For families who want to stay in the park, Longmire’s National Park Inn is open year-round, available for visitors to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors or come during winter for cross-country skiing and snow play. The National Park Inn offers 25 rooms with queen, double, or twin beds, hand sink, and private bath or shared bath facilities down the hall. Families will want to book a two-room configuration, which shares a private bathroom, but even the two-room option can only accommodate up to four people (if your family is larger, head to Paradise Inn). Cribs are available for babies. Keep in mind, rooms are small and somewhat rustic because it’s a historic inn and doesn’t offer typical modern hotel amenities. That also means no television or Wi-Fi as you’re off the grid here.

The lodge’s casual dining room serves a daily breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner and includes a kids’ menu for 10 and under. Hang out in the spacious historic lobby with a large stone fireplace and afternoon tea service or mingle on the large front porch with rocking chairs, roam the historic buildings around you, and walk the nearby easy hiking trails.
