13 Coolest Grand Canyon Airbnbs: Cabins, Stargazing Huts, Glamping & More!

Luxury glamping tents, cozy cabins, stargazing huts… there are some pretty dang magical and cool Airbnbs near Grand Canyon National Park.

When visiting one of the most magical national parks in the United States, you deserve an epic place to come back to each night. A place where you can kick back with chic desert decor, or fireside with local craft beers. And the only way to get that is at one of these insanely cool Airbnbs.

I love the Arizona desert landscape
I judge a cool Airbnb based on location, decor, past guest reviews, the price for value, amenities and overall vibes. If the Airbnb grand canyon listing is worth the trip alone, then I want to stay there.

If you aren’t familiar with the Grand Canyon National Park, there are two entrances. The North Rim (aka Grand Canyon North) and the South Rim (aka Grand Canyon South). The North Rim entrance is at least 2.5 hours from the nearest city so that’s why the South Rim is the most popular entrance and the one you’ll probably be visiting. Grand Canyon Village has a lot of shops, grocery stores and basic motels.

But you can do better than a boring motel. I found some insanely cool Airbnbs nearby for the ultimate Grand Canyon vacation. Keep reading for the list.

There’s just something about an A-frame like this where you can disconnect from the world and get cozy in front of a wood-burning stove after a day exploring to park.

This tiny house has desert ambiance, a kitchenette, and outdoor shower. When it comes to Grand Canyon vacation homes, the location of this one can’t be beaten (South Rim is just about 30 minutes away!) Plus, it's pet-friendly.

Cute Log Cabin w/ Hot Tub

A log cabin surrounded by trees on an acre of remote land. Sounds like a dream, right? Watch the sunset or gaze at the millions of stars from a private hot tub on the deck. You’ll even be able to enjoy a fire pit where you can toast marshmallows around a roaring campfire.

To sweeten the deal, you’ll find an awesome, floor-to-ceiling fireplace where you can get cozy before bed. This Arizona Airbnb truly is like a backyard paradise! When it comes to Grand Canyon cabins, it really doesn't get much better than this.

While this cabin is remote enough for an awesome experience, it's about a 35-minute drive away from South Grand Canyon, and only 15 minutes away from iconic Route 66.

Price: $670 per night

This is the ultimate Grand Canyon glamping Airbnb. That's what you get when you stay in this luxury skydome. In addition, you’ll be treated to a handmade log bed, fireplace, and modern bathroom with lush amenities.

Did we mention the stars? As night falls, you’ll be able to peer at them through the on-site telescopes or the magnificent skylight that's right above your bed. We bet you can't do that back home! If you like hiking, museums, golfing, and outdoor adventure, this is the place to be!

Thundercliffe Ranch Cabin

Location: Flagstaff, Arizona
Price: $164 per night
Guests: Up to 4

It might be centrally located and 20 minutes away from downtown Flagstaff, but that doesn't mean you won't get the ultimate secluded Arizona experience. Trust us when you hear the sound of a coyote howling in the distance or spot an elk nearby, you'll know that the crowds of the city are a world away.

There's no shortage of firewood for the cozy fireplace or the fire pit under the stars at this Grand Canyon Bungalow. And if you’re seeking more wilderness in the area, you needn’t worry, because the Grand Canyon and Kendrick Mountain Village are only a short drive away.

Modern Tiny Trailer W/ Deck

Location: Williams, Arizona
Price: $152 per night
Guests: Up to two guests

Private, cozy, and surrounded by nature while located only 30 minutes from the Grand Canyon sounds like a dream. And there’s nothing better than going off the grid in a classic camper with all the basic comforts and candlelit dinners on an outdoor deck under a starlit sky.

Of course, no backcountry experience is complete without a roaring fire in the on-site fire pit late into the night as the milky way twinkles above your head. Secluded, comfortable and disconnected. Our kind of Arizona Airbnb.

Boho Lotus Bell Yurt

How CUTE is the inside of this yurt?! We love all the boho touches to bring it to life.

It has some skylight windows for stargazing at night!

Desert Airstream Near Grand Canyon

Location: Williams, Arizona
Price: $126 per night
Guests: Up to three guests

Hello tiny house airstream! Inside you'll find pops of blue, modern amenities, and a comfortable queen bed. It's remote and in nature - awake early in the morning, having breakfast with a herd of elk or a yard full of bunnies just comes with the territory. Remote as it is, Williams and its many services are nearby. Of course, if it's the Grand Canyon you came for, that's nearby too.

Bubble Tent In Desert

Location: Williams, Arizona
Price: $119 per night
Guests: Up to 2

There truly aren’t many things that are more amazing than seeing the stars through a translucent ceiling above your bed, and that’s exactly what you’ll experience at this Airbnb. And if you fancy a deep-tissue massage, you’ll be delighted to hear that the property comes with a masseuse. In addition, if you’re hoping to pay a visit to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, you’ll only have to drive 25 minutes.

Desert Dome W/ Spa Treatments

Location: Williams, Arizona
Price: $198 per night
Guests: Up to 5

You'll sleep soundly in your comfy bed but not before gazing at the night sky filled with twinkling stars through the skylight. In the morning, enjoy your breakfast with the views of the mountains through the large front window.

Into the evening, sit around the fire pit with only the sounds of a crackling fire and the distant howl of a coyote off in the distance. The semi-secluded location offers easy access to many attractions including the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Oh, and there's spa treatments available, too!

 Now’s the hard part: which one will you book? I’m always partial to glamping – I’m constantly hunting down the best glamping in California where I live. But some of those cozy desert cabins look really fun too, especially for winter visits to the canyon. 

I visited the Grand Canyon for the first time during the winter. January to be exact. It was cool in the day but cold AF at night. It also rains a lot and while we were treated to an epic cotton candy sunset over the South Rim that first night, it was raining so hard the next day we couldn’t see 5 feet into the canyon! If you can plan for a spring or fall visit, you’ll probably miss the rain and miss the summer heat.

Tell me your favorite grand canyon Airbnb below! If your favorite listing didn’t make the cut, drop a link in the comments so everyone can see. Got questions? Comment or DM me on Instagram @thewhimsysoul and I’ll be happy to help.
