Located within the Kaibab National Forest just 45 minutes from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Jacob Lake Inn has offered a tranquil escape to locals and travelers alike since 1923.
The inn offers hotel and motel rooms as well as cozy log cabins, so there's an accommodation for everyone. You've never seen mountain or woodland views quite like those afforded by the lodging options here.
