Old Pioneer Garden Country Inn

“Beautiful location but they did not know we had a booking and were unprepared to house us”

When we got there, they didn’t know we had a reservation and had to scramble during the last hour of daylight to put us into an apartment attached to a 1970s house.

The setting feels like stepping back in time, the spot is cozy, and we could star‑gaze at night; the host supplied fresh eggs and toast in the morning, letting us enjoy breakfast on the beautiful dessert farm.

“Relaxing stay and fresh air. There is no TV provided so bring plenty of magazines.”

The location is great for hiking into the canyons; breakfast isn’t included, but they did give fresh eggs on request that I cooked; the room lacks internet access.

“Old house; Near Ghost Town; Off the Grid; But why?”

The only redeeming point was the location, which was exactly where we needed to be in Nevada to hit our overall drive goals; knowing the marginal comfort and the listed cons, I might have stayed another hour on the main highway toward Winnemucca (east/north) or a couple of hours toward Sparks/Reno (west). If you’re after a spot near a ghost town, that could be a reason to go. Picture an old grandmother who lived off the grid and passed away, and you’re left at her house for arrangements—living there is possible, but she left no food, and everything and the beds date back a couple of decades. There’s no food for miles; earlier reviews mentioned a bed‑and‑breakfast or the ability to buy breakfast—don’t be fooled. At check‑in the host just said “no” when we asked, then you see a full‑size working refrigerator… empty, not even the expected old ketchup bottle. Two dishwashers (no longer working) and full cabinets of place settings for a crowd, yet no food. Lots of moths; the house is old and the screens are original. By dusk you should assume you’re sharing the space with many critters until morning; keep a hallway light on and they won’t bother you. The whole place is cluttered with piles of old books, VCR tapes, or knick‑knacks—expect that. Zero Wi‑Fi or cell connection for miles before you reach the place on our service plan at least. The instructions are unclear; don’t follow the map—come in only from the north down to the south road. We followed the map’s shortest route, which turned into an eastward road from the main highway, over mountains, past mines and cows, but all dirt, ruts, or gravel—thankful for a high‑clearance SUV, but still stressful as the sun set behind us.

“Stay at the Old Pioneer Gardens annually. Enjoy the facilities and location very much.”

Breakfast isn’t included in the room; bring your own. I liked everything, stay at Old Pioneer Gardens every year, and look forward to next year!
