Rooms & camping
A bed that has been waiting since 1888.
Queen rooms, bunk rooms for a crew, a family suite, and twenty primitive tent sites. Every option is steps from the GAP and books in the same calm checkout.
Indoors
Private rooms
Each room has its own bath, a smart TV, and fast WiFi. No front desk, no waiting: your door code lands on your phone the moment you check in.
Outdoors
Primitive camping
Twenty-plus tent sites a few steps from the trail, priced per person. An ADA-accessible site is available. Bringing a group of ten or more? Call ahead so we can hold space.
New — stay + ride
Bike n' Bed
A room for the night plus your adventure — the Helmstetter Hotshot railbike — booked as one thing, at one price.
Through September 30 the Helmstetter Hotshot departs at 1:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays — there is no 3:00 PM run those days. Check in at the Tracks & Yaks depot 30 minutes before departure. The 3:00 PM departure returns October 1. Combos don't start Tuesdays (no railbikes) or Fridays. Check-out is open every day, and room-only stays check in or out any day — including Tuesday. Contactless, 7 days a week.
Pick your nights.
Add a railbike ride to your stay and check in from your phone the moment you arrive.
