The more remote North Rim offers up its beauty and solitude to those willing to make a little longer trek to cooler temperatures and greener vegetation of the Grand Canyon's less visited rim. Time means little here in this Nirvana for nature lovers…abundant forest beauty and wrap-around scenic splendor as sheer walls hold in the Colorado River a mile below. The only developed lodging within the National Park’s North Rim boundaries this historic treasure has cabins and lodging tucked into the trees and dotting the canyon edge. The historic dining room with wall to ceiling windows gives diners the unique opportunity to take in the Canyon's views and tasteful regional and sustainable delights for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended. For guests seeking a unique remembrance of their visit to this special place, there is a gift store and convenience store located at the North Rim. Authentic Native American handcrafts, jewelry and merchandise that is U.S.A. made by local and regional artists provide an array of gift items for guests to the Grand Canyon. Smell the pines, listen to the fluttering leaves of quaking aspen, and keep an eye out for a California condor, the largest bird in North America. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is only open from mid May to mid October.

Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
The Grand Canyon North Rim Lodge is celebrated for its incredible proximity to the Grand Canyon, offering guests a chance to be immersed in the natural surroundings that frequently earn praise. However, some travelers have expressed dissatisfaction with the rooms, criticizing their cleanliness, state of repair, and poor noise insulation. Although the rustic charm of the lodge is noted, opinions on value are divided; many guests consider the accommodation overpriced, especially given the expensive dining options and the quality of rooms. Service and amenities receive mixed reviews, with some commendations for attentive staff but also reports of disorganization and maintenance issues.

Basic family room, a bit tired but clean. Room needed some updating but nice to be in the park and had pre-booked as the lodges sell out. Free shuttle bus service around the park from outside the reception/cafeteria building. Great for sunsets and rises. Had also prebooked El Tovar restaurant for dinner in advance and a helicopter ride tour of the canyon the following day.

We have a number of negative remarks: Very expensive for what you get in the lodge part. Only a small fridge and no micro oven. Coffee machine but only coffee for one person. Very long check in time. Luggage to bring using the stairs. Expensive restaurant, food OK but not super. Expensive breakfast in the restaurant. No internet in the rooms. Positive: Very friendly staff. Clean rooms. Close to the rim. Safe environment.

We stayed in one of the rustic cabins . It was acceptable and clean. Need a larger hot water heater. I guess the adjoining cabin uses same heater and there was no hot water for my shower. The place is beautiful nothing negative to add. I would definitely recommend anyone stay here

Stayed in a Western Cabin 4 days before they closed for the 2023 season before our Rim-to-rim hike. The good news is that the cabin was clean, the beds comfortable, and there were no mice or other vermin that I detected. The bad news is that there was also NO HOT WATER. The instructions from the hotel ( written on the back of the check-in sheet ( see photo)) state that either tap could be the hot water tap and that you should run the water for 15" before calling the front desk- I ran both taps for 20" and nothing. When I called they said maintenance wouldn't be in until 6am ( we were out the door for out hike at 6:00am). I know that these are "historic cabins" - but is there some reason they couldn't label the taps - they MUST know which cabins have reversed taps! The other problem was there was a coffee maker ( keurig -type); but no coffee because the hotel had run out. This seems like whomever ordered the supplies didn't do a great job - they know how many rooms they have; near 100% occupancy, and they know how many days they are open- They shouldn't run out. They had also run out of most of the toiletries / tissue as well. I would 100% go again- because the location is phenomenal ( prefer the North Rim to the South by far!)- but I would be prepared - I would have all my own toiletries and I would bring my own coffee. I would aslo check the hot water situation first thing when I checked in!

Long story short I kept stalking the reservations page to upgrade from outside the park to a motel room at lodge, to a Western Cabin. So happy I snagged one (about 2 weeks before our trip!). The cabin itself was clean and comfy. Didn't see any evidence of mice others have reported. Our cabin 355 was possibly the closest to the parking lot but with a great porch view of sunrise (but admittedly you can't really see rim so we had walked the grounds for sunrise). Such a great porch that I do regret a bit that we hadn't stayed another hour or two later just sitting there enjoying the quiet nature of it. Dinner in lodge was wonderful and fast. I highly recommend the Supai Pablano Chicken! My husband enjoyed his ribeye. And a few beers at the rough rider saloon were also great. But even better was that they opened at 530 for coffee to grab to watch the sunrise from the gorgeous patio or close walkable viewpoints.

