Old Faithful Inn - Yellowstone National Park

Old Faithful Inn is, in my opinion,  the most iconic of all the National Park Lodges within the entire National Park System!

Those lucky enough to stay in this lodge have the opportunity to be ideally situated in the Upper Geyser Basin and next to Old Faithful Geyser.

It is also a fully functional lodge that is open seasonally every year (approximately May to October), offering 329 guest rooms, a full-service restaurant, lounge, snack bar, gift shop, and daily tours.

Architect Robert Reamer developed the Old Faithful Inn. It was completed in 1904, utilizing locally sourced logs and stone in its construction.

The Old Faithful Inn was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

Pulling up to the hotel's portico and walking into the lobby is breathtaking. It looks like a scene from a movie, and you can’t believe it is real.

The lobby area is filled with visitors gazing at the wood railings, the massive fireplace, and the large clock. Upon entering, you can see an art gallery, a gift shop, a bell desk, a registration area, and various seating areas.

Perhaps the best part for me was waking up early in the morning before everyone else was out and watching Old Faithful erupt, and not a soul was around!

About the Old Faithful Inn

The Old Faithful Inn was designed in the National Park Rustic (Parkitecture) style, featuring a rustic lodge with a log and wood shingle exterior.

The lodge is considered the largest log structure in the world!

The lodge has gone through several additions, and the original part of the inn is known as the “Old House”.

The Old Faithful Inn historic hotel features 329 guestrooms, with either private bathrooms (in the east wing and west wing) or shared baths in the Old House portion.

The lobby area features 76-foot-tall ceilings, a massive rough stone fireplace, and overhanging balconies and railings crafted from gnarled logs.

The clock is handcrafted with copper, wood, and wrought iron.

Make sure to look for the crow nest on the third floor of the Old Faithful Inn. The Crow's Nest was closed after the 1959 earthquake that damaged the inn.

It is honestly a bit overwhelming; there is so much to see and experience in a short time when you walk into the lobby area. I found myself stopping and just staring at the massive wood pillars and balconies.

Okay, enough about the lodge for now, here are the details you will need to know. Afterwards, I have added the history of the lodge.

Park Ranger John Pro Tip: 

If you arrive right when check-in begins, expect a long line. Sometimes the line can stretch across the lobby and almost down the hall.

We saw this line and quickly decided to come back an hour or two after check-in started. We were able to walk right up and check in, and registration was a breeze to complete.

Standard 1 Queen Bedroom (review)

We stayed in a standard one-queen hotel room at the Old Faithful Inn. Our room was located on the “garden level,” which is on the 1st floor. One thing to always remember when staying at a historic lodge is that the rooms are almost secondary to the location and the lobby area.

This means that when the lodge was built, park visitors at the time spent their time in the park and the main lodge area, socializing. They only went to their room to sleep; after all, this was a significant life event for anyone at the time.

There were two sets of stairs down to our room on the garden level. If you have any mobility restrictions that prevent you from easily maneuvering downstairs with luggage, you may want to inform them when making your reservation.

There is an elevator, but it does not go down to the garden level; it only goes to one level above us.

The room features a sink, dresser, small closet, queen bed, two nightstands, a small chair, and a private bathroom.

Not all of the rooms have a private bathroom, remember in the early 1900's it was common for hotels to have shared bathrooms. 

Being on the garden level, the room was a bit loud before other guests headed to sleep. You could hear the steam heat vents gurgling and people walking down the halls, talking. Thankfully, the steam heat vents gurgling turned into white noise, and we fell asleep quickly and easily.

Old House Room with Bath

The Old House Rooms are situated within the historic Old House of the hotel. They have either 1 or 2 queen beds, a private bathroom, an alarm clock, a fan, and a hairdryer.

Old House Room without a Bathroom

The Old House Rooms without a bathroom are located in the Old House of the hotel. They do not have a private bathroom! The bathrooms are shared, including the showers.

The rooms have either 1, 2, or 3 queen beds, with a sink located within the room. There are no coffee makers in the room.

Facts about Old Faithful Inn

The inn's foundation and fireplace are constructed with rhyolite which was produced by Yellowstone's volcanic eruptions.

The fireplace is made from 500 tons of stone.

There used to be a printing press in the Inn's Basement. They would print the daily menus for the restaurant.

The Old Faithful Inn was saved during the fires of 1988. The inn has roof sprinklers that had been installed a year before the fires.

When the Inn opened it cost $4 a night for a room with the bathroom down the hall.

The lobby measures 76 ½ feet from floor to ceiling.

Old Faithful Inn History

Nestled among the hills in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming sits the Old Faithful Inn, which boasts views of the famous Old Faithful Geyser.

This magnificent building is one of the largest log structures in the world.  It is a United States National Historic Landmark.

As many know, it was President Theodore Roosevelt who is credited as the creator of National Parks, but it was on March 1, 1872, that President Ulysses S. Grant approved the establishment of Yellowstone National Park “as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.”

The site of the world-renown Old Faithful Inn sits on the land that was once the Upper Geyser Basin Hotel.  Although at the time it was known as a very charming place to stay, the predecessor of the land would be much grander.

The Upper Geyser Basin Hotel was built in 1885 but burned down in 1894.  Because the park was becoming an increasingly popular tourist attraction, plans to build a new, more impressive hotel was underway just a few years after the destruction of the Upper Geyser Basin Hotel.

