Canyon Cabins Review

Unattractive and unassuming, these pine-frame cabins are arranged in clusters of four, six, and eight. All have private bathrooms, and the fancier ones also have knotty-pine bed frames and other nice touches. Travelers pick this place based on its location—in the heart of the park less than 30 minutes away from Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, and Yellowstone Lake. You can park close to your cabin door, so you don't have far to schlep your luggage. A trail takes you to a scenic overlook—it's through bear country, so make a lot of noise and carry bear spray. Three restaurants and a bar are nearby.

    Don't expect the comfort of a chain...
    But Frontier cabins are large, clean and quite.
    Bathrooms are showers but of good size.
    No phone, no A/C, no TV.
    We were in M2-2 and M2-4, far from traffic.
    Price is correct for a park : 96 $/night.
    Decent restaurant for dinner, no good breakfast in the restaurant, the deli or the small diner in the shop...

    It would have been nice to have some outdoor furniture or tables to eat outside. We had a large family gathering with four cabins next to each other, but there was nowhere to comfortably gather.
