How it works

You plan the trip. We do the refreshing.

Rooms at these lodges come back when plans change. Catching one means checking at the right moment, again and again, until your book-by date.

2

We watch for openings

We keep checking for rooms that match until the latest date you'd still want to book.

3

We book it for you

When a matching room opens, we reserve it in your name and email you the confirmation.

Pricing

Pay only if we get you in.

Signing up is free. If we book a room for you, you pay the lodge's rate plus a 20% service fee. If nothing opens up, you pay nothing.

Example: 2 nights at $400/night$800
Our 20% service fee$160
Total, only once it's booked$960
  • You set the maximum price per night, so we never book above it.
  • Cancel your request for free any time before we've booked.
  • Once a room is booked, the lodge's own cancellation policy applies to the stay.
Questions

Good to know

Can you guarantee I'll get a room?

No. Nobody can. We can only book rooms that open up, and some dates are tighter than others. Giving us flexible room types, a realistic maximum price and a later book-by date gives you the best odds. If we don't get you in, you don't pay.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. We save your card details securely so we can book the moment a room opens, but nothing is charged unless we get you a reservation. Depending on the lodge, the booking itself may require a one-night deposit or full prepayment, the same as booking it yourself.

What happens when you find a room?

We book it in your name within your price limit and email you the lodge's confirmation. From then on it's a normal reservation with the lodge.

Can I cancel?

You can cancel your request for free any time before we've booked a room. After a room is booked, our service fee isn't refundable, and the lodge's cancellation policy applies to the reservation itself.

Are you part of the National Park Service or the lodges?

No. Reserve a Lodge is an independent service. We're not affiliated with the National Park Service or the companies that run the lodges.

Which lodges do you cover?

The in-park lodges listed above in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier, Grand Canyon (South Rim), Zion, Bryce Canyon and Olympic. Want another one? Email [email protected].
