About this property
The Ritz at the Historic Trail Creek Ranch
The Ritz sits on Trail Creek Ranch in Wilson, Wyoming. The historic ranch was a Dude ranch for over 50 years and The Ritz is one of the cabins that families have enjoyed for decades.
The Ritz has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed (with stellar views from bed), and an enclosed loft (accessed via a spiral staircase) with twin beds. There is a living room with gas fireplace, small kitchen, and full bath . The living room also has a pull out couch.
It has great big picture windows for the incredible views out to the hay field and mountains. There is a screened in porch for storage of coolers and gear and there is a picnic table with a gas grill outside the cabin along with adirondaks to enjoy the views.
There is room to roam around the Ranch, visiting the horses, swimming in the heated swimming pool, sitting by Trail Creek, watching the hay crew putting up the hay for the season. Plus you can hike right out your door around the Ranch or on the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Trail Creek is centrally located just a couple of minutes from our cute little town of Wilson, 10 minutes from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (the ski area), and 12 minutes from the hub of Jackson. There are numerous restaurants close by for all tastes. The southernmost entrance to Grand Teton National Park is 12 minutes from the cabin and it is 90 miles to the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
This is a great jumping off spot for the family that wants to enjoy all that Jackson Hole has to offer, but also wants to enjoy the real Jackson Hole.
Trail Creek Ranch has been a working guest ranch since the 1940's, and is the ideal place to experience a slice of the real western life. The cabins are set up simply, all with beautiful views and settings. You can even help with some ranch work in the summer months when it's haying time!
The combination of hiking and/or biking right out your door is unsurpassed anywhere in Jackson Hole. Along with all of the other activities Jackson Hole has to offer, this is the perfect 'base camp' to enjoy it all!
Trail Creek Ranch has a rich heritage with guests coming from all over the world for the last 50+ years. They return year after year and it's often said that Trail Creek is their home away from home.
This is the way to experience a guest ranch - with lots of independence, without the big costs.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Menolascino

Muggs and Alex lovingly run Trail Creek Ranch. A ranch that was purchased by Elizabeth (Betty) Woolsey, who was the Captain of the first women's olympic ski team in 1936. Betty found the Ranch when she skied down from the top of Teton Pass to the front of what is now the Main Lodge. She was so enamored of the property, she bought her first 40 acres that year, 1943, and started taking guests in 1946, and built it over the years to the 275 acres it is now. When Betty died in 1997, she placed an easement on the land with the Jackson Hole Land Trust, and left it to Muggs and Alex to continue the traditions of sharing a little piece of heaven. Muggs is 96 years old and has retired from her work, but she oversee the dragging and haying of the fields and taking care of the horses and land. Alex, and her husband Mike, have made their home here for the last 36 years and have raised their four boys in this beautiful valley.
