Beginning in early March 2008, Westwood Curtis Construction began the demolition of the existing Wagon Wheel Campground and commenced with installation of water and sewer lines to service 64 deluxe cabin structures. Due to unstable soil conditions, the existing materials had to be excavated and stabilized prior to and during construction. Once completed in late June, the newly created Rustic Inn included a swimming pool, restaurant, and front office all with beautiful views of Flat Creek and the National Elk Refuge. In December 2013, the Rustic Inn was listed as one of the Top 50 Hotels Worldwide.
