This property should really be avoided, especially the tipi site. What they refer to as beds are just wood frames that are back busters. There is no electicity, no tables, and absolutely no access to cooking or eating except at their restaurant. Do NOT stay here.

Several things one needs to be aware of before staying here in a tipi or covered wagon. There are 3 shared bathrooms/shower stalls for all guests in tipi/covered wagons. Water pressure is near zero with no hot water. They do not have linens, you must bring your own or rent theirs for an extra fee. Restaurant on site charges a 20% gratuity fee, even though you stand in line to order and pick up your food yourself. Restaurant is expensive for what it is, but there are no other food options in the area. The bill for 5 of us, each with burger and fries meals and no drinks was $127 total.

WORST experience

There are not enough washroom for guests and they are in BAD condition (1 of the bathroom only have cold water so I had a cold shower) Tents are so close I heard the neighbor SNORING. No place to enjoy a campfire or a picnic table to have a meal

The bath house was not stocked or clean. A lot of the fixtures were broken. The wagon was very cold and the heater provided did not work. It would have been nice to have picnic tables because there was no place to eat on the site that I could tell. For the price, I would not plan a stay there again.

I will say the view was breathtaking and seeing the horses on the ranch awesome but the place was FILTHY. The bathhouse was not cleaned in the 4 days we were there. So dirty!!! Disgusting! The wagon we stayed in had multiple holes in the canvas and holes in the screen windows. The floor was full of dust and trash. Under the mattresses was more trash including used q-tips. The blankets had stains on them and smelled, When we arrived the previous tenants trash and sheets were still there. There was a run off directly in front of our steps that smelled like sewerage. The grounds had trash. It’s too bad because it is in a beautiful area if they just took some time to clean

Rustic accommodations in the teepee was expected but the men’s bathrooms looked like a crime scene the entire 12 hours we were there. Standing water everywhere from bathers and the toilet was either backed up or had exploded feces everywhere so I never used it. Ladies at front desk were nice and dinner in. Restaurant property was decent enough.

This is the worst experience our family has ever had when renting a place to stay. We arrived at our wagon and had to make our own beds. The headboard for one of the bunks was broken and on the floor upon arrival. I got splinters in my shirt as I tried to make the bed. The heater was broken, the zipper to close and secure our wagon (in bear country) was broken, the bathroom floors were covered in water and dirt, and the toilets were clogged. We had to sleep in a cold, open, dirty wagon. It would have been a better choice if we had slept in our car next to an outhouse. The next morning we complained about the bathroom conditions, the heater, and the zipper. They acknowledged they knew the zipper was broken and put us in that wagon anyway. They said they are a working horse ranch and can’t be expected to have perfectly clean bathrooms. They said they would have someone immediately clean the bathrooms, but an hour later they were still in the same unsanitary condition. We forgot to mention the broken headboard, and an hour later we had a $250 charge. When we called about it, they accused us of breaking the headboard and lectured us for not reporting it. They transferred us to the general manager, who said he would refund the $250. He lied and the charge has gone through. I purchased Expedia trip insurance for this stay, which just declined my request for help.

It’s a trick . Horrible place ! Everything is dirty , nasty , dark .. absolutely not acceptable to be a place for a human to sleep . It’s just a tipi dark , no light at all outside !! No electric outlet at all . No Wi-Fi . One shower far from the tent for at least 60 guest to serve ! They gave us a bag with dirty nasty sleeping bags and couple of sheets ! That’s all what you get with your empty tent ! I would take any refugee camp million time over this crazy place . No way to come ever EVER again to this terrible stupid place .

I had read all the reviews before visiting and so have very low expectations. However I was very shocked that we didn't have a door on our teepee. All the talk about no food in teepees as it will attract bears, but yet we had no door. It was also blowing a gale and raining and coming into our teepee. After 3 times complaining to staff, they moved us in another teepee which had 3 doors, so we felt a lot safer. We actually had a fairly good sleep, for the situation. The toilets were dirty and our first teepee had rubbish in it. So I don't think it gets cleaned very well. The food was very expensive and they include the tip in the price which I think is a bit poor. All in all, our stay was just ok. It's a shame as it has so much potential to be a fantastic holiday location, but they just don't seem to care.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Poor Hospitality and Unsafe Conditions We had planned to stay for two nights, but ended up leaving after one miserable night. The wagon we were assigned was dirty, poorly lit, and completely unprepared for guests. At 10:00 PM, staff attempted a quick dusting — hardly a solution when cleanliness should be a basic standard, not a late-night favor. Out of three bathrooms available on site: • Only one was operational. • One had no hot water and a non-working sink. • The third was completely closed. • One shower even had a handwritten note saying: “Use shower to wash your hands.” That says it all. The conditions were worse than camping — my entire family was deeply uncomfortable and disappointed. The next morning, I raised all of this with the manager and asked to be moved to a cabin. I was told I’d have to pay the full price difference. I offered to meet halfway, given the awful first night, but management refused — no apology, no ownership, no basic courtesy. The moment I mentioned the note in the bathroom, they scrambled — clearly aware how damaging it could be to their already below-average reputation. They said they’d “look into it” and would text me back. No text ever came. I called in the afternoon and was again told I’d have to pay the full difference. Still no apology, no regret — just indifference. I hung up and booked a different hotel.

I stayed in the van. Everything looks great in the photos, but when I arrived, everything was different. The beds were unmade, there was a lot of dog hair, and it seems like they never clean the place. The bathrooms were dirty and didn't flush. This place isn't for relaxing; it's too noisy.

Great way to stay in a teepee. 4 no frills twin mattresses on elevated frames. Did not close completely but was ok. Bath house with 2 showers for women. Nice. Driveway was severely rutted to get to teepee area. A working ranch so staff was quite noisey very early in morning. 5-5:30 am! Operating loud equipment right outside of teepees. Multiple times. Loud trucks too. Great location near Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs. Brought my own blow up pad which made bed bearable. Also had my own sleeping bag, pillow and blankets. Otherwise they charge $22. Really no frills but good be fun. Just didn't appreciate the early noise. 45 degrees in the morning so need to be prepared. I was. No heat.

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,

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.
