Headwaters Lodge & Cabins at Flagg Ranch

If you’re looking for pristine wilderness accommodation then be aware that this is not the right place. There was a fire some years ago which left the area looking quite desolate. The rooms are at best “dated” which are 2 to 3 star motel type rooms at 5 star prices( like all Vail Resorts properties). And the whole setup is weird,with different sub contractors running the store, coffee shop and restaurant. Not impressed and expected better.

We stayed at Flagg Ranch-- one night we went camped and another we had a cabin. The first night there was a large group of very loud campers until nearly 3am. When we called after hours of this, they drove through so the crowd was quiet until they passed, but continued on afterward. The sites were clean and easy to find, but lined next to each other. There were many trees which was the beautiful part, but you are camping pretty close together. The cabins were awesome (no electric). Bathrooms were a walk but they were clean. It is very dark at night, so don't forget a flashlight! The restaurant in the lodge was good, but pricey-- had great breakfasts before heading out to the Tetons and Yellowstone-- the best part was the location right between those! We will go back.

horrible experience! We checked in at 22:00 after a long day of hiking. When we got into to the cabin we were shocked!! It smelled bad (like horse ranch). The room was dirty. The sheets had a stain and hairs on them. We were moved to a cabin with a smaller bed than we paid for. Avoid at all costs! Would give zero stars if I could.

We LOVED Headwaters Cabins! The overall location is around 5 minutes from Yellowstone & Tetons. We stayed in the larger cabins, with bathrooms inside, and thought the rooms were clean, spacious, comfortable, and fitting for the environment. The cabins were amongst tall conifers, which smelled so good! The front porches had rocking chairs to make a hot cup of coffee super enjoyable in the 45° summer mornings. Employees were super nice and caring. The restaurant's food was DELICIOUS and the servers were very attentive. We asked the host what his favorite parts of Yellowstone were and he came back with a map, highlighted and circled with his own personal favorites. We were incredibly impressed with (I think his name was) Quentin! Overall, one of our favorite lodging experiences.

Visited summer 2023. Cabin was okay but they didn't change the bedsheet! It was so gross to see someone else's dandruff or whatsoever when you were ready to go to bed! And since there's no phone working in the room, we had to drive back to the front to ask for clean beddings (in the dark and well surrounded by the hungry mosquitos)!!!
