We went to the North Rim for 5 nights looking for reasonably comfortable cabins in a beautiful and quiet setting where we could enjoy hiking, sitting quietly, watching birds and wildlife. But our experience at the Western Cabins /North Rim Lodge gave us anything but-- and we have never seen such a badly degraded landscape. Trucks and other vehicles routinely... more

If you want multiple choices of food and entertainment, then plan a trip to Disneyworld. If you want tranquility, small crowds and to get away from Big City Life, this may be the place for you. We have stayed at the North Rim twice before and are going for a third time this spring. Each time we have enjoyed excellent... more

After reading some of the negative reviews, I would like to put some of those points into the correct perspective and share my experience: - "No hot water in room?" - Actually, you can get extremely hot water in your cabin. Some of the cabins were built over 70 years ago and get their water from a central boiler. So... more

It is a must to visit, totally different than the south rim. Little more rugid. Much quieter and more in touch with mother nature. The views are spectacular. On our drive into the park we saw buffalo and a coyote. more

More rustic, rugid, rough, wildlife, and less people. All together this equals a fantastic Grand Canyon experience, yes there are more tourist attractions on the South Rim but don't forget the Canyon is the reason why you are there. The views are spectacular, you are around 2000mts higher on the North Rim with the sun shining onto the Canyon from... more

Last year, we stayed at the 'motel' inside the park at the South Rim and had a great experience, so we figured a motel room, in the park, at the North Rim would be similar. We couldn't have been more wrong. North Rim is great, but so much smaller, so choices are limited. Only lodging is inside the park and... more

We were prepared for the rustic accomodations at the north rim by my mom, who had been there previously and wanted to make sure we were ready for it. It was way better than we expected. We had both sides of two duplex rim view pioneer cabins, so hearing the neighbors snore wasn't an issue for us :) We had... more

As mentioned in other reviews this is your only hotel option if you go to the north rim. We had a cabin. Upon arrival we had to wait in a huge line to check in. And when our turn came up, the closed one of the two desks even though there was still a huge waiting line. After receiving our... more

The extra hours spent driving to the North Rim are well worth it: beautiful views enroute from the Page, AZ area, of the Vermillion Cliffs, much better views (in my opinion) than from the South Rim: and MUCH less populated. Not at all crowded and almost a sense of being there together: as on a ship or at a camp.... more
