pit and enjoy an evening reminiscent of pioneer campfires, though much easier to manage.

Conestoga wagons played a pivotal role in American history. Exclusively used in North America from the early 18th to mid-19th centuries, these wagons were the backbone of westward expansion, carrying settlers and their belongings across the frontier. Their sturdy design and iconic shape have become symbols of the pioneering spirit. Note the curved “walls” throughout the space.
Today, you can experience a piece of this history firsthand by staying in a new Conestoga 1843 Wagon, meticulously crafted to resemble the originals but with a few crucial upgrades. Inside, you'll find air conditioning, heating, comfortable bedding, and modern amenities that make your stay as convenient as it is memorable.