The dream did not become a reality until 1904.  It took years to secure the architect and specific design that was needed to fit such an impressive lodge into the splendid scenery and historic sense of the park.

One such architect was named A.W. Spalding, whose plan for the Inn called for a “Queen Ann” style of architecture.  After consideration, it was clear that was not at all the style that park officials envisioned.

Architect Robert Reamer was the forefront choice after his blueprints caught the eye of park president Harry Child and park officials.

It helped that in April 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt, a chief supporter of National Parks, happened to be visiting and was able to study Reamer’s blueprints.

Henry Child was quoted as saying that the president “went into detail with our architect, and was very profuse in his compliments upon our efforts to improve the architecture of the Park buildings.”

Reamer was born in Ohio in 1873.  By age 13, he had dropped out of school, committed himself to study art and architecture, and by 1891 had moved to Chicago to design furniture.  In 1985, he moved to San Diego, CA, and opened an architecture firm with a partner.

Reamer’s architecture designs are not the only ideas that influenced the Inn and all of its parts, but his immense dedication to the buildings and the park itself between 1903 and 1937 was unlike anyone else.

On December 15, 1903, it was reported that 90 men arrived to begin the construction.  Historically it has been said numerous times that Reamer was not simply the architect behind the designs, but was completely obsessed and engrossed in the construction from start to finish.

The Old Faithful Inn opened on June 1, 1904, just in time for visitors to enjoy a summer stay while taking in the park.  The rustic charm, grand statue, and exquisite details undoubtedly made Reamer proud and drew visitors from all over the world.

Over the next forty years, the Inn grew considerably due to it being one of the main attractions in the park.

During those forty years Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Franklin D. Roosevelt all stayed in at the Old Faithful Inn.

Each time a new addition was added, Reamer traveled to Wyoming to supervise.  During these additions, two new wings were created, adding 250 new guestrooms to the Inn.  A noteworthy room at the Inn called the “Bear Pit Lounge” housed those special details that make a trip memorable.

Reamer himself is credited for coming up with wood-carved illustrations depicting comical bear scenes.  In the 1980s, the lounge was made into a coffee shop.  The bear illustrations were replicated onto etched glass and can be seen in other areas of the hotel today.

The Inn has shown its ability to stand the test of time and intrigue National Park lovers.  During World War II in the 1940s, the Yellowstone National Park was closed.

The Old Faithful Inn was not prepared for the visitors who still wished to travel and visit the park.  In 1959, the Hebgan Lake Earthquake struck Montana.

The historic earthquake was measured as a 7.2 magnitude causing a massive landslide in Montana and the deaths of 28 people.  The Inn felt the effects, as it stands approximately 45 miles from Hebgan Lake.

Three fireplaces at the Inn were either damaged or completely demolished because of the earthquake.  The entire structure of the Inn has also shaken off its foundation.  By 1985, all of these damages had been fixed.

As with any structure that has been in existence for more than a century, urban legends and rumors often float around with a mention of its history.  It is rumored that the West Wing addition to the Inn was unknowingly built over a number of unmarked graves.

The most famous ghost story surrounds a legend repeated over the years. In 1983, the assistant manager of the Inn claimed to have had many supernatural experiences at the hotel.

He stated that he did his research and discovered that a murder had taken place at the Inn’s room 127 in 1915.  A couple on their honeymoon were apparently heard furiously arguing after the new husband had spent all their wedding money on gambling.

The next day, workers found the newlywed bride, still in her wedding dress dead in her bathtub, with her husband nowhere to be found.  In 1991, the assistant manager admitted that after his true supernatural experiences, he made up the entire story about the ill-fated bride.

He thought it would be a good way to stir up business.

While an old ghost story is usually a great attraction for some travelers, the Old Faithful Inn certainly doesn’t need legends and eerie stories to stand out.

The majestic architecture and jaw-dropping beauty of the Inn and the surrounding park is plenty of attraction for any lover of nature and rustic charm!

Old Faithful Inn Review

Location – You can’t get a much better location in Yellowstone National Park. You are feet from one of the world’s most famous landmarks. You have the opportunity to stay in the heart of the nation’s first national park. This is something you just can't put a price tag on.

Amenities –Next to the location, this lodge is a National Park Lovers' dream come true! The lodge screams out Parkitecture.

At one point, I noticed my wife sitting in a chair in the lobby, relaxing while I walked around, admiring all the lodge's details. She would giggle at me as I would somehow find a stranger and explain to them how I was now geeking out over the little details, like the wavy glass and the historic preservation treatments and guidelines used to preserve the lodge's original integrity.

I thought the teddy bear bar of soap was a nice touch in your room, adding a personal touch. The room was quite basic by today's standards, with few modern amenities, such as TVs. There was also shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available in the shower, and a coffee maker with coffee and tea in the room. Remember, you are there to experience nature.

The room was loud with people walking by and talking.  Keep in mind, this lodge was built in 1903-04.

I would personally stay at the Old Faithful Inn again –  This is a National Park Lodge I have dreamed of staying at for as long as I can remember.

The lobby and entrance to the Inn are impressive and worth visiting, but you can see this area during the day without paying for a room, especially if you are on a budget.

If you are on a budget but still want to stay within the park, I would suggest checking out the Grant Village lodge as it is a bit more budget-friendly, has epic views of Lake Yellowstone from the dining room, and is close to the Upper Geyser Basin including Old Faithful, the West Thumb Geyser Basin, and Hayden Valley.
