Yellowstone Lake boasts spectacular views, and Old Faithful is iconicly American. The point is, this national park is packed full of unforgettable experiences, and where you stay should have a similar impact.


Choosing a great location to relax when you're not exploring is crucial to the success of your adventure. Luckily, we have options for you.

Cabins

You could be enjoying a cabin all to yourself, with the birds singing, the wind blowing in your hair, and a national historic landmark out your back window. Yellowstone Park is full of lodging options (including inns and RV parks), but nothing quite compares with our rustic cabins.


When you stay in a standalone cabin, you're getting much more for your money than going with a room in some large building. An inn might be able to offer you private bathrooms and a microwave, but can it offer you a hot tub and sauna? What about a full kitchen and pet-friendly accommodations? 


When making Yellowstone reservations, these are important questions to consider. At Chinook Winds Lodge, we offer accommodations and luxuries that are not available within the boundaries of the National Park.  Select cabins and suites feature a kitchenette or full kitchen, including units 102, WRH, C1, and C2. A small convenience store is also available on site at the front desk.

Our rooms offer true faithful lodge cabin vibes. They may be small, but you will find comfort, peace, and a cozy retreat from your daily activities. At Chinook Winds Lodge, we offer amenities such as 24-hour gym access, customizable climate control, easy access to the outdoors, and pet-friendly accommodations.


All of our rooms have kitchenettes for your convenience, as well as close proximity to Yellowstone's rivers, the Wind River. If you're looking to combine ambiance, comfort, and affordability, this is definitely your ticket to a grand adventure in Yellowstone National Park.


Everything is designed for comfort and convenience, with essential amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, towels, free Wi-Fi in both rooms and public spaces with shared speeds up to 500 Mbps, private bathrooms, premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, and in-room desks or workstations.
