This is a 'throwback' property that captures the earlier days of National Park travel. It is right at the doorstep of Canyon de Chelly, which is the main reason you are there. The rooms are more than adequate, and the surroundings nice and quiet. But the real draw is the nature to which you are the closest (but without any views).

This lodge is like a little piece of history and run in a no-fuss manner reminiscent of travel lodges I’ve visited in National Parks over the years. Run by friendly, capable staff and situated near the entrance to Canyon de Chelly, it was the perfect place for me to stay. I hope to return soon, but stay longer next time!
