Old Faithful Inn
“A national historic landmark, Old Faithful Inn is the most requested lodging facility in the park. Designed by Robert Reamer and built in 1903-1904 with local logs and stone, the inn is considered the largest log structure in the world. The towering lobby features a massive stone fireplace and a hand-crafted clock made of copper, wood and wrought iron serving as focal points.”
