Kodiak Mountain Resort — Hotel in Afton

First off, let me say that I have lived full-time in my RV traveling throughout the USA for the last 5 years. I have stayed in approximately 100 RV Campgrounds from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Mexico to Canada.

With that history in mind, let me state that this is the best RV Resort that I have ever had the pleasure to stay. No exaggeration, no hyperbole.

In fact, I already have my reservation for next year and I will be back for 6 months beginning May of 2023.

Aside from their delicious breakfast buffet, soothing hot tub, and the rest of the all-encompassing amenities, the main reason that I am coming back for another extended period is because this is a family owned, family run resort. Both the family and all the employees are kind, generous and compassionate. The resort is owned by the Call family, and managed by Jordan Call and his wonderful wife, Rachelle. And if you are lucky, one of Rachelle and Jordan's two adorable children will be somewhere around the resort bringing smiles to all the guests!

I feel very fortunate to have finally found a "home" where I am welcomed like a part of the family. The kids are always happy to see me, and I make it a point to stop and see them every time they are on site.

I really appreciate that the owners allow ATV's and UTV's and snowmobiles to be driven to and from the exits for trail riding, but they are very good about not encouraging people to just joyride around in the park or be reckless, loud, etc.

This is certainly NOT the place to come if you want to party and drink and get wild. Probably need to get to Jackson for that! LOL!

Each RV site is a full hookup, with a picnic table and fire ring. The water pressure is excellent, and the Wi-Fi is generally very good. All the sites have a sizable yard with very nice green grass that is watered automatically. Each site also has two Aspen trees that are growing into very nice shade trees.

I have found that Row A has the best Wi-Fi signal followed by Row B. Row C is furthest from the Wi-Fi and the resort amenities.

There is a small bit of construction going on to accommodate further additions to the resort. As I understand, a large swimming pool is going to be built to compliment the hot tub that is already in use.

Yet another exciting project they have started is a building that will accommodate a fully equipped gym, a gun shop and an archery shop with a 3-D archery range.

I was also quite surprised and very impressed with the 4th of July celebration that the Call Family, owners of the Kodiak Mountain Resort, provided for the guests at the resort. Not only was the fireworks display for the resort guests, but the entire community of Afton, WY was invited to come out to the resort at no cost. The fireworks were a very big event! It was all computerized and would certainly rival any large city 4th of July celebration!

Another very valuable benefit of staying at Kodiak is the treasure trove of local knowledge that the resort staff has. Most all the folks there are born and raised in the area. They have given me some great tips on hiking and ATV trails to get into the backcountry and experience the beauty and solitude of the Rocky Mountains. It's nice to be able to get inside information from the locals!

The town of Afton is also a great place to visit in and of itself. The town has a beautiful Main Street with all kinds of shops and restaurants. I attended the Lincoln County Fair which was a lot of fun with great food! And if you feel up for a bicycle ride, it's very easy to ride into town for a bite to eat.

I also loved the 2 massages at the resort's amazing spa. Both therapists provided excellent professional relaxation and relief of stress points.

There was only one hesitation I had to overcome in writing this review; I don't want the Kodiak Mountain Resort to get too popular and me not being able to get a spot. However, since I have my reservations booked for next year, I...

We recently stayed here as a family of 6 in the RV Park. We enjoyed the location and space between trailers. Kodiak Mountain Resort has the potential to be a GREAT resort - however we experienced several issues through out our week stay. We made our reservations a year and 3 Months in advanced and upon arrival we were told our group ( 3 trailers with reservations ) were all split up because “ they could split us up “

The restrooms were constantly out of toilet paper, soap, paper towels and the showers weren’t ever cleaned on top of full sanitary napkin bins in all the Female restrooms stalls causing an issue for everyone who walked into the restroom.

There isn’t a member of staff on site overnight and multiple nights there was a noise issue and no one to help resolve the issue. ( this may have been an unusual circumstance but there was a wedding on the property that went well into the MORNING, with overly loud music until 2:30 AM. )

Lastly the owners daughter, who runs the resort was very unpleasant to deal with. She was rude, snappy, irritated and all around seemed annoyed at us the second we checked in. If we had another option of a location to stay, I believe we would have walked away from our reservations here at Kodiak mountain. Rochelle, the owners daughter ( we were told ) did apologize for being so rude and said “ I am just frustrated. “ while I do understand giving grace, it would have been nice to have been welcomed with a different mood from the business other than frustrated when we couldn’t have been the cause of the frustration.

All around we enjoyed the location, it was difficult using the public amenities and if we had to deal with the staff it was difficult.

But the views helped Make the situation enjoyable! Don’t let this review stop you from visiting here, however I would explore your options into other areas if these experiences could also be an issue...

My parents stayed here December 15-18th. Things were going well until December 17th (the day my parents were scheduled to checkout) and my dad slipped on ice covered by snow that had not been cleared in the morning on the way back from the lodge after getting coffee. My parents are older, but in fantastic shape (especially my dad) - they bicycle year round and do 30+ miles 5 or more days a week (in addition to strength training). There was no one around and my dad had to perform the reduction of his dislocated knee in the snow on his own. Did the “resort” take any responsibility for his injury- NONE! Did they offer any sort of compensation when my parents had to stay an extra night because my dad’s knee was so swollen he couldn’t sit in a truck to drive home - NOPE! This lack of accountability and customer service is reprehensible and extremely concerning! My parents will never stay here again and we have spread the word to friends, family, motorcycle club “family,” and my husband’s military job contacts to avoid this business at all costs.|Could some blame have been put on my parents? SOME, sure. Is this winter in Wyoming and has this business been around long enough to know how to shovel and salt/sand its grounds sufficiently enough to protect its patrons - most definitely! Did they? Nope! Should they be liable for at least some of the additional costs associated with my dad’s medical costs and the extra night’s stay - MOST DEFINITELY. My parents may be okay with just not returning and sharing their experience, but I’m still livid and reaching out to lawyer friends about legal advice on how to recoup some costs from this...
