Hello Travel Fans,

We travel the USA searching for creative chefs, delicious eats, sweet and savory treats, and unique travel destinations. We love the hunt because we are constantly enamored by what we find in small-town America.

Last week was no exception! When we pulled into the charming small town of Stephenville, Texas just west of Fort Worth, we made an unforgettable new discovery the Interstate INN. It’s unique, lovely, modern, and offers memorable experiences.

It was once an old roadside inn that opened over sixty years ago. Today, it’s been reimagined, but they kept the historic feeling and added sophisticated modern designs. It’s a blend of contemporary comfort and the mid-century charm of the original 1965 roadside inn.

It’s a dream of siblings Lisa Lennox, Cathy Bonner, and Kirk Bonner to remodel mid-century roadside motels into dream destinations and revitalize small towns.  Tucked into the heart of your road trip, Mod Motels are destinations worth finding. They are saving these historic motels with sophisticated modern designs and styles. They are a unique boutique destination offering small-town hospitality where comfort, fun, and elegance meet motoring in America once again.

The NEW Interstate INN offers everything you need for an unforgettable evening or a weekend of relaxation. The property has a NEW beautiful pool area with fire pits, seating areas, and even a sundeck in the pool. It also has multipurpose seating areas with colorful, modern, stylish furniture.

Let’s talk about the rooms and how creative those turned out. Each of the 33 rooms at Interstate Inn was uniquely designed, combining the nostalgic charm of mid-century America with modern refinement. From custom-made furnishings to curated local art by Kevin Chupik, every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create a luxurious and welcoming space.

Celebrity chef Stepan Pyles and his magical culinary team create a menu of delicious food, sweet and savory treats, and tasty snacks. The newly created on-site restaurant is called THE SEEKER. The carefully curated menu offers nothing but deliciousness with every bite. It’s simply an unforgettable Texas dining experience. The best thing about THE SEEKER is that you can enjoy the restaurant even if you’re not staying in the motel.

Trey and Jana’s overall take:

The simplest way for us to describe the INTERSTATE INN experience is: “As soon as you pull up, you will notice it’s a special place to relax and enjoy the cozy, modern environment offering an elevated hospitality small-town experience you will fall in love with because we sure did. We highly recommend you visit to enjoy this SPECTACULAR new property in beautiful Stephenville, Texas.”
