Flaming Gorge Cabins

21 cabins on a private lake, in the pines since 1930

Red Canyon Lodge has 21 cabins tucked into the ponderosa pines on the rim of Flaming Gorge, two miles from the Red Canyon Visitor Center and fourteen from the dam. Families have been coming back to this spot since 1930.

Every cabin has a covered front porch with seating, a picnic table and an outdoor fire pit with a flip-down grill, and we deliver complimentary firewood daily. Lodge guests fish our private stocked lake free of charge, and no Utah fishing license is required to do it. Three cabin styles sleep anything from a couple on a quiet getaway to a group of ten.

cabin life forever

Twenty-one cabins on the rim of Flaming Gorge, inside Ashley National Forest, around a private stocked lake. A restaurant a short walk away, horses in the corral, boats on the dock and elk on the front lawn most evenings. This is what people mean when they say cabin life.

Ponderosa Cabins

Our premier Flaming Gorge cabins. Each Ponderosa is a duplex of two mirror-image units that can be booked separately or opened through a lockout door to sleep as many as ten. Kitchenette with a mini fridge, sink, two-burner stovetop, microwave, coffee maker and dish service for four. Several have a wood-burning stove. See the Ponderosas

Uinta Family Cabins

Amish-built and our newest Flaming Gorge lodging. One bedroom with a queen bed, a large living area with bunk beds and a sofa, and a proper full kitchen: oven with range, full refrigerator, sink, microwave, coffee maker and dish service for eight. The loft is the part kids argue over. See the Uintas

Alpine Cabins

Standalone cabins with either two queen beds or a king with a sofa bed, all newly renovated with new bathrooms, bedding, mattresses and furnishings. A microwave and mini fridge rather than a kitchen, so bring plates if you plan to cook. The King Suites are our pick for couples. See the Alpines

Three Cabin Styles

What comes with every cabin

Fresh linens and towels, a covered porch, a picnic table, an outdoor fire pit with a flip-down grill and complimentary daily firewood. Free reliable internet in the lodge and restaurant; a personal Starlink setup can be arranged for your cabin for a fee, first come first served.

Right outside your door

East Green’s Lake is stocked with rainbow, tiger and brook trout, catch and release with artificial flies and lures. Canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, row boats and pedal boats rent at the dock, mountain bikes at the lodge, and the Canyon Rim Trail starts nearby. Things to do
