Goulding's Lodge

If you’re staying in Monument Valley, this is the place to stay! Incredibly friendly and welcoming service from check in/out, the restaurant, gift shop. It’s minutes from a grocery store and gas station and a few minutes drive to Monument Valley. Rooms were clean and spacious with beautiful views. A great patio to sit out on too! So happy with everything about our stay at Goulding’s Lodge.

The cottage we stayed in was most comfortable. Cottage was clean and neat upon arrival, with plenty of towels, utensils, etc. We used virtually all amenities: restaurant, laundry, grocery store and gas station. Food was well prepared and tasty. Service generally good and servers were most polite. Enjoyed the museums. The deluxe trip through Monument Valley was quite an experience: our guide/driver most helpful and answered many questions in a knowledgeable and pleasant fashion. Roads through the valley fair to quite poor; rough and bumpy ride. Bring water and sunscreen.

Beautiful historic location with restaurant, gas station and large grocery store.. Beautiful views depend on where you are though, we were in a cabin park with a kitchen and a separate bedroom about 500 meters away from the lodge which was nice but was not as clean as it should be..There is no view except for the cabins in the front row ofcourse. The restaurant is reasonable but unfriendly unfortunately.. Staff by the reception was welcoming! Also the museum which is about the lodge itself is very interesting! Overall great stay and I would still recommend it to anyone!

Exquisite, unbelievable, truly an amazing place to stay. We spent one night at Goulding’s Lodge and absolutely loved it. The room was very comfortable and cozy, perfect after a long day of exploring. The location is exceptional — just about 15 minutes from the Monument Valley Scenic Drive, making it super convenient. What made it even more special was the stargazing at night. The sky was so clear and full of stars, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The whole property has an authentic local feel, surrounded by incredible red rock formations and Navajo history. The staff were kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. If you’re visiting Monument Valley, staying here completes the experience. Highly recommend!

Goulding’s began as a trading post in the 1920s and now blends lodge, museum, cabins, RV & campground facilities. Prime location for Monument Valley access: It’s right on Navajo land near the Arizona–Utah border, giving guests close proximity to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Views are a major draw: Waking up to sweeping valley vistas and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Good amenities for the remote setting. Pricing can feel steep, but that's your only option really. The lodge offers a small indoor pool (open year-round), a restaurant on-site (Stagecoach Dining Room), and tour services using Navajo guides (that was really awesome) . The rooms at the lodge where we stayed, are 2 room cabins with a kitchenette. It was a very pleasant experience Decent value given limited options in the area Because lodging options near Monument Valley are scarce, many guests feel the lodge is a compelling choice, despite its limitations.
