Top Virginia City Hotel Reviews

Red Bear Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Grea"

Historic Bonanza Inn Room 7 in Virginia City

10/10 Excellent

"It was in a little old building with history. There are only seven rooms. There is no staff that greet you or is at the hotel, but you can contact them at any time. We just loved staying there. It is very clean very well maintained. Very comfortable bed and pillows. The cute little lobby has coffee, tea, and a sitting area for you. If you want to feel like you’re in Virginia City in the older days as far as the building goes, this is the place to stay. You won’t be sorry."

Hangman’s Guest Ranch - Meadowlark Cabin. Entire cabin by historic Virginia City

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and great for being out of the way. No Wifi, no TV so that is what was expected. The part that I didn’t like was finding it. Please put up some kind of signage. Nothing said Hangman’s Ranch, there was no number 18 on the property entrance only a no trespassing sign. We drove a long way down a dirt road looking for it but kept seeing no trespassing signs. Finally we turned around and took a chance on the entrance that was closest to the main road that said no trespassing. Thankfully the description matched once we got to the cabin areas. We were very close to chalking it up as a scam and driving back to Bozeman but the innkeeper had seemed so legit when we corresponded. I would have tried from right there on the dirt road but I didn’t have signal and there was no contact phone number. For future guests there was an arrow that said ‘train station’ pointing down the road but there was no train station. Aside from that, it was a lovely out of the way cabin to go off grid for a night."

Immaculate, homey and perfectly located for your stay in downtown Ennis.

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding location and very convenient to everything Ennis and the Madison River have to offer. Marina was wonderful-excellent hostess and great communication. We could tell she takes great pride in the home and takes great care to ensure you have what you need. The addition of bear spray and camping chairs was much appreciated!"
