About Us

The Clyde Hotel was established in 1870 by Mr. Dan Lussadder. The original structure was a 16X24, 2-story frame building. Mr. Lussadder was convicted of murder and sentenced to prison.

The Hotel then fell into the hands of Mr. Henry Huff. Mr. Huff added six rooms to serve the traveling public. Mr. George Wilkes, Sr. assumed the proprietorship in 1878, building an additional 4 rooms in 1884 which entirely changed the interior design. In 1885, he erected the brick addition which included an office and 4 guest rooms and a basement

under the entire structure. Steam heat was added in 1886.

In 1912, Mr. C. J. Bachand continued to add to the structure with the blocks made on site. It was a 2-story building with 10 guest rooms upstairs and a dining area on the main floor. 1 shower and 1 restroom were available to all guests.

Jerry and Laura Lee Stenberg bought the property in 1968 from Mr. L. B. Finley. The structure was in such poor condition,

the original frame was demolished. The Stenberg’s completely remodeled the dining room and created the family room, kitchen, 2 bedroom and 2 bath

on the 1st floor. Remodeling of the guest rooms were completed two at a time adding a private bath to each guest room.

On July 1st, 2017, Zach Widen and Jayda Branfort purchased the hotel from Jerry and Laura Lee Stenberg. The Stenberg’s owned the hotel for nearly 50 years! The hotel will continue to get updated and The Clyde Hotel history will continue to live on. Read our blog on the new ownership here.

Currently, the guest rooms still feature original woodwork and artifacts from the original hotel as well as other antique structures in the community. Each guest room was uniquely decorated by a professional interior decorator while the Stenberg’s owned the hotel.
