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.

It was in interesting experience. I had never slept in a teepee before. However, it wasn't much different from sleeping in a tent. Be sure to bring your sleeping bags and pillows. The scenery is beautiful!

The staff was very helpful ! There was an issue with our original booking and they made it right with an actual upgrade ( we had to pay more ) but they gave us a great discount .The place could be so much more .We enjoyed the Western theme but wish it could’ve been more modern ie:the WiFi was impossible we always had to go closer to the office to get it which made it hard to plan your day the night before .

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.

A great Ranch experience

It was a ranch and the kids loved it! Horses goats dogs. The staff was great with my grandkids. If you’re looking for a luxury resort this isn’t the place for you but for us it was probably the highlight of our 2 week trip through Yellowstone the Tetons and Rapid City. We would definitely return

It was a fun unique experience! The bunk beds were perfect for my kids. We loved seeing the horses on the ranch, and the view of the Tetons was gorgeous! Things I didn’t like was the mattress and pillow were very thin and our sheets had a bunch of sand in them. I did appreciate that they provided a space heater.

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.

The beds are comfy for kids, punishing for adults. Bring a sleeping bag and air mattress for over the bed and you should be okay. The teepees are there to corral more customers for the trail and pony rides. If the kids do one of these, they will want to come again every year. Also, don’t expect cleanliness. And, do expect mediocre food at the restaurant for about $30 pp. And, the view of the Tetons from the teepees is breathtaking.

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.

Enjoyed our very basic stay in the tipi

A very basic tipi, and as advertised. 4 beds with thin mattresses, but as we were just 2 people, we simply doubled up the mattresses and slept fine. We were given bed sheets, towels and thin red blankets (see pictures), but used our own thick blue sleeping bags and pillows as those were not provided. The tipi was older, had some tears and spots, and although the "door"flap didn't close during a severe rainfall and the few drops landing on our faces, it was fun being there. The bathroom facility was cleaner than expected, with toilet paper, lockers, benches, 2 showers (the 3rd was out of order) and two sinks, however no plug ins anywhere to be found. Beautiful views of the valley, the restaurant was very nicely decorated and the food very good and quick to the table. There were activities for horseback riding and river floating available. Friendly staff and all, including guests, seemed to enjoy themselves. We had a great back-to-basic stay!
