    Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel Cabins - Yellowstone National Park

    One thing to know is there are cabins with and without private bathrooms. You will want to confirm which type of cabin you are booking while making reservations.

    The cabins provide easy access to the historic Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel! Make sure to check out the gorgeous map room.

    They are located right next to the Mammoth Hot Springs area of the park.

    Frontier Cabin 2 Queen Beds

    The Mammoth Hot Springs Cabins are located behind the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in a couple of loops. The cabins are mostly single units with small front porches with two chairs for relaxing.

    We stayed in a cabin with 2 queen beds and a private bath. The room had the two queen beds with a shared nightstand, a chair, and a private bathroom with shower, toilet, sink, and toiletries. There is shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower along with hand soap and lotion by the sink.

    The beds were firm like most of the lodging in Yellowstone National Park. Overall the cabin was cute and pretty quiet considering how close they are to each other. You can hear cars pull through the grounds but it wasn’t that bad.

    One thing to look for when walking up to the cabins is elk poop. There was a lot of droppings showing how often the elk are in the area. You will want to make sure and look out in the grounds before heading out of the cabin in the morning to make sure you don’t spook an elk.

    There is parking along the sides of each cabin and behind them. Parking can get tight if all of the cabins are booked. It is first to come first parked.

    The cabins are fairly small but had everything we needed for staying in the park. There was not a ton of space if you have a ton of luggage or need room to spread out. The cabin was a great place to sleep but not a place I would spend a ton of time hanging out in.

    Staying in the Mammoth Hot Springs Cabins provides great easy access to Mammoth Hot Springs and Lamar Valley along with heading out of the north entrance to Gardiner, Montana.

    Frontier Cabins have private bathrooms with a shower, sink, and toilet.

    There are also four Hot Tub Cabins available that have a private 6-person hot tub within a fenced enclosure.  Along with a private bath that includes a shower, toilet, and sink.

    One Room and Two Room Cabins without a bath have a vanity sink but no toilet or shower. Shared bathrooms with private showers are located nearby.