We have stayed in the western cabins a number of times, including this being three years in a row. I hate to post this review as I have always been satisfied. We came prepared with a plastic tote for food, as we have had mice in the room in the past and also bought a couple of mouse traps after reading this years reviews. We had a mouse trap already in our room and didn't see any this trip. Check in was long and even though we were there after check in time, the room wasn't ready. Finally got into the room. The floor was dirty. Ok, I was used to a little dirt, but the floor between the bed and wall looked as if it hadn't been cleaned all season. The only word for the bathroom floor is filthy, even having used soap disc on the floor. I thought this strange as they have soap/shampoo dispensers and usually don't give bar soap. All dispensers were empty and they gave us a small half dollar size disc of soap. Guess the remnants of previous guests was what was on the floor. We were given two towels and two face clothes. When I requested a bath mat, we were given a face towel, so it became a bath mat. .two chairs in the room had extremely dirty upholstery. Front desk told us no coffee or clocks in the room. The coffee maker was there but parts missing so you couldn't use it. I don't understand the no clocks. If I wake in the night or am reading, I like to be able to look at a clock without dragging out my phone to check the time. I realize there was a late opening this year, but if you open, you should have everything ready for guests. The one positive, aside from location, was the bed was comfortable and appeared to be new. I hope Aramark can make improvements as this lodge is a wonderful place and it is sad that lack of upkeep and cleaning leaves a bad taste for guests.

We stayed in one of the cabins for two nights and it was not great. The first room we were given was not cleaned. We were given a second room that was barely cleaned. There was a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. No soap or shampoo in the dispensers and 1/2 roll of toilet paper. There was an adjoining door to the next cabin and we could hear everything in the next room including bathroom use and snoring. I knew we were getting a “rustic” cabin but I thought it would at least be clean. We were promised an adjustment after we informed a lovely lady named Rose of our issues but never received one. Would not recommend.

This is a review about the Grand Canyon North rim post office but I did not see a separate way to review it. Last visit to the north rim the gift shop and post office were both closed, I was so glad that on September 30, 2023 on a day visit to see that the gift shop was open. The post office, however, was closed due to being a Saturday. We were assured though, that when we purchased and wrote postcards, that if we deposited them in the letter slot of the post office on site, that the special 'NORTH rim" stamp cancellation would be on all of them. When the post cards arrived, however, they were all cancelled with a "Phoenix AZ" cancellation. I was quite disappointed. I called the gift shop and they were able to get in touch with the on site post office about this. A couple of days later. Dean, from the North Rim Grand Canyon post office called me back. He wanted to hear what happened and he was truly puzzled about how this occurred since he is the only person at that location. He seemed to understand how important this was to me. Dean wanted to make this right and he DID!!! He personally purchased the postcards and stamps that I had originally chosen and cancelled them and sent them to me in an envelope. Dean went over and beyond and really made a positive difference!!! He was kind, problem solved and did as he promised. He definitively should be recognized as an outstanding customer service postal employee. If the USPS had more employees like Dean; the USPS would be thought of in a much more positive way! I wanted to call Dean's boss but as he is the only postal employee there, he explained that there was no one to contact. I called the North rim Grand Canyon lodge and was told something similar.

They have no parking lot & expect you to park in the Grand Canyon Visitor Ctr lot. We walked quite a way with our luggage and were told to park in the overflow parking lot as our room was so far away from the main lodge. Lugged our stuff back to the car, and went to the designated parking space. Took only some of our stuff across the street to our room. I booked a room instead of a cabin thinking it would be closer to the main lodge and roomier. BIG MISTAKE on both assumptions. Room was tiny. No tissues in the dispenser, and only 1 keurig coffee for the 2 of us. Bed was the worst (soft & only 1 thin blanket) as was the shower (wife refused to use it) on our 10 day trip.

We have been to the south rim twice and it has been a bucket list item to visit the north rim, met all expectations. We stayed in one of the Frontier Cabins. (I had read many reviews of mice, cold water, no heat, noise so I was wary.) These are old buildings but we found the beds, one double, one twin, comfortable, heat and hot water plentiful. All was extremely clean, bathroom tight but tile in perfect condition. We could hear the adjoining neighbors at times but the community of visitors seem to be a quiet, early to bed crowd. I would not bother with a canyon view room. We spent non hiking time sitting on the porches-perfect!! Check in begins at 4pm. For some reason, everyone waits in a crazy long line. I don’t know if people are hoping for upgrades. We just waited till there was no line and checked in.
