Problematic
First, the good: great view, great location, relatively inexpensive, cute restaurant with decent food. The bad: rundown, crooked tipi with uncomfortable 70s-era mattresses (our light was a dangling headlamp with low batteries!), hideous bathrooms (we were there for two nights during which nobody cleaned out the mud puddles by the shower or the creepy black hairball in one of the showers, the bathrooms stunk of urine, and a sink, a shower and the ceiling were broken). Dust everywhere which could have been helped by some graveling of the roads. Indifferent staff who seemed to look on guests as a cash cow. Tips: There is a hidden tip in the restaurant bills (read carefully) and you have to pay extra for sheets and bring your own pillow. And if you’re in a tipi, use the bathrooms down the hill by the cabins. They are much better. I rarely write negative reviews but this place put me over the edge. They don’t seem to care.

You do not want to stay here. Checkin took over an hour due to a mistake in the reservation, and rude/condescending staff created a very negative experience for our family. We cut out trip short and left after one night. Bathrooms are very run down and dirty. We did not know about the pet fee ahead of time and did not know ahead of time that cooking was not allowed.

The tepee was mildewy. There was a rain catcher inside the teepee. There were some cots and some bed frames pushed off to the side in the tent in addition to on the ground. We left immediately after going inside the teepee. The place was not well maintained. Do not book this property unless you don't mind at all where you sleep.

Wagon nights
We stayed in the wagon. It was a different experience than your typical hotel room. There was no bathroom in our wagon but one easily accessible to our wagon. Surprisingly it was warmer in the wagon at tonight than what was expected.

Cool idea but everything is old and run down it’s very unfortunate this could be a really cool place if it had some TLC. No cleaning is done at all to the bathrooms or the facilities as a whole unfortunately

Beautiful setting. Shared bathrooms are filthy. Area around wagons are littered with cigarette butts and other trash. Shared bathrooms are filthy. Since this is a horse ranch one can expect mud and dust; but, put a mat outside the bathrooms to wipe off your shoes. Mud and dust does not explain the mold on the bathroom walls. Knowing there is mud everywhere, bathrooms need to be cleaned more often; after camping for 2 days I was looking forward to a shower, I'll have to keep looking!

Do not stay here. We got a teepee for one night thinking it would be fun. First you have to make your own beds. I’m sorry cots. You make your own cot. They give you sheets and a cheap comforter when you check in. No pillows! The cots are very uncomfortable. But what is worse is the facilities! The bathroom is gross. One shower was out of order and the other two were barely functioning. The toilets are stained and stink. The floors are covered in filth. Only one sink worked. In the morning you must strip the bedding and return it to the front desk. The cafe says it opens at 7am, but when I phoned at 7:05am to inquire when they would open they acted like it was an inconvenience to open the doors for the dozen people waiting outside. I wish I could give this place negative stars. Hands down the worst place we have ever stayed.

The location is gorgeous, the teepees were spacious but the dirt floor made all our bags and blankets filthy. The views of the Tetons were spectacular. The bathrooms were terribly run down and not cleaned often enough.

So … this is a DUDE “working” ranch area. We were in a teepee, outside, in the weather, CAMPING … can’t ask for much. It did what was expected. There were shower/toilet buildings close to the teepee, chilled drinking water, a lodge to go into to chill out inside. A small river/creek to walk to and enjoy. A lot of horses! The restaurant was a JOKE. Crazy expensive for microwave servings, and an “up-charge” for everything … no consideration! Skip the convenience and drive a few minutes to Hatchet Resort Restaurant and have an excellent meal where the staff will show a little appreciation for your business. OVERALL, it was an experience. Knowing what we know now, we’d do it again.

We liked the idea of this place but it was not as advertised. We had to rent bedding and because we were un a tent, they would not give us pillows. We sleep in the rental car the first night because of the cold temperatures and the second we took the hit on the cost and got a hotel room.

Great access to Grand Tetons. Great scenery and ranch experience. Realize that if you stay in a wagon or teepee it's obviously not climate controlled. Nor will it or the community bathroom be spotless. It's a good glamping experience and affordable alternative to Jackson.
