R Lazy S Ranch

Lodging

The main lodge is large and majestic, while still feeling comfortable. A massive fireplace offers a gathering place for guests, while large windows bring the magnificent views inside. If you crave more privacy, enjoy a view from the porch of your log cabin. 14 modernized cabins are available, each of which is distinctive and different. There are various floor plans and sizes from 1-3 bedrooms. All cabins have private baths, electric heat and many have a living or sitting room with fireplace or a wood stove. Western ambiance is present in the baskets of hanging flowers and colorful decor. Laundry facilities are available.

Activities

Whether you are an accomplished rider or have never been in the saddle, riding at the R Lazy S will be a pleasurable experience. Since we have over 80 horses, we can select one that best fits your ability, keeping you on that horse and tack for the length of your stay. Morning and afternoon riders are divided into small groups according to ability and each is led by an experienced wrangler. We offer instruction. The R Lazy S has approximately 17 different all-day rides throughout the valley. Extensive fly fishing, with a guide or solo, is available. The R Lazy S has direct access to several miles of private frontage on the Snake River, one of the West's top trout fishing streams. The Gros Ventre and Teton Rivers, plus many other streams and mountain lakes, known for the quality of fish caught, are also nearby. A private, stocked pond is also on the property. Float trips, including white water rafting, in the Snake River area can be arranged. Wednesday afternoons, the ranch takes the kids to Jackson Lake to partake in water sports. Back at the Ranch’s "swimming hole" and creek afford swimming and "inner tubing" opportunities for all ages, and there are several warm-spring pools in the Valley. We also have dancing, talent night and evening games for families to enjoy. There are Western art galleries and several theaters presenting old-fashioned melodramas. Shoot a round of golf on two beautiful 18-hole golf courses at the foot of the Tetons; play tennis or take mountain climbing instruction. Rent bicycles and ride the miles of pathways existing directly outside the ranch gates. Take a  spectacular tram ride to the top of the Tetons at Teton Village. A day's trip to Yellowstone Park is always a great day for our guests.

Children

Children of 7 years and older are welcome from June through August (September is an adults only month). Interest for both children and teenagers centers around the horses. Their special riding program includes instruction, gymkhanas (games on horseback), half-day trail rides and all-day rides to nearby mountain lakes. Also marshmallow roasts, hayrides, and cookouts cater to youngsters. The younger guests normally ride separate from the adults with their own wranglers, but family rides are scheduled throughout the week and when requested. Children and teenagers have their own separate dining room.

Dining

All you can eat, gourmet meals with a western flair are provided daily. Quality, balanced meals are served at sit down dinners in the lodge, which has great views of the Tetons. A Sunday 'welcome' happy hour is planned each week. Children dine separate from their parents. Buffets and cookouts are also planned.
