Rancho Alegre Lodge

The most amazing lodging experience you can have in Jackson Hole! High on a bluff just south of town, with 360 degree views of the Teton Range - the ranch is like no other in the Valley. It's 10,000 sf of elegant yet rustic living space, contains 8 suites filled rustic European antiques, and vintage western art. There are 8 fireplaces, most of which Frank has going throughout the house from morning to night. Frank - the owner - has owned the Ranch for 30 years. He is gracious, fun and goes out of his way to provide special touches that make guests feel at home. All of our children, family and guests had a special memory of Frank's generosity and kindness. The home is filled with stories - each one with a story that Frank is only too happy to share as he was good friends with the previous Dutch Baron who lived here previously. The fresh eggs every morning and Cowboy Coffee from local award winning Jackson roaster, made country breakfasts with our family and friends like no other. Located close to all that Jackson Hole has to offer, ask Frank to recommend the best Fly Fishing Guides, the best whitewater rafting companies, and the best horseback riding in the Valley. He knows them all. Since returning full time to Rancho Alegre in the Fall of 2016 the Ranch has taken on new charm and been restored to its former historic status as the premier family Lodge in the Valley.

We loved our stay at Rancho Alegre. We had a special family event here and it was perfect. Beds were comfortable, lots of room for a big group, cute bar area and gorgeous master bedroom with views of the Grand Tetons. This home does not disappoint. We loved having it as part of our special event!

Our family of 21 (10 adults and 11 kids) spent a week at Rancho Alegre Lodge and it was, as several of the kids said, "the best week ever". Before I describe how amazing it is, I should first say that it's a bit rustic and eclectic. It's not air conditioned (generally not a problem in Jackson) and a number of windows don't have screens (but enough do), and it could use a good cleaning. If you're looking for a five star resort with daily maid and turn down service, this isn't it. However, if you are looking for a place with incredible comfort, spectacular views, non-stop entertainment (and I don't mean kids on video games) this is it. Rex and Connor are the sons of the owners and were our hosts during our stay. There wasn't anything they wouldn't do for us from organizing daily afternoon whiffle ball games (Rex even mowed base paths into the lawn), to building fires in the firepit, to offering to go into town to pick up some milk or something else we needed. Heck, they even baby sat for the kids when the adults decided to go into town for dinner. We got back around 10 or so and Rex and Connor had all of the kids together playing a game of Sorry. Then there's the 32 chickens, 8 goats, 2 pigs, geese and now 6 turkeys. The young kids headed out early every morning and gathered fresh eggs for breakfast. It was simply an amazing experience. The only downside to our Rancho Alegre vacation was that the day before we were headed to Yellowstone, the torrential floods came in and closed the park. It was disappointing, but as one of the kids said..."I'm glad we couldn't go to Yellowstone because now we have to come back". And we will!! Thanks Rex and Connor.

We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary at Rancho Alegre Lodge and it was the absolute best place and location we could ask for! The views were spectacular!! The animals on the property made this place unique and a very fun family environment. We are a family who loves animals and enjoyed them coming up to us wanting to be petted and the kids even helped with the morning barn chores. Rex (the host) was absolutely amazing!! So patient and kind with the kids and available if we needed anything! Our shuttle to the airport didn’t show up and Rex immediately without a second thought helped us get to the airport so we didn’t miss our flight. The pool table was a HUGE hit! We played volleyball many nights and messed around with the wiffle ball. Every morning there was a herd of elk that passed by the property and if you were up early enough you would have the pleasure of seeing them. I can’t recommend this lodge enough! We will definitely be coming back and enjoying another beautiful stay at this beautiful historic lodge!

Our extended family spent a week at Rancho Alegre Lodge over the 4th of July and had an amazing time! The mountain views and location are stunning, the house has so much history and is so spacious, Rex and Ike went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay and the kids loved staying on a real farm with animals! Farm fresh eggs every morning, sunset goat walks in the evening and the kids helped feed the animals every day! This is a wonderful property just minutes from all the action of Jackson Hole, but with the peacefulness and privacy you crave while on vacation. Highly recommend!
