wayside inn
Traveler's rest stop
A wayside inn is a small lodging establishment along a road, offering food and shelter to travelers.
The term evokes an earlier era of horse-drawn travel, when inns provided rest stops between towns: They stopped at a wayside inn for the night.
Now mostly historical or nostalgic, sometimes used in business names to suggest rustic charm.
