• Scenic.
• Long drive up the hill to get there.

“An amazing deal in the summer. Views of the Tetons, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, and a fabulous bluegrass festival once a year. You can't ask for anything more. Rooms are adequate but not luxurious, but if you're up here to spend lots of time in your room, you're missing the point!”

• Location is far off the beaten path and amazing views.
• The particular building we stayed in had some floor creaking.

“Excellent location. The beds seemed new, even though the building and bathroom fixtures seemed a bit older. The floor had a few creaks here and there. The 27"+ flat screen was nice, but the stations in our room didn't come in that well. Not as good as the same channels in the nice restaurant bar area which had pretty good food.”

• The surroundings are breath taking. Extremely beautiful.
• The room was 90 degrees until about 1 am, NO AC just a poor fan. Not good when you want to relax.

“The room was not the best, no AC in the rooms just a table fan which didn't work too well at all. The restaurant was excellent so was the restaurant staff. The Hotel staff left me feeling not welcome. The surroundings were great.”

• What a beautiful view.
• The hotel steakhouse was outrageously priced!

“The view was beautiful, the people friendly, however when we went in to eat at the steakhouse, we were appalled at the prices. We drank only water, ate only an entree and our bill was almost $70.00 - that was without any appetizers, salads, or desserts.”

• There was snow in June.
• Very little hot water and no lighting in the room.

“Overall the hotel was nice. However requesting something in the Jackson hole area, and got a room two hours away was less then pleasing? Might be great for skiing, however visiting the Jackson hole area, you would not want to stay here. The lighting in the hotel was horrible, very light, and hard to see. TV stations weren't kid friendly, any Disney or nickelodeon. And the area we stayed in has 30 gallons of hot water, for about twenty rooms. Need I say more!”

• Great location. Beautiful scenery. Lots of activities. Good food and staff.
• Liked everything.

“Beautiful resort. Would highly recommend it while staying near Jackson Hole/Grand Tendon area. Magnificent skiing resort it looked to be. We were a little early for the snow skiing. Everything great. Lots of hiking trails, horseback riding, pool etc. great food. Rate it a 9.5 with 10 being perfect.”

• Location was pretty, restaurant food was excellent.
• It was much too far from Jackson Hole. Walls/ceiling paper thin.

“This may be a great place for a ski vacation or to get away from it all, but there is little to do during the summer and too far from Jackson Hole with steep mountain roads to drive in between.”

• The restaurant, when open, was very good.
• Needs major maintenance. Certainly does not deserve more than 1 star in current condition.

“This might be a great place in the winter for skiing or in the summer for outdoor activities, but it was tired and worn and lonely in mid-September. I asked upon checking in if there was a restaurant and was told yes. However, the restaurant was closed, at least for lunch. None of the other shops or facilities were open or available and we felt as if we were the only guests in the hotel. It reminded us of THE SHINING! Dinner in the restaurant was very good as was the service, but there were only 3 parties in the restaurant that night.”

“The resort is great, in the mountains, it provided hiking, biking, chairlift, restaurants right there with a variety of choices, the lodge was old but nice, the mattress need replaced it was quiet and peaceful. I loved it, I would go back again. ”

• We practically had the place to ourselves (offseason).
• Although clean, it needed several minor repairs.

“Certain aspects of the hotel were dated, which is no big deal if they are kept in good repair. We noticed a number of little things that needed attention, like paint and wall patching, which are simple fixes and relatively inexpensive.We enjoyed that it was a small resort, although we understand they intend to expand a great deal in the near future. This is too bad, as we enjoyed the more intimate atmoshpere afforded by a small resort. I fear the "cozy factor" will be lost with expansion.”

• The hotel staff were helpful to give us informaion about getting to Yellowstone Park and for our trip back to CA.
• Knew it was rustic, but getting rough around the edges, crack in the bathtub. Didn't know how far it was from Yellowstone, distance was inconvenient.

“Knew it would be rustic because it's a ski area, but definitely not a quality hotel. Hotel Staff were helpful and friendly. When we booked we had no idea it would be so far from Yellowstone, our destination. Map was misleading to us. In their dinigroom, we ordered a steak dinner which was very tough, but we didn't comment..the people were so nice.”

• The Grand Targhee Resort is nestled in the mountains. We were in awe of the beautiful scenery.
• The room we stayed in was very outdated and musty. The housekeeping was obviously not doing their job. Dirty Dirty. No resting easy there.

“The Grand Targhee was rated at two and a half stars. One and a half of those stars must have been for the breathtaking views of the mountains. The room we stayed in was not cleaned properly and it was very outdated like no changes had been made to it since the early 80's. If I had it to do over again I would just camp out, still having the view and same cleanliness that our room had only cheaper.”

• A great quiet place in the summer, really laid back, the rooms were rustic and clean and very comfortable.

“It is neat to stay at a ski lodge in the summer. Very quiet and in the trees and the lodge was really neat. The food was great. Atmosphere was wonderful. I would stay there again.”

• Beautiful surroundings.
• Room was a dump. No hot water. Sink did not drain.

“Although the natural beauty in which this hotel is located is great, the hotel does nothing to supplement. We arrived at appr. 3:30 pm and the the hotels stated amenities (rock climbing wall and horseback riding) were already closed for the day. Obviously a great ski spot, but avoid otherwise.”

• Beautiful mountain location. Nice resturaunt at the lodge. It is a great get away.
• It is a little out of the way. But that is also something I liked about it.

“It was great. The hot tub was a little bit to hot. But other than that me and the wife loved it.”

• So beautiful! I couldn't believe the quality!
• You have to drive up a mountain to get to it...we arrived at night...it was a bit hard to find but the hotel staff were helpful!

“Wonderful hotel that I strongly reccomend. This is a great hotel!”

• The surroundings in the Caribou-Targhee Forest are beautiful
• It was too far away from Yellowstone National Park (107 miles) which was our primary target

“The Grand Targhee is in an idyllic location if you want to be in a National Forest with lots of great scenery. The ski lift ride to the top had a breathtaking view of the back side of the Grand Tetons and the valley below. The activity prices were reasonable. The accomodations at the Sioux Lodge definitely need refurbishing.”

• beautiful, right at the base of the ski mountain
• It is 12 miles off route 33 (Driggs), which is a bit far if just driving through.

“Highly recommended, great outcome, beautiful hotel.”
