Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins

About This Property

Mission: Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins in Yellowstone. A historic lodge at the north end of the park with 211 rooms and cabins. Open late April through early March, with cabins without hot tubs closing mid-October to early March. Not luxury, but the access to Mammoth terraces, wildlife viewing, and the park’s northern rail make it worth it. We take those.

Property History

The Honest Truth

This is not a luxe property. It’s a historic lodge with real Yellowstone atmosphere. Wifi is limited outside hotel rooms; cabins lack in-room WiFi; heating keeps you warm but there’s no AC. If you want the park access and a sense of place, it delivers; if you need glossy contemporary comfort, look elsewhere.

Who Should Skip This

Skip if you require in-cabin Wi-Fi, air conditioning, or ultra-modern baths; if you crave 24/7 modern convenience, pass.

Booking Insider Tip

Direct booking preferred: https://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/lodgings/cabin/mammoth-hot-springs-hotel-cabins/. Book 6 months in advance for peak season. Request a landscape view and a back-building room to minimize road noise.

What Guests Say

Historic lodge experience with strong Yellowstone access. Modern amenities are limited; wifi sparse in cabins and no in-room AC. Great for wildlife viewing and north-park access, but manage expectations on comfort level and fees.
