About this property

Welcome to Jacob Lake Inn

Situated at the intersection of AZ-67 and US-89A in Fredonia, Arizona, this wooded property offers a variety of accommodations including hotel rooms, motel rooms, and cabins. The rustic setting within the Kaibab National Forest provides a quiet base about 30 miles from the Grand Canyon National Park, making it suitable for visitors seeking convenient access to local natural attractions such as the Condor Viewing Site and multiple scenic overlooks.

The site blends multiple functionalities beyond lodging, featuring an American restaurant, bakery, and gift shop with Native American goods. Guests often praise the bakery’s selection of cookies and desserts, with reviews highlighting the friendly service and reasonably priced menu items. The property also includes practical amenities like free parking, air conditioning, and pet- and kid-friendly options, though it does not offer a pool, fitness center, or airport shuttle.

Customer feedback generally appreciates the welcoming atmosphere and the combination of convenient services available on-site. The inn has been family-owned since 1923, lending a sense of tradition and familiarity to the experience. However, some visitors note the basic nature of the accommodations and the remote location, which may not suit everyone. The nearby Chevron gas station is adjacent but occasionally criticized, so travelers might prefer alternative fueling stops.

Overall, Jacob Lake Inn suits travelers looking for straightforward accommodations with access to local dining and shopping in a forested setting. It is particularly well-suited for families and road-trippers passing through the region, offering an inviting rest stop with a mix of charm and practical amenities.

My stop at this Inn was excellent. While I never stayed here, I did go in and purchase some snacks & used the clean restroom. There was a cozy fire going and the attendant was kind. They turned a cold experience into a warm & inviting one. I recommend you stop here on your way to Utah as there is nothing else for many miles.

This inn is located right off U.S. Highway 89A, in a beautiful pine forest area. We were passing through enroute to St. George and did not stay at the inn, so this review will not address the hotel side of the business. There is a large parking lot out in front of the inn with a Chevron gas station adjacent to the inn, which we recommend avoiding if possible. Inside the front door is the lobby area for the inn, a gift shop, a u-shape sit down counter restaurant, and a convenience store with some great locally made cookies. Towards the back, there was a large dining area, but it was not open at the time of our visit. There is end a small history type display about the family, which owns the business and the history of the area. The staff were friendly and helpful, and it was a pleasure to do a little business here.

Our room was very nice with private room for each bed. It was very comfortable. The main office sports a really good amount of native pottery and souvenirs for sale, a cookie counter, and counter service for a very yummy restaurant. We were greeted warmly and helped. The price on the food was very reasonable for the excellent quality of food. The dishes were definitely created by a chef with curated menu.

We pass by the inn a couple of times a year and always have to stop by for the amazing cookies! The employees are always very friendly, too, and the surrounding forest is gorgeous. Highly recommend trying the chocolate parfait cookies.

This is a bit off the beaten path, but after a day of driving or sightseeing in the area, it’s a welcome oasis. The accommodations and restaurant are basic (we are at the counter) but our server, Pita, was so great - fast and friendly. The club sandwich and fries were solid and the blueberry pie was sugary and sweet. Lots of other ice cream and cookie options! Gift shop was nice, but a bit pricey. VictorB

We LOVE staying at Jacob Lake! Breakfast is amazing and service was even better! The room is cozy and the staff was on top whatever we needed. Felt like apart their family (family-owned) and will always come back when we’re in the area and need a place to stay.

Don’t let the “2-star” scare you, this place is wonderful. Clean and convenient. For the rooms you have the choice of a cabin (DOG FRIENDLY), motel and hotel. There is internet, bathrooms, showers, electricity, and heat at all options. All are on the same property as the store. The Jacob’s Inn Store is your check in, diner (breakfast, lunch and dinner), bakery, dessert stop and a small convenient store. This place is worth the price of the stay! We had a wonderful time and will be back next year.

Jacob Lake Inn — cookies are the name of the game! If you don’t grab some, you’re just crazy. They’ve got a huge selection: gingersnaps, classic chocolate chip, German chocolate cake-style, snickerdoodles, peanut butter — you name it. They sell them by the 1, 6, or 12 pack. Naturally, I walked out with a 12-pack! The place also has clean bathrooms, a traditional convenience store, and a little diner where you can grab a meal. But let’s be real — it’s all about the cookies.
