The Ore House Inn is in a 130-year-old historic building in the middle of New Castle. It’s close to many different things to do and see, like skiing, hot springs, Rifle Mountain Park, and the Flat Tops Wilderness.

While pets are welcome, there is a nightly fee per pet (up to a maximum of two pets). Payment can be made at the time of booking, and dogs should only be left alone if they are crated.

History

The ground floor of this structure, which was constructed in 1892, has always been occupied. It has served as a variety of businesses, including a general store, a pool hall, a gas station, and many restaurants. New Castle’s mining background is reflected in the corridors, while the upstairs was a boarding house and maybe a brothel in its heyday.

Amenities

Free parking, Wi-Fi, and electric vehicle charging are just a few of the fantastic perks offered by this inn. There are also kid-friendly activities and a laundry facility. Guests may take advantage of the convenient on-site meals and drinks at the hotel’s restaurant and bar. Every room has a minimum of a one-night stay.

Room Types

Seven uniquely themed rooms make for a fun and exciting stay. Immerse yourself in a new world while you sleep and explore the New Castle area.
