Our daughter and son-in-law had stayed at the Oregon Trail Inn before, so they booked rooms for us (and themselves) on a recent road trip to the Buhl area. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, as well as the extremely reasonable price. A great value! We also appreciated the breakfast items in the morning... More

Many Thanks to Rick and his staff for wonderful stay both in November 2012 and again in April 2013. Our stop in Buhl and especially at the Oregon Trail Inn was so refreshing , both physically and mentally. Thanks to Rick we met Lupe @ La Plaza for great Mexican food and hospitality and when we had a flat to... More

We stayed at the Oregon Trail Inn last October 20th. I neglected to timely put in my review. Rick and Wilson were delightful hosts and we enjoyed a very pleasant stay. Owner Rick's extensive background in the hotel industry, as well as his "home town" roots in and around Buhl are evident in so many ways. His kindness, consideration, and... More

The Oregon Trail Inn in Buhl has now become my 'comfort destination' when I go home to see family and friends. Recently I stayed at the Oregon Trail ... I always feel like I'm going to MY room. Rick is just the best, his professionalism, charming personality, are so refreshing. The amenities are all anyone needs. Rick is always making... More

My wife and I were on a trip to the Utah National Parks and on the way down it was very late as we surfed the AARP Travel site for lodging. The Oregon Trail Motel was very intriguing with great reviews. On one of the review sites it said that it features tubs only, no showers. I called an 800... More

My husband and I decided to visit a hot spring in Idaho and looked for a place to stay nearby. This is a wonderfully redone motel from the 1920s. The exterior has been preserved to show its heritage and the interior has all the amenities a traveler could want. Rick is very knowledgeable about the local area and sent us... More

We cannot compliment Rick enough. He understands hospitality in all of its aspects. We arrived here late in the evening and needed a non-smoking, pet friendly room. All of the rooms except one are non-smoking and that one is soon to be renovated making it an all non-smoking property. However, that night, that one room was the only one left.... More

We chose to stay at this motel because of the reviews. When we first saw the motel, I was dubious. (The outside is a little dated - but it adds to the charm after you see the inside.) The motel's owner, Rick, use to work for the Hilton Inns. He definitely applied his knowledge to the renovation of this motel.... More

We were planning a getaway to the Twin Falls area, but are always surprised at how expensive the hotels/motels are there. I found the Oregon Trail Inn quite by chance, online, and we decided to give it a try. It's not fancy, but if you're looking for a very clean, comfortable room with an air conditioner so cold that it... More
