There’s a stretch of highway where I-80 meets I-25, right in the heart of Wyoming, where something unexpected happens. The wide-open plains give way to 80 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, and what looks like just another exit becomes a destination all its own. For decades, travelers have been pulling off the interstate and discovering what generations of families already know: Little America Cheyenne isn’t just a place to stop. It’s a place to stay.
Travel experts say 2026 is the year people stop rushing through and start settling in. They’re looking for destinations that feel genuine, accommodations with room to breathe, and the kind of hospitality that doesn’t come from a script. If that sounds like the kind of year you’re hoping for, we think you’ll feel right at home here.
Resolve to Give Your Family Room to Breathe
One trend that keeps growing? Travelers are choosing space over everything else. After too many trips spent bumping elbows in cramped quarters, families are seeking out accommodations where everyone can spread out and actually relax.
Our brand-new Wyoming Suites were designed with exactly that in mind. At 880 square feet, these are the most spacious accommodations in Cheyenne—a separate living area where the kids can play games while the adults unwind, a fully stocked kitchenette for warming up leftovers or making late-night hot cocoa, and a king bed plus sofa bed that sleeps up to four without anyone feeling crowded. The oversized soaking tub is where parents steal a quiet moment while the kids watch movies in the other room. The walk-in closet allows you to unpack and settle in, rather than living out of a suitcase. And the local art on the walls reminds you exactly where you are—in the heart of the West, surrounded by Wyoming’s wide-open beauty.
Resolve to Let Someone Else Do the Cooking
Here’s a resolution every parent can get behind: more time at the table, less time in the kitchen. At Hathaway’s Restaurant, we’ve been serving authentic Western dishes in a dining room that feels like gathering around your family’s table—just with someone else handling the cooking and the cleanup.
This isn’t fancy for fancy’s sake. It’s made-from-scratch comfort food, the kind that fuels a morning of adventure or caps off a long day on the road. Start your day right with breakfast plates. Dinner favorites, such as the Cowboy Ribeye or Elk Burger, give you a genuine taste of Wyoming. And for the holidays, festive buffets that let you focus on what actually matters—being present with the people you love, not stressing over a mountain of dishes.
Resolve to Play a Little More
Travel forecasters have noticed something: people are choosing destinations where fun doesn’t require a packed itinerary or an hour in the car. They want to step outside and find something to do, right there, without a plan.
Little America Cheyenne is that kind of place. Our nine-hole executive golf course is immaculately groomed and surrounded by views of the Wyoming prairie—you might even spot pronghorn antelope or wild ducks during your round. Prefer something the whole family can try? Our disc golf course winds through the property, offering 9 holes in summer and a full 18-hole layout in winter. And when the weather warms up, our heated outdoor pool becomes the centerpiece of every family vacation—big enough to actually swim in, with plenty of lounge chairs for the grown-ups who’d rather watch.
Sometimes the best memories come from the unplanned moments. A spontaneous round of disc golf. An afternoon by the pool that stretches into evening. A walk around the grounds just to see where the path leads.
Resolve to Make the Journey Part of the Trip
There’s a reason road trips are making a comeback. After years of rushing to get somewhere, travelers are rediscovering the joy of the drive itself—the freedom, the flexibility, the unexpected discoveries along the way.
Little America Cheyenne was built for road-trippers. Our 24-hour travel center means you can fuel up, grab a bite, and get back on the road whenever your schedule demands. But more than that, our location at the crossroads of two major interstates makes us the perfect place to break up a long drive and turn a pit stop into a proper stay. Why push through when you could settle into a spacious suite, enjoy a real dinner at Hathaway’s, and wake up refreshed for the next leg of your journey?
Resolve to Start a New Tradition
The best family traditions aren’t forced. They grow naturally from places and moments that just feel right—the hotel where everyone always wants to stay, the restaurant where you always get the same booth, the pool where the kids learned to cannonball.
Little America Cheyenne has been that place for generations of families. And whether you’re discovering us for the first time or coming back to a place that already feels like home, we’re here to welcome you the same way we always have: with genuine hospitality, spacious rooms, and the kind of warmth that makes you want to return.
Here’s to a year of open roads, wide-open spaces, and a place that feels like home at the end of the day. We’ll leave the light on for you.
