There is simply nothing like it around. I was a solo traveler (33F) from NY never having been to MT or out west - reading reviews online I liked that the ranch didn't seem to be like a "mill" and looked like more of an individualized experience & boy was everyone right. I was immediately put at ease before I even booked when I called the ranch and Melissa spoke with me right away answering all of my questions - she is extremely knowledgeable, responsive & informative. Upon booking she sent a bunch of information for packing/activities/etc. - there were absolutely no surprises and I felt very prepared for the trip & of what to expect - if you miss something it's because you didn't read it carefully & that's on you! My cabin immediately felt like home - it was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. There is so much charm to the ranch. Every meal was better than the next. Melissa, Kurt, & the wranglers are the real deal - they know the country better than the back of their hand & I was so impressed by them all. Having never experienced this kind of country I quickly went from being apprehensive to eager to go out every day and explore simply because of how at ease the wranglers made me feel. Kurt & Melissa have a real talent for reading horses & people and paired everyone PERFECTLY with their horses for the week as well as the group I rode with. I have never seen better cared for/happier horses in all my years of riding - I don't even want to say my horse's name here (& I won't) because I selfishly want her for the next time I go but she was really just such a great horse. There are not enough words or space in this review to say how much I loved this ranch and how much I appreciated the kindness and warmth Melissa, Kurt, their 2 boys, the guests, animals, and the entire staff of the CWR showed me. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart & I look forward to coming back as many times as I can!!

They never talk down to you or give you bad info. I honestly think this is the only shop that will give it to you straight.

Everyone is so awesome there, but I want to mention two employees that stood out this last trip, Jeremy and Chuck. Both were extremely personable, and have truly good advice that helped my wife and I up our catch rate exponentially. Love this place and I'll be coming back every single time I'm in the area over any other shop. Great Job Kelly what you've built is incredible!

One of the best vacations I've ever had.

It's not like going to a hotel resort, nothing fancy or too modern, it's quiet and remote. They have different options for accommodations (tent, RV park, lodge, and cabins). I love the outdoors but I need a bed and access to a shower. We stayed at the "condominium" for a group of 5 adults and 3 kids. It is a cabin with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs and a loft area upstairs. Beds are nothing fancy, not new but clean. Downsides to be aware with this rental is that there is no kitchenware provided so you do need to bring your own which is a possible con for travelers flying out of state to visit Yellowstone. You need a car to get around. I also thought the fridge was not keeping things cool enough so we put some things in the freezer. Other than that the cabin was clean and no issues with rodents inside the rental (common with cabin rentals in middle of no where). We spent most of our time at Yellowstone NP. We also saw a moose our first night at the ranch! We went in the fall and the leaves are beautiful by the resort. They were bursting with yellow and orange colors!! I wish I could post more pics but Yelp has 10 pic limit. The location cannot be beat for a Yellowstone trip. West Yellowstone is a 20 min drive so it's easy to go grab anything you forgot to bring from home or go out to eat there. There is also Wi-Fi at this resort. I will consider staying here again next time I visit Yellowstone NP.

BOOK ONLY IF THIS IS YOUR LAST RESORT. KOA is much much…read morebetter down the road. This review is for my RV campsite experience. You can read other reviews for lodging... it is as bad. This place is a rundown place. Poorly managed. Looks like the owner stopped improving and investing in this place. There are hundreds of bugs and mosquitos (literally) flying around outside your RV. See photos of bugs hanging on my mirror and windows. For RV hookups, they are providing the minimum. Some of the RV space will need a super long hose for your gray / black water hookup. Another horrible thing is the site where you parked your RV is not level, at the end of your day, you can't even fully dump your gray / black water. They charge you even more than KOA with such a crappy facility. I think they should REFUND me half the price.

The lake is small but offers pretty views, and there are several other fishable lakes and rivers nearby. The road in is very long (around 20 miles) and mostly dirt, so it can get fairly rutted and filled with pot holes. Definitely drive something in that's four wheel drive with some clearance. But wow is the drive beautiful with mountains and Centennial Valley views. The cabins were simple but well maintained. Very comfy beds, full bathrooms with good hot water. Off the grid, but powered by solar and propane generators. Food was excellent, especially steaks and baked goods. Entrees range from 15 - 35 for dinner. Lastly, Jake and Laurel were wonderful hosts - very personable and welcoming. They helped arrange some guided fishing trips for us that were fantastic.

Jared's Wild Rose Resort was a huge disappointment. I really must applaud whoever did their website…read morebecause it portrays a wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different. We had booked a hotel style room in one of their buildings. They also have cabins and RV hook ups. As soon as we found the place, their very dated and faded sign out front was the first indication that this place was old. It's over 100 years old and in many ways, feels like it. Despite this being a large property, it was pretty deserted. We only saw a couple of other people staying there. A pay phone on the wall. The "arcade" was dingy and outdated. The gym seems to be storage room. I opened the door to the gym and there was a mattress inside almost blocking the door. The first room they showed us felt like a basement because the view was slightly below ground, looking at galvanized metal placed just outside the window. The room was tiny and smelled musty. We asked for a different room. The second room they showed us was also tiny and smelled musty. It had a view that still made it feel like a basement, but at least it didn't have metal outside the window. We asked for a different room. The third room was bigger and had a full window view. It didn't smell, so we took it. We could see the resort was old and dumpy, but figured a clean bed and a shower was really all we needed. Our mistake was assuming the room actually had a bed. The so-called bed turned out to be nothing more than a queen sized metal cot with a thin mattress on it. OMG, that thing was so uncomfortable! At 3am we still hadn't been able to ignore the discomfort and had not gotten to sleep yet. My back was in so much pain!! We had booked four nights there, but we couldn't survive one. We started calling around to find another hotel with real beds and a vacancy. Once we found one, we packed up the car and checked out when the office opened. The guy at the desk didn't seem surprised at all and was very nice about it. Clearly he's used to the complaints. Jared's Wild Rose has been dying a long slow death. Best to avoid it and stay at a place for the living.
