5/3 Moran Lodge With Grand Teton Views

“Moran Lodge with Grand Teton Views” was a great base camp for snowmobiling at Togwotee. Although, we did not snowmobile from the cabin, there was plenty of space to park a snowmobile trailer and multiple vehicles at the Moran Lodge. Just be prepared that this “rustic” Lodge could use a little TLC and isn’t the cleanest. However, the kitchen, dining area, and living room was very spacious for preparing meals and relaxing after a long day of riding. There was plenty of supplies and the Moran Lodge was stocked with everything we needed to make meals. The Grand Teton views from the lodge were beautiful.

This property is ideally located on Buffalo Valley Road off of Hgy 26 which is just a few miles from the entrance to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. It is 40 miles or so from Jackson. It worked great as a basecamp for a family of 8 including 5 children and 3 adults. Two of the three first floor bedrooms are a bit cramped and without good storage for long stays (we were there 9 nights). Great fully equipped kitchen and large great room with giant table. Immediately outdoors a view of the Grand Tetons just above other small cabins.

Clean property and housed myself and my employees great.

The cabin could use a little tender loving care in terms of bathrooms and windows but the location and experience were great. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room to spread out all over the house. The table was huge with plenty of seating. It, of course, happened to be record setting heat when we were there, so another fan upstairs would've been nice to circulate the air until the night cooled everything off. The area was perfect, the stars were amazing and hearing elk calling right outside our windows at night was definitely a highlight. We were centrally located for Yellowstone and Jackson Hole and right at the foot of the Tetons. It was beautiful.

The place needed some general maintenance. Light fixtures weren't all operable, window blinds were falling apart, and sliding screen doors on sliding doors to outdoor patio area were not well maintained. Overall it was an enjoyable stay due to location for 7 ranging from 7 years old to grandparents. We would certainly return for similar accomodations.

We paid more per night for this property than any other VRBO we have ever rented and it was not worth the price. It was too far away from the park to be very convenient. It has a huge kitchen but does not have the basic items needed to prepare meals. We couldn't even find a can opener or basic pans for cooking. They really need to update the blinds and some of the other furnishings. The pictures made it look nicer than it was. However, we did have plenty of room for everyone and the living room furniture was new and really comfortable.

It does say that it is newly remodeled, and the front room and kitchen have been redone, but the rest of the house has not. Kitchen was nice and well stocked with dishes etc. The bedrooms and bathrooms did leave a little to be desired as far as cleanliness. We did buy a new shower liner for one of the bathrooms because the old was ripped and water was getting everywhere. The beds were fairly comfortable, but the rooms could use some dusting in corners etc (cobwebs and spiders). The blinds in the bedrooms were less than great (missing slates/broken etc). Was just ok and would choose another property for the money next time.

Great experience. Property manager was super nice. Clean and fully furnished. We would definitely stay here again.

I left a few messages for the property manager to get firewood but I never got a response back. We finally spoke with a housekeeping person and she told us to take some from another cabin. Other than that the house was great and will be renting it for our next trip . Thank you

Did my research ahead of time. Was not surprised that this cabin is a remodeled house. Does not take away from the charm. Interior could use more updating, but it looks like a work in progress. Great room very large. Plenty of room for 9 of us & TV provided wide variety of channels. Great for keeping the kiddies occupied while resting up after excursions. Updated kitchen is very nice. Ample dishes. pots/pans, flatware & cookware, coffee maker. toaster, blender, etc. Fridge has automatic ice maker, but bring an extra bag to throw in the ice chest (provided) for excursions. Cleaning products and paper goods already stocked. Bathrooms neat and clean. Toilet paper and hair dryer provided. Beds were comfortable, but some of the pillows have lost their fluffiness & need replacing. Upstairs are 4 single beds, but no bath. Airflow is minimal, but there is a box fan to draw air from one end to the other. 2 small windows overlook great room & can be opened a couple of inches to aid airflow. Placement of headboards keeps children from being able to open windows wider (great fall precaution). *** Could use a baby gait at base of stairway. Outside was nice in front, with propane BBQ grill & patio set with lots of seating. Side patio had a leaky faucet/hose & stayed wet. Horses right outside back door. Kids loved it. Storage room: extra linens/towels, ice chests to borrow for excursions, port-a-crib and high chair. .. too much to remember. Arrived an 1-1/2 hrs early. Housekeepers were still inside (our own fault). They were nice enough to let us unload groceries to put cold foods in fridge & then we just hung out on the patio until they were finished. Overall, very satisfied!
