Our cabin in Grand Teton

Of course, one of the things we heard from all of our friends when we told them we were going to Yellowstone was

“how did you find a place to stay? I thought you needed reservations a year in advance.?”

When we looked online we couldn’t find anything nearby that looked decent.  However, Michelle read in one of her books that there were frequently last-minute cancellations so we woke up early the day before we left and called the Grand Teton Lodge Company and asked about any last-minute openings.  Sure enough, they had a large cabin available both days in Colter Bay for only $155/night.  That’s less than a simple double room in nearby Jackson, WY Super 8!.

It’s absolutely adorable.

Here’s Madison in front of our cabin.  Michelle and my bed is just under the big window. 

 

The kids have a double bed for the boys and a single for Tiny.

 

We had similar luck with Yellowstone.  They had places available both nights, but in different locations.  The only spot with two nights back-to-back was the Old Faithful Inn, which looks amazing, but at $515/night it was not worth it. So we’re at the Lake Lodge Western Cabins one night and the Canyon Lodge Pioneer Cabins the next.  It should be wonderful.

Oh, and one more thing.  Because our cabin is literally adjacent to the Lounge, we have WiFi in our cabin!  WOOT!
