Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins is a historic place to stay in Yellowstone National Park’s northwest corner, near the park’s North Entrance and the travertine terraces. Its hotel rooms and cabins put you within walking distance of the hot springs, Fort Yellowstone and the Albright Visitor Center. The Map Room’s piano and period character give the main building a distinctive feel, while elk sometimes graze nearby. Choose a cabin for a little more privacy, and check its bathroom arrangements before booking, as some use shared facilities.
A base in northern Yellowstone
The hotel and cabins sit below Mammoth’s travertine terraces in the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. The terraces, Fort Yellowstone and the Albright Visitor Center are all within walking distance, so you can explore the Mammoth area without getting back in the car.
Mammoth is also a useful starting point for the park’s northern sights, including Lamar Valley. It is less central for the southern part of Yellowstone, where reaching destinations can mean longer drives. The property is close to the North Entrance and the town of Gardiner, Montana.
Rooms, cabins and shared facilities
Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms and suites to cabins. Some cabins have private bathrooms, while others have sinks but use shared washroom facilities. A few cabins have private hot tubs. Check the details of the specific room or cabin before booking, especially if you need a bathroom in your accommodation.
The cabins are a short walk from the hotel building and nearby food and coffee options. The main building has a historic character, including the Map Room, where a piano adds to the setting. On-site winter activities include an outdoor ice-skating rink and ski and snowshoe rentals; check current availability before planning around them.
Wildlife and winter visits
Elk are sometimes seen grazing around the property, including in the early morning. Bison have also been spotted nearby. Keep a respectful distance from wildlife and follow park guidance.
Mammoth is one of Yellowstone’s lodging areas accessible by car when snow is on the ground, making it a practical base for a winter stay. Snow changes the experience of the surrounding terraces and northern park roads, while the hotel’s dining options and seasonal activities provide services close to the rooms and cabins. Accommodation and facilities can differ by season, so confirm the details for your dates.
