    Iron Horse Inn

    The Iron Horse Inn in Cottonwood offers guests comfortable accommodation with complimentary WiFi, ensuring a pleasant stay. Each room in the motel is furnished with a flat-screen cable TV, a patio, a microwave, and a small refrigerator. Private bathrooms come equipped with a hairdryer for added convenience. Located just a 5-minute drive from the Verde Canyon Railroad, the motel is also in close proximity to local attractions, with Tuzigoot National Monument only a 5-minute drive away and Montezuma Castle National Monument 19 miles distant. Guests staying at the Iron Horse Inn can also enjoy the use of barbecue facilities, and benefit from the free parking provided on the property.

    This is a straightforward motel in Cottonwood built for travelers using the town as a jumping-off point, with rooms that include a microwave, small refrigerator, patio, and free parking. That practical setup suits road-trippers and anyone who wants a clean, no-frills base rather than a full-service resort with dining and pools.

    Its location is the main draw: it sits about a 5-minute drive from the Verde Canyon Railroad and roughly the same from Tuzigoot National Monument, with Montezuma Castle National Monument about 19 miles off. That makes it a fit for visitors planning to spend their days at nearby sites and monuments and return to a simple room with barbecue facilities. Travelers wanting on-site restaurants or nightlife should look elsewhere.
