The history of The Stowaway Inn goes back almost 100 years. The oldest section of the building houses the commercial space/restaurant facing north on Buffalo Drive.
This building was moved to its current location from just outside of the original park gates in 1932. It has been home to various businesses over its lifetime, including a general store, and a bank.
In 1936 the middle section of the hotel was added on with the south portion of the hotel going up in 1942.
These two wings of the lodge were built to provide accommodation for visitors of RMNP.
