Perfect for Family Vacation

WOW! This place is beautiful. Our family of 20 had a great time. Plenty (more than enough) space for sleeping, eating, playing, etc. We found plenty of kitchen pots/pans/utensils for making nightly meals.

Family Reunion

It was a great place to stay. The location is beautiful, so peaceful right on the river. We enjoyed playing pickle ball, ping pong and paddle boarding and fishing on the pond. It was close to Yellowstone and hikes to various waterfalls in the area. The owner and the manager were great to work with.

AWESOME PLACE

We had a group of 24 people and we never got bored! WE played pickleball, fished the pond, played pool, sat by the fire, floated the Warm River and checked out the town of Ashton and had so much fun! Listening to the river all day was so soothing. Can't wait to go back again!!!

Beautiful setting with lots of room to roam and plenty of things to do with a large group. However, there were several things that needed repair (no smoke detectors and broken faucets and drains in two bathtubs) and the lack of air conditioning was a major downer. We had to have fans running constantly during the day and the noise detracted from the peace and tranquility of the site. Not the cleanest place I've stayed at. We expected more for paying 13,000 for 5 days. We enjoyed being together as a family though and accomplished our purpose.

Annual family get away

Great place to have a family reunion. There were 28 of us which meant having enough beds and bathrooms was a plus for us. The river was a gorgeous site to see every morning and evening. The kids and most of the adults also floated the river...multiple times. We also took a day to visit different sites, like Mesa Falls and Old Faithful. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Wedding Weekend

The Fall River Ranch was the perfect backdrop to our small, intimate wedding. Everyone had the best time and it was everything we could have imagined. I got several comments from people saying that the beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. There was plenty of room for our whole party and lots to do on the property. I would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful setting for a family reunion with 28 people.

We had such a great time the last few days at the lodge. Finding a place to accommodate 28 people of all ages, including many kids aged 2-17, is not easy. This lodge delivered and allowed all the adult couples a private suite and all of the kids a place of their own to hangout together. The kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to prepare a lot of food easily. The scenery is gorgeous and you really are away from it all here. It gave us great access to both Teton and Yellowstone since the lodge is in the middle of those two parks, and was great to see Mesa Falls which is pretty close. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing, Magical, wonderful location!

A perfect place for our family reunion. We have been traveling to many locations and this was by far the best! Plenty of room, beautiful facilities, and wonderful owners and managers. The private pond was beautiful and the deck above the river was magical. We loved the bunkhouse. The cousins had their own place to hang out. Each of the suites was so nicely furnished. A hot tub in the woods! AWESOME!! Everything was perfect! Fun things to do, and a beautiful location to relax and enjoy our reunion. Thank you, Peter and Debbie, for sharing this amazing place with us. We will definitely come back!!

Wonderful property

We brought our 3 children & spouses and 8 grandkids here for a week. Our destination was Yellowstone. The property was all that was advertised and beyond our expectations. There was some many dishes and items to prepare food with. We built a fire in the fire pit, made s’mores, fished in the pond, and enjoyed the hot tub. Saturday morning as we were preparing to leave, the battery on one of our rental vehicles was dead. The property manager’s wife brought a jumper box and we all made the plane on time. We would highly recommend this property.

AMAZING PLACE

We had 28 people in our reunion. I wanted a place that would be unforgettable! THIS IS THAT PLACE!!! Nothing better than waking up to the sound of the river a few feet away! The property is perfect for large groups! We spent nights by the firepit, playing pool and reconnecting with family. The fishing pond was Great and there were some large fish caught there. We also saw elk and bear on our walks! The property Caretaker and his wife were AWESOME! They were always available for anything we needed or any questions we had! This place had everything to make this our BEST Family Reunion Ever! We are looking forward to returning in a couple of years and making more memories!

Family Reunion

Had a great time at the Fall River Ranch. We gathered for family reunion from many areas of the US. The Ranch was beautiful and so peaceful. Wonderful to wake up everyday to the river right outside. The evenings cooled down and the jacuzzi was used every night. The pond was great for fishing. The great room in the main lodge was a great place to gather and eat our meals all together. We had a group of 26 at one time and was easily accommodated at the ranch. Owner and property managers great to work with. My only regret is it is far from many of the attractions or site seeing we did so were long days away from the ranch. An amazing gem set back in the woods, a great place to go and unwind and get away!

