Maswik Lodge - Grand Canyon National Park
Overall the Maswik Lodge offers the opportunity to stay on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon with easy access to the park. You can wake up and be at the South Rim within a few minutes' drive or a bit of a hike.
The lodge is located back in the Ponderosa Pine Forest, not on the actual rim. It is a large complex with multiple buildings. If you have any mobility restrictions or can not do stairs easily you will want to note that in your reservation.
Some of the buildings are two stories and require using stairs to reach the 2nd level. The rooms are motel style rooms with basic amenities.
Parking is available near all of the buildings making it easy to transport your luggage into the room.

Room Amenities
We stayed in a 2 queen room in the Spruce Building at Maswik Lodge. Our room had an ADA Bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The room was larger than expected and included a table with 2 metal chairs, tv stand with a dresser with a few drawers, a mini-fridge, and in room coffee can be prepared with the Mr. Coffee single-serve coffee maker.
I do have to say the beds were not as comfortable as I hoped they would be. There were definite divets in the bed that you had to line your body up with in order to not feel like half your body was going up or downhill.
The beds had 4 mini pillows that we bunched together to make a full-size pillow. If you are picky about your pillow you may want to bring one with you.
The room was quiet even on a holiday weekend. There is a small outside patio with 2 Adirondack chairs and a small table that look out over the woods. There are 2 steps down to the patio.
The room also has a nightstand between the two beds with an alarm clock with USB ports for charging phones along with a telephone.
Rooms feature a refrigerator, coffeemaker, air conditioning, safe, satellite TV, telephone, hairdryer, and two queen-sized beds or one king-sized bed.

North Rim Lodging Options
Sadly, on July 12, 2025 The Grand Canyon Lodge on the north rim was completely lost as it caught fire in the Dragon Bravo Fire. Approximately 50 to 80 structures were lost and has led to the closure of the North Rim to all public access for the remainder of the 2025 season.
Closed in the winter, the Grand Canyon North Rim Lodge is the only in-park accommodation in the North Rim part of the Grand Canyon.
It's well sought-out so book your rooms at least a year in advance. The cozy and rustic design, coupled with the limestone architecture, genuinely brings the canyons' natural beauty into the lodge itself.
