A Family Affair CEDAR WOOD INN
WRITTEN BY ALANA SNYDER & PHOTOS BY JOHN SNYDER
"I have always liked small family- owned businesses that have a personal approach large chain hotels don't have,” said Starla Pressley of Deadwood's Cedar Wood Inn . Pressley started as a general manager of the Inn, owned by a family friend starting in 2021, and then became co-owners of the motel in April of 2024 with her husband and friend. It’s a family-owned business, with the oldest daughter as the office manager, Pressley’s husband as the maintenance personnel (and mingling with guests), her son mowing the lawn, and the youngest daughter helping cleaning rooms or watching the desk.
