The Cabins at Colter Bay Village are near original. When John D. Rockefeller Jr. purchased this land, in one of the first acts of sustainability he moved the cabins from their original homesteads and built Colter Bay. Each cabin is unique in its design and history, which we and our guests truly enjoy.
The Colter Bay cabins are basic yet comfortable. All cabins include linens, towels, and daily housekeeper services. Cabins do not include coffee makers, microwaves, or mini-fridges. Hairdryers and irons are available upon request at the cabin office.
For the 2019 season we are open May 23 - September 29.
