About

Hull Cabin stands as the oldest historic structure near Grand Canyon National Park, built by the Hull family in the late 1880s with hand-hewn logs as a one-room homestead. Acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in 1907 for use as a ranger station, the cabin was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Today, it's available through Arizona's Rooms with a View cabin rental program. The cabin sleeps up to six people with two sets of twin bunk beds in the bedroom and a queen-sized futon in the living room. The fully equipped kitchen includes indoor plumbing with hauled water, an oven, stove, refrigerator with freezer, and cooking supplies. A separate shower house with vault toilet and solar shower stalls is located just outside. The cabin sits in a secluded meadow surrounded by old-growth ponderosa pines at 6,500 feet elevation, providing a peaceful retreat with easy access to Grandview Lookout Tower's 360-degree views. Visitors enjoy miles of trails including the Arizona Trail, fishing at Russell Tank and Hull Tank, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities for elk, mule deer, wild turkey, javelina, and endangered California condors. The cabin is located approximately 16 miles east of Tusayan on graded gravel roads, accessible by vehicle year-round when conditions permit. Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim is just one mile away.
