mountain inn

Highland traveler's rest

A mountain inn is a lodging establishment located in mountainous terrain, typically offering food, drink, and overnight accommodation to travelers and hikers.

These inns range from rustic refuges along hiking trails to comfortable resort-style lodges: We stopped at a mountain inn after a long day on the trail.

The term evokes alpine hospitality—warm fires, hearty meals, and scenic views.
