Canyon Lodge Cabins - Yellowstone National Park
Staying in the Canyon Lodge Cabins provides easy access to the east side of the park near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Canyon Lodge Western Cabin
We stayed in a 2 queen bed Western Cabin at the Canyon Lodge. The cabins are located just down from the main lodge buildings in a circle pattern. There is parking in front of the majority of cabins but it is first to come first to get a close parking space.
The cabin had 2 queen beds with wooded benches at the end of the bed, a shared nightstand and lights over each bed. There is a large table with two chairs and a bright light right overhead. One warning the light over the table is low and you can easily get blinded if you get to close to it.
The cabin also has a wooden dresser and recycling/garbage container.
There is a private bathroom with a nice size shower/tub combo. The shower has shampoo, conditioner and body wash available in it that actually smells great. The sink is right outside of the toilet/shower area and has soap and lotion plus the world-famous Yellowstone bear soap.
We were in cabin #47 which had a great view out over trees and a grassy area. Our room was at the back of the cabin and was pretty quiet most of the night. We could hear people beeping their car alarms at the end of the day but after everyone was in their cabins it was really quiet.
We woke up to birds chirping outside of the windows which was amazing. The cabins do not have air conditioning so leaving the windows open or using the fan in the room is a great way to cool them down.
The beds were firm like most Yellowstone Lodging and had three small pillows on each bed. If you are someone who likes a lot of pillows or a large pillow you may want to bring one with you.
We were really impressed with how large the Western Cabin room was. It was more than enough space to spread out and relax.
Staying in the Canyon area is great for being able to access Hayden Valley or head anywhere in Yellowstone National Park.
