Headwaters Lodge Cabin Premium 1 King
We stayed in a cabin with a king bed at the Flagg Ranch at Headwaters and it worked great. The lodge is located perfectly between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park in the John D. Rockefeller Parkway.
We found it easy to access both the southern portion of Yellowstone and the Northern area of Grand Teton from the cabin.
Our cabin had a king-size bed in a large cabin that shares a wall with one other room. The room also had a nice desk with a chair, two chairs by a circle desk, a dresser, a small refrigerator, microwave, and a private bathroom.
The bathroom included a large counter with a sink in the main area along with a smaller room with a toilet and a nice size shower. The shower had amazing water pressure and was perfect after a day out exploring the parks.
The bed was slightly firm but had a ton of pillows making it great for relaxing. Like most National Park Lodges the room did not have a television. There is a phone in case you need to call the main lodge for information.

One of the best parts of the Flagg Ranch cabin was the two rocking chairs on the back porch and the view looking out over the woods. You could easily relax and just soak up the view waiting for wildlife to walk by.
There is one shared parking lot for all of the cabins with easy access points to each cabin. There are paved walkways that lead to each of the cabins. Our cabin was in the back row and it was a short walk to the cabin.
The cabins are spread out perfectly so you do not hear anyone else and can just enjoy a great night's sleep.
The main lodge building includes a coffee bar and restaurant. We have eaten at the restaurant multiple times and always enjoyed it. I will say the pancakes at breakfast are always a bit thick and heavy. If you like a light buttermilk pancake you may want to skip them and try the biscuits and gravy.
At lunch the bison chili is amazing!
