About Hull Cabin

Located just steps away from the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park, Hull Cabin is the oldest historic structure in the area. It provides a variety of amenities, as well as access to multiple recreational activities within the Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest. Visitors enjoy miles of trails, fishing at the nearby tanks, sightseeing and viewing the region's abundant wildlife. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle. A portion of the roadway is graded gravel, requiring slower speeds. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Wonderful location--remote and quiet but yet easy drive to rim road. We have been to the South Rim many times but this was the first time to explore the East end. The Grandview vista and Watchtower with many pullover views in between were amazing with the Colorado River exposed. We loved going back to the Hull Cabin porch to relax for happy hour!! Stars were amazing at night! Take solar bag for warm water for showers, the bath house is nice but we took a small portable potty so I didn't have to go outside during the night to toilet at bathhouse. We hiked the AZ trail which is nearby, lots of history in this cabin, really nice the Forest Service rents it out!

Our early June visit was delightful. Some favorite memories: Broad-tailed hummingbirds buzzing upwards into the sky and checking out my pink t-shirt; very dark night sky enabling us to see layers of stars and the Milky Way; the privacy of the area; huge, forked Ponderosa pines towering nearby; historic cabin; solar lights; well-stocked kitchen with pots, pans. We brought a tiny plug-in coffee maker but did not risk plugging it into the only socket we could find which was behind the refrigerator. We used the old-fashioned percolator on the propane stove which worked fine. Took one hike to Grandview Lookout Tower, uphill most of the way there, distant views of the Grand Canyon from the top of the tower. Well worth the effort although I think next time we would drive to the tower. Hope to come back to Hull Cabin.

Fabulous cabin! The road was pitted, but accessible (with some scrapes) to our Prius and the cabin was clean and had tons of nice amenities!
