This is glorified camping, but almost worse. Bathrooms were absolutely filthy! When we arrived to our covered wagon, it was obvious that it had not been cleaned out prior to our arrival. There were empty water bottles and other people’s sheets and bath towels left behind. We slept in our own sleeping bags and had to sign a paper that if the heater didn’t work in the wagon, that we would not be refunded. The heater did not work. It was a frigid night and crisp morning, but we got out of there at first light. Come prepared to bring everything you might need and treat it as a camping experience, NOT A HOTEL STAY! Don’t waste your money at the restaurant. Just manage your expectations if you book this place. The staff is extremely friendly, but the accommodations are less than ideal. The horse wrangling was a cool experience.

It really depends on your expectations. If you expect a camping sort of experience, you will enjoy it. The location is gorgeous, but the bathrooms are pretty bad. But there was hot water, and the linens that you rent include blankets and towels. There was a hornet in our wagon, but the staff came quickly to deal with it.

Incredible view of the Tetons right from our covered wagon. Watching the horses coming in in the morning was very cool. Kids loved sleeping in the wagon. Electricity and heat, wifi. The bath house was kind of shoddy. The middle room had no cold water in the sink or shower. The floor tended to be muddy. The cafe is too expensive at $20 for a burger and fries, but there aren't a lot of other places to eat nearby.

This property is unique in that it provides interesting accommodations. The conestoga wagons are a very fun idea and fit with electricity as well as usb charging ports. The property as a whole is very dingy, dirty, and faliing apart. The restrooms are in a trailer and while we expected them to be rustic, they dont also have to be dirty. It doesn't take much to just keep things clean. None of the restrooms even had paper towels the one night we were there. I would recommend staying in the wagon just for the experience, but also could not justify more than one night.

Not bad if you're used to roughing it

We booked to stay in a tipi - we were totally fine roughing it for a single night stay. When we arrived, they upgraded us to a wagon, which was nice, as the tipis weren't ready yet for the season. The staff at check-in was very nice and helpful. Got up to the wagon and there were no blankets or pillows as promised. Went down to the desk and requested at least the pillows (as we brought our sleeping bags) and was told housekeeping would bring it up. Unfortunately the pillow never arrived. The worst part of the stay was the bathroom facilities. Only 1 of their bath houses was open yet for the season and with quite a few guests, only 3-4 bathroom stalls is not enough. Plus one was malfunctioning and ended up overflowing. They didn't seem to be well cared for or cleaned very often. The mattresses in the wagon were comfortable. The wagons are very close together and so are the tipis so you will definitely here your neighbors snoring. Would still probably stay again since we're good with roughing it, but the price is high for it being this rough.

**Terrible Experience – Avoid Buffalo Valley Ranch** I had a horrible experience with Buffalo Valley Ranch and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I booked a two-night stay through Expedia and arrived expecting a smooth check-in, only to be told they had no record of my reservation. To make matters worse, they had no vacancies and turned me away. After wasting time trying to fix THEIR mistake, I had to find another hotel at the last minute. Later, I discovered my credit card had been charged for the stay. When I called for a refund, they miraculously “found” my reservation but claimed I was a “no-show,” making it non-refundable! I understand policies for cancellations or no-shows, but I SHOWED — THEY failed to honor the booking. I contacted Expedia, but they could only confirm what the property said: non-refundable, and I had to deal directly with Buffalo Valley Ranch. Adding insult to injury, I checked their Better Business Bureau rating and found an F! Clearly, I wasn’t the first customer they’ve wronged. I’ve called multiple times, and each time I’m told management will respond, yet weeks have passed with no word. It’s clear this place doesn’t care about its customers or reputation. Save yourself the stress and money—avoid Buffalo Valley Ranch at all costs!

We booked this trip after reading tons of reviews and well aware of what to expect. Two adults and 3 young kids, booked a wagon. Kids loved the wagon and ranch atmosphere. The horseback ride was a nice experience as well. My 2-star rating is not due to the wagon but rather the very poor experience with ranch staff... Our wagon's front door only closed partially which caused it to get VERY cold at night. We notified the front desk staff several times and were promised they would address it but nothing was ever done. A temporary covering or seal would have helped a lot. Furthermore, we got yelled by a ranch manager for using a small gas stove outside to boil water for coffee and oatmeal. This older guy (who was also directing staff) got out of Land Cruiser in plain clothes, didn't introduce himself but yelled at our whole group, saying there was a burn ban we should have known about. Nothing was ever said about that when we checked in or was posted anywhere. The guy was super rude. The whole thing could have been communicated better and dealt with a lot more professionally. We'd likely stay here again given the convenient location (few other options this close to the park) but next time I'll go in with even lower expectations service-wise.

Best view ever, both sunset and the Milky Way. Totally unique “room” in the wagon. But being a tent, we could really feel that below-freezing night even with heat.

I then was charged extra for whatever they say i guess. I booked teepees and they were not available.
