My husband and I arrived at the Bright Angel Lodge after stopping at the Visitor's center for our first look at the incredible Grand Canyon. We checked in early- about 1:30pm and our room was already ready for us. I recommend getting a private bathroom, those in previous reviews who complain about using shared toilets and showers...well, you don't have... More

I chose a rim side cabin with partial view during the planning stages almost 10 months in advance, because no cabin with a view existed vacant. You must plan at least 1 year in advance if that's what you desire. Our room was #6148 which was about middle of the stretch of cabins. There is access to ice as long... More

My wife and I stayed at Bright Angel Lodge in one of their cabins. I had never been to the Grand Canyon before, so I was not sure what to expect. I had heard it was spectacular, but wanted to experience it first hand. We checked in after dark, so I was not able to see how far we were... More

Like what many reviewers have said, the location of Bright Angel lodge on the rim of the Canyon is amazing. We had a great sunset tour of the Canyon and our guide was amazing.

I booked a "partial rim view" cabin a year in advance -- the "full rim view" cabins were all gone. So plan ahead!!

The setting right next to the Canyon is amazing and, whilst not a five-star resort, amenities are great, rooms comfortable but not grand, and there is always the incredible view! The shuttle bus works well and is reasonably frequent More

My wife and I stayed in a cabin last weekend and it was great. I was a little concerned at first because it was located next to the road, but there is virtually no traffic in the evenings, so no problem. Nicely updated bathroom, very well kept and very clean (the cabins were built in 1935, so you are litterally... More

If you're overnighting at the Grand Canyon south rim this is such a cool option! Book early, very early, and you might be lucky enough to get a rim cabin from which you ann sit on your little stoop and enjoy the view a few steps from the canyon edge, truly amazing! Our little cabin was about 25 steps off... More

The cabins were very close to the south rim, just outside your front door, where other lodges were a walk away. and if you go you must take the helicopter ride, although i hate heights, its the best thing i have done!!! More
