Otter Creek Lodge — Hotel in Ogallala

This little hidden eatery was very rustic and down by the water way. Kinda, secluded with all that nature puts in the way. 👣 What a great place to get away for a hike and then stop got a bite to eat. I just the loved the inside decor. Rural but at the same time vintage. Quiet and quaint as I walked in and looked around. At first you are in a little store with wooden shelves and then in the dining area with a vintage lunch counter lined with stools.
