About This Home

Historic Bowbells Hotel with Mixed-Use Possibilities. Discover a unique investment opportunity in the heart of Bowbells, North Dakota with this charming two-story historic hotel property full of character, flexibility, and future potential. The main hotel features 12 rooms and 12 bathrooms, including two spacious two-room suites, several rooms with private baths, and two rooms that share a conveniently located hall bathroom. One room is handicap accessible. Currently, three rooms are being used as living quarters but can easily be converted back into guest rooms to maximize revenue potential or more rooms could be converted to apartments. The building retains a warm, historic feel and timeless charm, offering guests a memorable small-town hospitality experience. The basement includes a large area with heated floors, ideal for conversion into a private event space, meeting room, bar area, or entertainment venue—adding another potential income stream to the property. The hotel is heated with a waste oil boiler and utilizes portable air conditioning units for guest comfort in the rooms. Attached to the main building is an additional structure that previously housed a café and is currently unfinished. This space offers excellent potential for redevelopment as a café, bar and grill, office space, or other commercial rental to serve the needs of the community and travelers alike. Also included on the property is a freestanding “bunkhouse” building with four rooms, each with its own bathroom. Once finished, this space could provide additional rentable units and would be especially attractive during hunting season or for extended-stay guests. With multiple buildings, flexible-use spaces, and strong redevelopment potential, this property presents a rare opportunity to own and expand a distinctive hospitality and commercial asset in northwest North Dakota.