Corporate Retreat

We had 14 adults stay at the property for a weekend retreat from the every day hustle and bustle of our normal workdays. We arrived Friday and were greeted by the property manager who showed us everything we needed to know about the property. Spent the night laughing and telling stories by the firepit. Saturday we spent the day at Yellowstone. Many of our group had never been there so everyone had a great time. Sunday was a mix of hiking, watching the first weekend of NFL football and fishing in the little trout pond on the property which turned out to be so much fun. Let's just say we caught a "couple" of fish. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare anything you can cook, bake or BBQ. We had a great time and many in our group stated they would love to return with their families. Thanks,

25th anniversary celebration

We had a fabulous time with 6 of our 9 kids and 13 of our 15 grandchildren. A sister and her husband were also there. Everyone was in a bed! Third generation slept in the bunkhouse, others in the rest of the bedrooms. The entire place was very clean. The sound of the Fall River was the selling point for me. We did a river float with Rapid River Float in Ashton—very affordable and safe. That was the favorite of the group. We also had a tournament with everyone playing the 3 games of corn hole (provided by Fall River Ranch), ladder golf and bocce ball. Such fun with intergenerational participation— ages 80 to 5. One day, everyone drove the scenic highway to Mesa Falls which was lovely. Another day, everyone left the ranch in their own vehicles to go into Yellowstone. The main house was great for playing pool, cooking meals, baking cakes, game playing, a talent night and napping on the decks. Hot tub was great for old bodies and little kids to splash in. Refrigerator space was adequate, three ovens, stocked with kitchen ware enough for 30. I’m recommending this place to friends who want a place for their 50th anniversary next year. The only improvement I would recommend is to replace the dishwasher and add another one. Thanks so much !

Fantastic location that cannot be beat

There were 20 of us for a family reunion and we left still friends and everyone was very happy with the Fall River Ranch. Cons: - If you stay in summer, there is no AC. That said, if there's not a heat wave, then you'll be fine. We had one hot night, and the rest of our stay was beautiful. - Mosquitos. Not much the property can do about that but come prepared. - Some of the property is showing that it's a rental, e.g. broken handles on windows, worn felt on the pool table, gates on the deck railing that don't close. Nothing that will seriously affect your stay. - It wasn't new hotel clean. However, given where it is, I do not envy the cleaning crew trying to get this place spotless. In a location like this, you should expect a little dust and bugs. - The location is out there. If you want to go anywhere, then be prepared to drive. Pros: - The location is amazing. It's out there so you can see stars, feel secluded and enjoy the river. - The deck is as amazing as the pictures would lead you to believe. It's not property owner photography magic. It's the real deal. - The great room is a fantastic gathering place for a bunch of people. The most important measure to me in a review is this, would I stay there again? Yes I would. Here's how I see a 4 star rating: - This is a great place where I would definitely stay again, but it has some issues that are pretty easily dealt with.

The absolute BEST

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was just perfect! We had 21 in our group, ranging from ages 2-45. The lodge was immaculate with plenty of nice touches. There were fresh baked cookies when we arrived and two little baggie with cotton balls and q-tips and a full bar of soap in each of the 8 bathrooms! The kitchen is well stocked with high quality dishes and glassware for at least 30 people. All of the cooking supplies are there and are in great condition. The spa is very clean. The fish pond (which is about 100 yards away) is stocked with rainbow trout! The garage has paddle boards, life jackets, fishing poles, etc... The deck is huge and very relaxing. All of the bedrooms are well appointed and fresh towels are neatly placed on each bed. The bottom of the bunk house is precious. Our kids LOVED sleeping down there. There are two full bathrooms and a ping pong table downstairs. Just to clarify, the beds at the bottom of the bunkhouse are beds not cots. There are a few must dos: 1. Upper mesa falls. Wow, just gorgeous and about 20 minutes away. 2. BearWorld. It sounds corny but it's fabulous. You can feed bear cubs! Be sure to make a reservation though. 3. Cave Falls. Great easy hike in Yellowstone, about 30 minutes away. A few of my favorite things: The deck The fishing pond The sound of the river As soon as we checked in, I felt like I was on vacation. I unpacked, sat down and watched the river go by. We had 8 children with us, which typically could be a bit stressful but not here. They ran, played, laughed, explored, fished, swam and then ran some more. Side note: This has to be the best hide and seek house ever! I would love come back every year! Thank you so much for a great property!
