Old Faithful Snow Lodge

Yellowstone National Park


This modern lodge was built in 1999 in a ‘New Western’ style and offers the only winter accommodations available at Old Faithful. The main lodge has a stylish lobby decorated in bear and elk motifs and 134 comfortable, cozy and somewhat bland modern hotel rooms, with two double beds, down comforters, hair dryer, fridge and coffeemaker.

The pine-walled Frontier cabins ($129) are fairly simple but come with shower, sink and coffeemaker. The modern Western cabins ($219) are more spacious, with two queen beds, and are warmer in winter. Winter rates are around 10% higher. The main lodge has a laundromat and there's paid wi-fi in the lobby.
