The property includes a food court with a cafeteria and café serving meals and snacks throughout the day.

The cabins at Old Faithful Lodge provide a basic, rustic experience suitable for travelers looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. While some cabins include showers, restrooms and additional shower facilities are shared and located a short walk away.

Wow. Old Faithful Lodge is the place to get some sleep, get coffee or a quick breakfast, then sit and meditate while watching Old Faithful erupt. This geyser has a set schedule on the internet if you want to know when it does. The setting is great. Vast lodge with lots of seating. It is a large log cabin with a fireplace (propane), windows facing the geyser, gift shop with snacks and drinks, a cafeteria (open 12pm to 6pm) and a cafe (open 6am-12pm) and featured artists and photographers. This park will move you to become an artist or photographer because it is very breathtaking. The room that I was in had a shower, because some of them do not. It was clean (had an old smell though) and the heater works very well. The bed was comfortable and there is a lot of lighting

We had a wonderful stay at Old Faithful Lodge cabins built in 1904. Great place to unplug and enjoy life back at the beginning of 20th century. There are options for meals. Be prepared to walk a very short distance to the restrooms and shower area. Be prepared to not have usual amenities like TV or a mini fridge. We had a great experience staying at Old Faithful Lodge Cabins.

We lucked out with a single cabin rather than the 4-plex cabin, and the location so close to the geyser was phenomenal. Loved sitting on porch facing Old Faithful. Very limited breakfast options here, only espresso/coffee and packaged pastries. Cafeteria opens at 11am. But you can walk to another nearby lodging for better breakfast options.

A very nice option to stay inside the park. The cabins are cozy, clean and well maintained. Good value for money. The location is excellent. Since it is 2 minutes walk to the Old Faithful geyser, you get the chance to see it erupt multiple ties over your stay.

Amazing location! We stayed for 2 nights and we're able to see Old Faithful go off 4 times as we'd see it before we headed out into the park in the morning and after we'd returned in the evening. The cabin was a bit small and rustic but clean and with an old school charm.

We stayed in a cabin, which was small, but nice enough. We didn’t have hot water, because the pipes froze and we had to let the sink drip all night per their request, which was fine, but the sink was located between the beds. They did give us a discount, which made up for it. They also offered use of a shower in the main lodge, but I just ended up taking a quick cold shower. I do wish they had some better pillows. They were a bit lumpy. The location can’t be beat for the price. It was quiet, while still being near everything that old faithful had to offer.

It was a very pleasant stay here because I was able to enjoy sunset and watch the periodic old faithful geyser and enjoy the breeze. And then I am able to return to my lodge efficiently.

A short walk to Old Faithful, these cabins are quiet and clean, and the most economical option short of camping in the Park. Just don’t expect luxury! These are rustic, with reasonably comfortable beds and only a sink. Communal restrooms and showers are close by. Wi-fi is spotty, but if that’s what you come to the Park for, please adjust your priorities!
