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!

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.

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!

We were pleasantly surprised as we did not do our due diligence and call the ranger prior to that Memorial weekend stay (after Covid Times). The cabin (once we finally got to it via route 64 East’s Grandview Pass Overlook) was clean comfortable, cozy and most importantly rustic! We left it the way we arrived / received it after our 2-day stay. We were glad we bought our pillows as there were non at the cabin (our fault).

The electricity was a welcome happenstance. We had a clean fridge and well stocked 🪵 logs in the back for the evening. We had read about the accommodations prior to our arrival but were not sure what to expect. We bought matches and extra logs and learned from Tusayan folks how best to approach the cabin via our rental convertible coupe without risking sleeping in the car! It would have been nice to have brought our own bedsheets as we arrived after nightfall, and made it all the way past the 1.5 mi gravel road (after opening the Hull Cabin secluded gates meant to keep the cows away).

We enjoyed the comfy fleece blanket we bought the following day from downtown Tusayan as it came handy. My girlfriend took charge of the logs and keeping the fire simmering in the rustic stove as it was just the two of us.

The following day, it was time for the Ice frigēre bucket challenge in the WC quarters next door after the Bright Angel Trail was over and done with. That was a highlight. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The place was apparently clean considering it was closed prior in the season due to the pandemic. No sign of Mice lie, monkeys exaggerate … type of shennadegins.

Following five days of backpacking in the Grand Canyon, Hull Cabin was a wonderful place to relax and was a great base for other activities around the South Rim. It was secluded and quiet, but close enough to get back and forth quickly. The cabin updates (electric lighting, new refrigerator, stove) were a welcome surprise. It was rustic, but very clean and comfortable. The wood burning stove kept us warm on a chilly night. We read a story about the Haunted Hull Cabin, but encountered no ghosts...or mice. The water tanks (ponds) were dry in mid-May, so we didn't see as much wildlife as we hoped, but there was a lot of wildlife sign around. Cattle on the National Forest roads were a constant source of entertainment and caused a few driving delays.
