Miles End Lodge has become known for its warm hospitality, excellent food, and clean, quiet and comfy cabins among the snow-capped peaks and boundless desert of Central Nevada. Each cabin has its own refrigerator, microwave, dishes, coffee pot, smart phone docks, table and chairs and bathrobes, plus its own private shower. Three cabins have a single queen bed. The Panchot cabin has a king bed and a separate room with a futon and electric fireplace. The Hacienda cabin has a Jacuzzi tub. The Kevie cabin is ADA friendly and has a roll-in tile shower. Guests have exclusive access to a private bar, wood-burning hot tub, and grand rock fireplace in the Lodge. The hot tub is the perfect place to watch some of the darkest skies in the U.S. — you’ll see satellites, the Top Gun night-time training maneuvers, and reach out and touch the Milky Way.

History: Miles End Lodge is at the site of the original Kingston Canyon Ranch from the 1860s. One of the cabins is an original structure to the ranch, and another is from the 1920s. Kingston itself is a historic town, the vision of cowboy and rancher Carl Haas. Kingston was created and constructed in the 1970s. Carl Haas had a vision to build a little European Village at the mouth of Kingston Canyon. The property sits at the center of this small frontier community. Miles End Lodge was Carl’s own house, his Valhalla — hall of the Nordic gods. The tall rock building was constructed with local stones from the Kingston Canyon. It took over five people three years to build, but was never actually completed until the Miles purchased it.
Type of food served: A full breakfast includes fruit, eggs, bacon or sausage, juice and coffee, with occasional pancakes, eggs Benedict, biscuits and gravy and fresh coffee cakes. They will prepare dinner meals with advance notice. John Miles is renowned for his culinary expertise. In 2011, they started offering dinner on weekends, as well as opening the doors to the public for monthly gourmet events, which have become very popular and now include a Friday Prime Rib dinner. Reservations are highly recommended. They’ll also schedule outside barbecues or art and music festivals.
Rates: $115- $165 per night (Two-night minimum weekends and holidays)
Weddings and meetings: Miles End offers weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and retirement parties. They can host a formal sit-down dinner for 50 in the main lodge, or 250-plus for an outdoor barbecue. Special dinner parties can be arranged with as few as 12 guests. Also available are family getaways, corporate retreats and business meetings. The main lodge doubles as meeting rooms.
Popular nearby attractions: The Lodge sits on the Eastern slopes of the Toiyabe Range in Big Smoky Valley, named for the natural haze that mists the valley. The small town of Kingston, with its picturesque churches and general store is a quiet community. The mountain vistas are gorgeous and harbor unlimited opportunities to hike, fish and hunt. The canyons are full of wildlife, archaeological sites, ghost towns and a few hot springs. In the future, Miles End hopes to partner with individuals offering back country skiing on the 11,000-foot-high Bunker Hill, and welcome 4x4ers, and ATVers as they explore the vast western valleys.
