Iron Horse Inn

There’s a particular kind of hotel that only exists because someone refused to tear down the past. The Iron Horse Inn, tucked into Old Town Cottonwood , Arizona, is one of them — a former motor court built in the 1930s by the Eden family, the same family that once ran the local lumber company. Decades and several owners later, it’s still standing on N Main Street, minus the open garages (those got walled in during the 1970s, when cars got too big to squeeze into) and plus every modern comfort a traveler could ask for.   Read more: Why This 1930s Motor Court in Cottonwood, Arizona Is the Verde Valley’s Best-Kept Secret

 A wine-country getaway sounds simple: find a comfortable room, visit a few tasting rooms, enjoy a good dinner, and head back to bed without worrying about a long drive. But where you stay can make a surprisingly big difference. If your trip is centred around Arizona wine, choosing accommodation away from the heart of Cottonwood can mean spending more time in the car and less time enjoying the reason you came. For many visitors, staying close to Old Town makes the experience easier, especially when wine tasting, dining, shopping, and evening plans are all part of the itinerary. That is one reason we believe the Iron Horse Inn is worth considering when you’re comparing hotels in Cottonwood . Located at 1034 N. Main Street in Cottonwood, AZ 86326, our inn puts you close to the character and activity of historic Old Town while giving you a comfortable place to slow down at the end of the day.   Read more: Best Hotels in Cottonwood for a Wine Country Getaway
