Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone National Park was completed in September 1920. The original building included a dining room, a lobby and registration area and a long wide porch which even to this day holds Old Hickory rocking chairs for the enjoyment of the guests. It is a great place to reminisce about your day's adventures in Yellowstone.
Even though the Lodge is named for him, Theodore Roosevelt never actually visited the Lodge which was built in 17 years after his visit.
The Lodge now includes a corral where they keep the horses for the trail rides that go into the park. It is also the staging area for the old West cookout. You can book your horseback rides and secure your spot for the Old West Cookout during your stay at the lodge. Be sure to check early as spots fill quickly during the season.
Roosevelt Lodge has the shortest season of any of the parks nine lodges. There are 14 Frontier Cabins and 66 Roughrider Cabins. The Frontier Cabins have two double beds, bathroom and shower, toilet and sink. The Roughrider Cabins are more simply furnished and have a bed and a wood burning stove for heat with shared public bathrooms within an easy walk from these cabins.
There are no televisions, telephones, radios, Internet hookups or cell phone coverage at the Lodge.
The Lodge is located near the site of what was Yancey's Pleasant Valley Ranch which was constructed in 1882. After I do some more research I will give you more information on Yancey's Pleasant Valley Ranch.
