The Lamplighter Lodge

The Lamplighter Lodge is a 12-room motel on North Main Street in Panguitch, Utah, sitting along historic US-89 about 23 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park. The property is under new ownership and is in the process of being updated and remodeled — worth knowing when setting expectations for a stay in the near term.

Rooms and Amenities

Room configurations include one queen, two queens, or one king. Every room comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker, DirecTV, and free Wi-Fi — the basics covered for a practical overnight. Tub/shower combos are standard. The lodge is dog-friendly with a dedicated dog area on the property, which puts it ahead of most budget options in Panguitch for travelers with pets.

Location and Access

Panguitch is a well-positioned base for the southern Utah parks corridor. From the Lamplighter, Bryce Canyon is roughly a 15-minute drive south and east. Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and the north rim of the Grand Canyon are all within a two-hour drive, making Panguitch a logical hub for multi-park itineraries. Main Street has a grocery store, a handful of restaurants, and basic supplies for a day in the field. The lodge offers parking for large vehicles, useful for travelers pulling trailers or driving oversize rigs. Contact: (435) 676-8881.
