Perched on a mesa top 15 miles inside the park entrance, this tasteful Pueblo-style lodge has 150 Southwestern-style rooms, some with kiva fireplaces. Don’t miss sunset over the mesa from your private balcony. Standard rooms don’t have air-con (or TV) and summer daytimes can be hot. You can even bring your dog for an extra $10 per night.
