We stayed at Phantom Ranch while doing a rim-to-rim hike through the Grand Canyon. This place is a true oasis and a great place to rest and recover. Our accommodations were in the dormitories, so my wife and I had to split up for the night. We arrived in the afternoon and I was exhausted from the hike down from... More

Stayed here in May 2013 for one night to break up our canyon hike. We were very lucky to get a last minute cancellation the week before (our persistence paid off). We stayed in the female dorm room and had no complaints - it was basic but clean and the beds were comfortable. I thought breakfast (went for the first... More

Stayed here one night on a trip down to the bottom of the canyon. The cabin we had was furnished with two bunk beds, bathroom and a/c. Its was a place to crash for the night since we weren't really in our room much, it was peferct. The history and nostalgia is really pleasant in the fact that not much... More

We were fortunate to get reservations at Phantom Ranch after trying for 2 years. I am told the way to get in is to go to Grand Canyon Bright Angel Lodge and ask daily if there are cancellations. (Reservations are made 1 year in advance, but there is not penalty to cancelling up to just a few days before the... More

Hiking the Grand Canyon should be on every hiker's bucket list. To stay at Phantom is a part of the experience. Do two nights there and hike to Ribbon falls on the rest day. If you have the time, go to Havasu falls (190 miles west) to complete the trifecta.

My visit to Phantom Ranch lived up to my expectations. We left at 6am down the South Kaibab trail and arrived at the Phantom ranch around 10 am for a full day of adventures at the bottom of the Canyon. The staff was very helpful and the gift shop was good (while small). We had a cabin to ourselves for... More

I began calling for a reservation 13 months ahead, as advised, with no luck. I did get a space in the Bright Angel Campground (via lottery type drawing six months ahead of time) but kept trying for the Phantom Lodge from time to time, hoping for a cancellation. By calling every few weeks over a six month period (after I... More

It's incredible that a place like Phantom Ranch even exists! Cabins, dorms, a canteen, toilets, showers and electricity at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We stayed in a cabin for 2 nights. The cabin had two sets of bunk beds, a table with two chairs, a sink and a toilet (showers are located in their own building). There was... More

The hike down the grand canyon in perfect April weather was amazing. The excellent rating on the ranch is based on location as finishing a 7 hour hike to a steak dinner and a dorm room feels amazing. The sleep wasn't great but with 8 guys in a dorm the snoring is inevitable... Accommodations were clean, food was good, especially... More
