Bunkhouse Motel

The Bunkhouse Motel, Guernsey, Wyoming, is a delightful, affordable, and comfortable prairie gem you must not pass up. I was traveling on the Oregon Trail, June 2025, and knew Guernsey, Wyoming, was centered on many historic sites on the Trail. I try to patronize America’s Ma and Pa motels and knew the Bunkhouse Motel is directly on the Trail and also on US Highway 26.. The motel surprised me as to its quality, affordability, and comfort. It also has a wonderful quirkiness about it too. I have three important criteria of any lodging property, be it a 5-star international resort or a quaint Ma and Pa motel: 1. Safety, 2. Comfort, and 3. Value. For safety, the Bunkhouse Motel is in the small rural town of Guernsey. Not a lot goes on here after 5 p.m. The quiet peaceful town lends itself to a comfortable place to stop. The one-story motel has external doors with cut-key locks. The inside of the door does not have a security chain system, but rather a deadbolt system. The solid entrance door shut and locked well. Inside, the sink and mirror are separated outside of the toilet and bathtub/shower. The bathtub/shower does not have grab bars, but is an easy step over and in. All appliances in the room worked and were in good condition. In short, I felt safe in the room. For comfort, the bed. pillow, and bedding, were flawless. Slept well. Towels and washcloths were fresh, folded, and spotless. A quirk is a saddle stirrup is a towel holder. Nice touch. Lots of hot water too. The rooms have coffee makers. I did not use any available WiFi. For value, I couldn’t beat the price: less than $100 a night as compared with higher lodging east.. Also the motel has a delightfully clean and inviting dining area for the delicious and hot complimentary breakfast. Home made cinnamon rolls and superb breakfast burritos. Plus freshly ground coffee. What a treat! In short: the owners of the Bunkhouse Motel clearly take great pride in their property, and it shows. Please give it a look if you are in that part of Wyoming or on the Oregon Trail. I wish Trip Advisor would give a .5 rating too: such as 3.5, 4.5, etc. I could give the Bunkhouse Motel a 4.5 rating if I could. One last thing: Say hello to “Garth” the friendly motel cat.

The wifi didnt work. Old but clean. Mattress OK at best. Continental breakfast was not available.
