Best in Crooked Creek area
The location is perfect for snowmobiling as it is close to Union Pass Rentals. The house is perched on the side of the mountain, the view from the front porch is one of the best in the area.

Great place to stay for a Side by side trip!
Our family stayed at this beautiful property for a side by side trip in the area. What a great place! Bruce has everything you could need at this house. Bruce was so easy to get a hold of as well! We had coffee on the deck every morning and enjoyed the beautiful scenery! There was a restaurant down the road (crooked creek) that has amazing food and a hard working staff. The area itself is great to ride! Great trails & beautiful scenery! The town of Dubois is fun to visit too! We can’t wait to come back to this property to snowmobile too! We will be back! Thank you Bruce!

Spruce Lodge Escape
Had an awesome time. Property was exactly as described. If you are into exploring via by foot or side x side, the surrounding area is vast. We spent a lot of time hiking in Dubois, and at Grand Teton National Park. Wildlife abounds all around the lodge too. At night, while on the veranda, look up into the sky. It will be majestic. Thanks Bruce and Karen for a great vacation. Mike and Kim Kick

Thank you Season, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Spruce Lodge. Union Pass is a very busy road & sometimes gets a little ruff but the scenic view makes up for it. Thanks again for being my guest, Bruce

Great setup for our group of 9. Next to the trail and fuel. Plenty of room to spread out in the house, cook meals, and hangout. Large garage to work on sleds and ability to park truck and trailer right on property. Excellent property and extremely responsive host. 5 stars!

Snowmobiling
There was a group of 8 snowmobiling and relaxing at the cabin. Access to the trails was great. The rental shack is within walking distance which carried essentials and fuel for the sleds. The house has all the necessities and was warm and inviting. We built a fire a few nights but the loft got very warm so we didn't the last night. We will most definitely be back.

Fall Family Adventure
Our family spent a week in the wonderful Wyoming Dubois area. Spruce Lodge was a comfortable, cozy, and clean retreat! Days were filled with exploring while evenings were enjoyed relaxing by the crackling wood fire. Consequently, this home was perfect for our family retreat. In the future, we hope to return to the region and this charming cabin!

Annual tip to WY Rockies
My spouse and I make annual trips to the Shoshone/Bridger/Teton area to disconnect and refuel. This was our first stay in this beautiful home, and every aspect of our stay far exceeded our expectations. The house is well stocked with any need you may experience; stop in Dubois for groceries before you head up Union Pass and you will be set for your entire stay. Excellent sleeping and lounging areas, and if there with a group, it would be easy to spread out and enjoy time to yourself. While you have a fabulous kitchen and dining area to entertain your crowd, we recommend strolling over to Crooked Creek if you need a restaurant treat. The food was fabulous, too - and bringing it back to the house as takeout still allows you to sit on the porch and enjoy the scenery and fresh air. We had our ATVs and a UTV with a trailer and the driveway/parking is designed perfectly to assist with in-and-out for that type of setup. We really also appreciated the use of the garage space when we had some small tinkering to do on the ATVs to keep out of the elements. We can't say enough about our stay and are planning a return for sure! Thank you for allowing us to stay at the Spruce Lodge.

Spruce Lodge mountain vacation
The cabin, which is located on the side of a mountain, was comfortable and perfect for 11 members of our family. There was everything needed for preparing meals. Prong horns went running in front of the cabin a couple of nights and deer were in the front yard in the early morning. We went hiking almost every day around the cabin area, in the Tetons, and in Yellowstone. Some of us played games in the evenings and some relaxed. The deck and view from the deck were wonderful. Because of mosquitos, I would suggest bringing bug spray or area bug repellent.

Great Cabin Stay
We loved our stay at the cabin! It was very spacious and cozy and had all the amenities that we could need! It was about 1 hour away from Grand Tetons and about 2 hours away from Yellowstone National Park! We saw birds and a fox near the cabin! The cabin is up in the mountains on some bumpy gravel roads so it took us about 15-20 minutes to get up and down from the cabin each time we went into town or on our day trips. Otherwise we had a fabulous time and loved the huge fire place, cozy beds, comfortable living spaces, and outdoor fire pit!

This place was the best of the best. Our 2 grown kids had the bottom level to themselves. 2 bedrooms and a bath. Complete with living area just for them!! The main level with kitchen was spacious and very well stocked!! Coffee, filters, seasonings, even laundry and dish detergent! We saw wildlife every day at the cabin. The ATV rentals across the street was convenient and Yellowstone was just an hour and a half away. Amazing. We hope to be back someday. Louisiana is quite a trip, but this cabin was worth it!

The house was perfect for our snowmobile trip. There was plenty of room for our group and the property is in great condition. We were able to keep our sleds in the garage, which was nice for any repairs or adjustments we needed to make. It is right next to the trail, too.

A magical winter getaway!
We travel for the Christmas holiday with our immediate family and were looking for a place where we could enjoy nature and we found it! The cabin was amazing, and the ability to park in the garage was greatly appreciated. My only note; be prepared for the 4.5 miles up the mountain which is stunningly beautiful, but it is just that - a drive up the side of a mountain. We were there for Christmas, and our 4x4 F-250 was perfect for the 7" of snow we received while we were there. The cabin; you could not ask for a more perfect setting for our family time. The fireplace kept us all toasty, while we enjoyed the views from the picture windows and prepared meals in the kitchen with every tool a professional chef could ask for! Our time in the cabin will be some of the most treasured of all our Christmas vacations. In fact, both of our young daughters told me that they wanted to live there when they grow up. Enjoy your winter getaway at this property, we certainly did.

Absolute 5 Star Stay!
The property and cabin were amazing. My wife and I took our 5 kids to Grand Teton and Yellowstone and stayed at the cabin for nearly a week. There was PLENTY of room, the kitchen was huge and there was space to hang out and relax. This was by far the most well stocked kitchen (appliances, cookware, spices, extras), house (games, blankets, furniture) and bathrooms (towels & extras) we have ever rented on VRBO. Highly recommend staying here! If you do stay here we recommend cooking your own meals. You're 20+ minutes from a store or restaurant. The great part is that the kitchen is fantastic and has everything you need!

Inviting Mountain Lodge Home
We rented this house because of its relative location to the Wind River and Teton hiking area and to take in the landscape's natural beauty. We ended up enjoying the lodge home as much as we enjoyed hiking! The lodge home was very comfortable, with all the amenities anyone could need, including plenty of firewood. We would rent this house again for its location, cleanliness, warm atmosphere, and gracious owner.

Excellent Mountain Retreat
First, I didn’t realize that the cabin was actually on a mountain. It’s Wyoming beautiful. The road leading up to the cabin is winding and awesome. The location is great with an ATV and Snowmobile rental business very close by. The pictures on the listing do not do the cabin justice. It’s decorated in typical lodge fashion with very nice amenities. We found it super comfortable for our family of four, although it can easily sleep 10. We had no cell service, but the Wi-Fi is very good. It’s about 20 min from Dubois and 1:20 min to the entrance of Grand Teton National Park. We preferred this vs the crowds in West Yellowstone or Jackson. The owner provided good communication and quick responses to any questions. Our kids didn’t want to leave! We’d stay again anytime!!
