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.
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.

Are you ready to take the plunge and go full off-grid in the Arizona backcountry? How about a large tent with basic necessities including an outdoor bathroom with a fireplace and hammock PLUS prime stargazing? This chic glamping tent is in between the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff, so it's a great home base.
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.

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!

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.

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.

What a fun unique Airbnb! This skoolie (aka a school bus) has wood floors and pine decor. It's located on a farm so you can visit the resident donkey, llama, alpaca, and cows.
Enjoy your morning shower under the bright desert sun or happy hours with some s'mores around a fire pit with a million stars in the sky above you. Plus, tons of colorful sunrises and sunsets will be a daily staple!

How CUTE is the inside of this yurt?! We love all the boho touches to bring it to life. There's a fridge and cooking area so you can make morning coffee while watching the sunrise, or cook up a feast after hiking through the Grand Cayon. Best part? It has some skylight windows for stargazing at night!

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.

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.

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!
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.
