Old Faithful Snow Lodge

Yellowstone in winter is magical. If you dress warmly (long underwear, snow pants, ski coat, hat, mittens, sometimes face mask, tall warm boots), you can experience the park without almost anyone else there. We walked around the geyser trail near Old Faithful and saw many eruptions, watched a coyote look for food and had the place to ourselves! We were fortunate enough to see the Wapati wolf pack multiple times during our stay which was just extraordinary! Our guides and the whole experience was amazing. A special thank you to our National Park Service to the tremendous job you are doing under suboptimal conditions.If you love nature and don’t mind the cold, DO YELLOWSTONE IN WINTER- JUST AWESOME!

Stayed at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge as part of the winter Couples Adventure package. The lodge is centrally located very near old Faithful so it's easy to run over and catch the eruption. Also easy to access cross country ski and snowshoe trails. Winter seems to be the perfect time to visit as the crowds are non-existent. The lodge is cozy and the rooms are good sized. The dining was a highlight and surpassed my expectations of dining in a national park. Staff is all very friendly. Although there was construction going on in the lobby area, they kept the disruption to a minimum.

I struggle to review this place as I enjoyed the stay but it was despite the hotel. The main positive is the location next to Old Faithful. It was also nice to be able to sit at the various tables around the premises and share a drink and snack outside of the restaurant and bar. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The negatives however were plentiful. When we checked in the credit card system didn't work and we were told that is a common occurrence. We were told nothing about the facility apart from the fact that the restaurant was open and we could just walk up without booking. That was fine except when we walked up there was a two and a half hour wait and next to no options. The rooms had no air conditioning and given the time of year were exceptionally hot. They had no TV but not a big deal. We would have opened the window except for the fact that there was construction going on and a large cherry picker was directly out the front of our room. Knowing that when we booked at the exorbitant pricing they charge in National Parks would have been nice. There was a lot of noise from the room above that carried through the floor into our room

For the rooms: My husband and I stayed in the outdoor cabins (with bathroom) during winter. It was cozy, super romantic, and affordable. Loved our morning walks to the main lodge which is 5min away. Room was warm and had all the amenities we needed including a coffee maker. For the ski shop at the snow lodge: We signed up for a cross country lesson on a whim and had a blast learning with Kern. We enjoyed the lesson so much we decided to ski the next morning as well! We also signed up for a snowshoe tour with Kern guiding! He was excellent, showing us many features of the park off the beaten path and telling us stories about the park!

Uniquely wonderful experience in winter! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the cabins were big, clean, and comfortable, and there were great amenities including good food. We really enjoyed the ice rink outside the lodge with 24/7 access. It has both epic snow adventures right out the front door, or cozy time in the lodge.

We stayed in the private cabins. The privacy was great, although the rooms were not the cleanest. It was convenient to stay near Old Faithful in the park. The Obsidian Dining Room in the inn has good family-friendly food and didn't need reservations. It was near the area for watching Old Faithful and a good starting point to explore the nearby geyser basins.

Great location and place to stay. Restaurant is very good both food and service. Guide and driver for tour was excellent and made the trip very enjoyable. The driver new the park and was very entertaining.

We had a great stay at the Snow Lodge as part of a Couple's Winter Retreat package. We had the park to ourselves, my wife and I watched Old Faithful twice and we were the only ones there. The rooms, the dining, the staff...all top notch.
