2 Best Hotels in Mt. Charleston, Southeast Nevada

At the end of Route 157 at 7,717 feet above sea level, you find this lodge on the perch of Kyle Canyon. The two dozen cabins are all separate structures with outside entries and varying layouts, including a "lovebirds" cabin with private mountain views, and a 750-square-foot events cabin for small meetings and/or family retreats. All of them have an outside patio deck, satellite TV with a DVD player and a large selection of DVDs in the main office, gas fireplace, jetted bathtub, mini-refrigerator, and microwave. In September 2021, the lodge's restaurant burned down in a fire and has yet to be rebuilt. 

This three-story resort is the first stop along Kyle Canyon Road (about 17 miles up). It has the feel of a lodge, including a four-sided stone fireplace to gather around in the spacious lobby, which is appointed with vintage pinball games. The Canyon Restaurant provides large-window views of the surrounding mountainscape. There is a cocktail lounge with a rotating selection of regional beers on tap and a pool table, and a 24-hour convenience store/snackbar where you can pick up a map pinpointing the area's hiking trails. The hotel has 61 rooms with flat-screen TVs, and some have wall heaters that look like wood-burning fireplaces. Outdoor seating around the property provides a great way to take in the majestic scenery.
