The inn, which has served as the lodging for various celebrities, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1995.

In 1929, William Eugene D'Allemund built the first building constructed on the property which was to become known as the Squaw Peak Ranch.

[2] In 1937, William A. and Emily Stopford purchased an 800-acre (320 ha) parcel near the east end of the mountain for $25.00 an acre.

[2][3] The Jenks removed the slot machines and made additions and improvements to the property and its surrounding areas.

However, his plan was not realized due to opposition by the neighbors in the growing residential subdivision that surrounded the Squaw Peak Inn.

The Malouf Brothers developed the Doubletree Canyon subdivision in the area and sold off 720 acres (290 ha) of land.

This did not happen because on October 21, 1980, the developers sold a parcel of just under two acres (0.81 ha) with the two remaining buildings to William "Bill" and Ann Epley.

[2][3] In 1987, the Inn was the major focal point for the made-for-TV movie entitled, "Probe: Plan Nine from Outer Space."

The movie is about aliens who resurrect dead humans as zombies and vampires to stop humankind from creating the Solaranite (a sort of sun-driven bomb).

The structure was also used on May 27, 1993, as a backdrop for an interview of then future Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley for ABC's Prime Time Live.
