I read the other reviews of this ranch and I honestly disagree with the bad reviews. It's a working RANCH! What do people expect? I loved the covered wagon and the bed was very comfortable. It was so cool to hear the horses nicker and neigh. There were real working cowboys and they were so nice! The breakfast was delicious and prices were comprable to eating out in other vacation areas. The coffee was soooo good! And Tom, the cat, was a pleasant guest with us. The views were spectacular! I will defi itely be back!

We stayed in a wagon. One step up from camping. Teepees were totally rough camping. Would recommend the wagons instead if you want to camp.

Such a unique stay, we were upgraded from the teepee to the covered wagon for electricity, it also had a heater but we didn’t need - it got chilly but the blankets were warm enough. Had a good dinner with drinks at the onsite restaurant, very convenient! We were up and going too early to grab coffee.

It might not be for everyone, but I truly loved it. I stayed in a covered wagon, and early in the morning I heard the workers feeding the horses — it brought back memories of childhood, waking up to the quiet voices of my mother and grandmother talking over coffee at the kitchen table. That peaceful, simple start to the day felt so familiar and comforting. The bathroom wasn’t exactly close by, which might be a dealbreaker for some, but for me, the whole experience was totally worth it.

The property is a horse ranch, so its dusty and noisy, which we had anticipated. The restaurant on site is very basic, not great and expensive.

The tipi is what you pay for. Rental rent on gravel. “Cots” were broken and in pieces. Get a camp site.

I would like the option of having an outlet in the Teepee's. I use a CPAP/sleep machine and there wasn't power available. Other than that, it was a great experience. We will definitely be back! Want to try a Conestoga Wagon Next time.

The bathhouse was a mess, with the men's and women's in the same budling and no locking door between them. It did not feel safe for the women. The guest Tipi's had been taken down for the winter and were thrown about in the bathhouse. The restaurant was full of flies, a cat and a dog. The cows outside gave a western nuance, however they were able to access the area the conestoga wagons were located. They spread feces on the walking path and rubbed up against the wagon we were sleeping in around 2:00 am. The view of the mountains was amazing but the facility itself needs some serious attention.

We stayed in the covered wagons which was a very unique experience. The location is beautiful and watching the ranch hands bring the horses to and from their evening pasture was a great experience. However, be ready to bring your own bedding or pay extra to rent bedding. The shower/bathroom amenities could do with some improvements. Either eat before you arrive or be prepared to pay a 20% gratitude for everything ordered at the cafe, even though you are ordering from counter and not at your table. There is nothing notifying you of this charge until you get your bill.

it is what it is. If you come expecting a 5-star hotel, it is not. A bit expensive for what they include, but we enjoyed our stay despite the noise late and early. You cannot blame the ranch for people being noisy at 4am!! they do ask for quiet time. The beds have seen better days, but the linens were perfectly clean. You have to make your own bed though! It was funny a lady knocking in our wagon for housekeeping... well, maybe they wanted us out faster than we wanted to. The bathrooms could use a serious upgrade, but they were fairly clean. Again, one cannot control what other guests do in a shared space.

This was crazy overpriced and very misleading. The "beds" were essentially camping pads, the bathrooms were DISGUSTING and the wagon was absolutely filthy with tons of bugs inside when we arrived. The cafe onsight was astronomically expensive as were the offered activities. The wagon was a fun idea, but it was not worth the price or the filth.

Works in a pinch

It’s a dude ranch. No frills amenities that is a more costly style of camping. Canvas and zippers on covered wagon in a state of disrepair which made it more difficult to enter/exit. Bathrooms not as dirty as other reviews suggested…they are sufficient camp bathrooms with showers. Beautiful views and close to Grand Teton National Park. Other reviews about the restaurant are spot on. Staffing issues delayed restaurant opening on the morning we departed and couldn’t even get a cup of coffee because there wasn’t a way to ring it up. Three complimentary coffees wouldn’t have broke their bank but oh well.

The tipi's were listed as being on wooden floors, but they were set up on pea gravel. There was only one toilet in the men's bathroom to share with at least 20+ tipis and covered wagons (all of them). There was no paper towel in both the men's and women's bathroom's for over 24 hours. Toilet paper in the men's was almost out until I finally mentioned it to the staff. The resort is an authentic dude ranch, they offer plenty of activities you can pay for, and it is very close to Grand Teton NP. If you plan to stay budget minded and sleep in a Tipi or wagon, it is sufficient, but be warned that you get what you pay for. It's the cheapest lodging in the area for a reason,
