Goosewing Ranch — Hotel in Jackson

I meant to write this review months ago. We visited Goosewing for a multigenerational family reunion, 12 us in all ranging in age from 8 to 73. Words can’t even express what an amazing vacation this was for us all. My 8 and 10-year olds put it best when they said it was the “best trip ever!” And they have been to plenty of places. My mom, the matriarch and bedrock of our family, planned this trip with just a little help from me. We chose Goosewing together. It was the last trip my mom took, she passed away unexpectedly a month later. We cherish the memories we made with her at this ranch and hope to come back one day soon. ||I’ll try to keep this short and sweet. The ranch is off the beaten path, which makes it much more special and secluded than others closer to Jackson Hole. We went days without seeing anyone outside of the ranch hands or our family, perfect for us who needed to truly get away from it all. Zero cell service but WiFi in the lodge was strong enough to sometimes make it to the furthest cabin’s porch - you won’t need electronics though, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained (including a 16yo and 13yo!). We were fortunate enough to have the entire ranch to ourselves, which made it easy for us to stick together for all activities. We were in the four furthest cabins, two 2-bedrooms and two one-bedrooms. Cabins were super comfy, well appointed and views unbeatable. Each cabin comes with a UTV, hands down one of the best extras of this ranch - can’t imagine not having access to this! The lodge has a lofted game room with pool table and other fun things but the kids spent most nights playing pool while the adults talked around the fire. Outside game room has shuffle board and ping pong plus there was horse shoes and corn hole outside. ||Onto the activities. Unfortunately even a dry season can have bad weather and it rained for the bulk of our trip. The first couple of days we had decent weather and were able to do two trail rides plus team penning, shooting and fly fishing, as well as axe throwing and archery, horse painting, line dancing and lassoing. Fishing wasn’t great due to all the rain but everyone still had fun casting and trying! Once the rain started it didn’t really stop. We had to turn around when we tried to go into town for the rodeo because the roads had washed out…we even needed assistance driving our rental van back to the airport at the end of the trip. This is no one’s fault but I would recommend a 4-wheel drive, we would definitely rent one next time. Even with the rain though, the staff went above and beyond to find things for us to do! Our last day they set up karaoke and a Bloody Mary bar, this turned into a highlight. We all want to go back to experience the ranch with better weather. ||The area is 5-star, you won’t find a prettier place to explore on a UTV or horse. Food was spectacular morning, noon and night; don’t miss the afternoon treat. Staff is fabulous, everyone was knowledgeable, kind and patient. Accommodations were perfect. Washer and dryer onsite, they even provide detergent/dryer sheets. This truly is all-inclusive, really no need to pack anything extra. ||I’m not sure I’m doing justice to this amazing slice of Heaven, you just need to book it and find out...

Goosewing Ranch surpasses every expectation, if you are on the fence- book the trip, you will not regret it. We stayed for 6 nights and I’m so glad we did. In my opinion 3 would not have been enough, I wasn’t ready to go after 6. |The staff here is absolutely amazing. They truly make you feel like family. Amy, Jaime, and Robin are incredible. They’re so organized and accommodating. They, along with the rest of their staff will make you feel like your family is the only one on the ranch. We had some incredible wranglers: Elise, Alysha, Summer, Caldwell, and Locke were all so much fun, knowledgeable, and personable. We could not have asked for more. |The daily and nightly activities are so fun! They work really hard at Goosewing to make sure that everyone enjoys their stay, there is something for everyone! Team penning was my favorite. Line dancing with Elise was so fun! Lucia and Hannah were great with our activities throughout the stay. The kitchen staff is amazing also, they are extremely attentive and accommodating. The food is great. The head chef, Richard, is so nice and comes out often to talk with guests and make sure everything was received well. Every single thing we ate was delicious! There are so many employees at this ranch and we have nothing but great things to say about every single one of them. |The horses were the cherry on top, they take incredible care of these animals and it shows! They are all absolutely beautiful, healthy, and happy. |The cabins were so cozy and clean. The beds are extremely comfortable! Having your own UTV for the stay is a huge plus, we were able to get around the ranch, and spent a good bit of time exploring off the ranch enjoying the beautiful views. WiFi at the lodge works really well, we were able to get it from the front porch of our cabin as well most of the time, but once you’re there you won’t be worried about your phone.
