written by local expert Liza Sharifuddin

Liza got the travel bug at age 2, when her parents took her on her first trip to London. Since then, she hasn't stopped traveling. In her free time, you can find her in dance class, climbing a wall, or seeking out the best dessert spots in town.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most majestic places to visit in the world, and choosing an Airbnb near Grand Canyon can further add to your awesome experience. 

As you might imagine, there aren’t very many accommodations right at the Grand Canyon itself but if you venture further afield, there are loads of great Airbnbs, VRBOs and vacation rentals. Glamping tents, modern homes, log cabins, and even tiny homes… the variety of places to stay near the Grand Canyon will surprise you. 

Check out these 15 vacation homes near the Grand Canyon – you’re sure to find one that fits your needs!

Editor’s Note: Please note that Airbnb recently made changes to their program so in this article, we are including links to other options like VRBO or Booking.com which have much lower booking fees.

Type: Entire Home (Tent with Bed)

Location: 25-30 minutes from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park entrance

Superhost: No

Price: $

For a unique stay at the Grand Canyon, check out this Airbnb that offers an “off-grid, alternative outdoor experience”… AKA glamping. 

Situated within a ranch community, this nomad’s pad is suitable for travelers who aren’t afraid to rough it out a little bit. There’s no flushing toilet; only a porta-potty. And there’s an outdoor shower that is shared but has unlimited hot water. 

Bathroom facilities aside, your actual tent site is actually pretty well-furnished and comfortable. One tent houses your bedroom which has an actual bed in it, so you’ll definitely be sleeping well. The other tent is your living area, with colorful rugs and cushions to brighten up the space. 

This quiet, remote spot means that you’ll have no problems enjoying the starry nights – definitely the highlight of a stay here! This is the spot to be for those who want a bit of adventure. 

Why We Love It: Cool glamping experience for outdoor lovers.

What Past Guests Have Said: “Really awesome and unique experience making for an unforgettable trip. Epic views of the stars and very close to the park.”

“The tent was more lovely in person. I will definitely return.” 

“Amazing experience! 10/10 recommend for any Grand Canyon trip! Very close to the park & amazing view of the stars at night!”

Location: 5 minutes off Highway 64 & 20 minutes from the Grand Canyon National Park

Superhost: No

Price: $

Here’s another unique stay near the Grand Canyon. This spacious camper is located about 20 minutes from the Grand Canyon National Park and it has enough room for four guests. 

The word “camper” may bring to mind tight spaces and cramped nights… but this RV will change your mind. Even with four people in there, there’s loads of space!

The main space combines the couch, booth table for dining, and a decent-sized kitchen where you can comfortably prepare your own meals. Tucked away in the corner are bunk beds, with the master bedroom situated on the opposite side of the camper. There’s also a bathroom with a standing shower. 

While the space is nothing fancy, it’s a good alternative to standing at a lodge or inn. At night, be sure to step outside for some stargazing – since the location is so isolated, it’ll be easy to spot all the stars! 

Why We Love It: Spacious camper with all the comforts of home.

What Past Guests Have Said: “Quiet and secluded location within a very close proximity to the Grand Canyon without the touristy feel of that areas immediate surroundings. Very quick and consistent with updates for everything regarding needs for the trip. Highly recommend for a trip to the Grand Canyon”

“This place was fantastic, check in was smooth and easy. John was great, he responded fast and even gave us a few local places we should try! The location was perfect, right in the center of everything! It was super clean and felt so welcoming! Loved everything, definitely worth it and will be coming back!!!”
