My family has stayed at the Crooked Creek guest ranch for each of the last several summers. It is located about 15 miles from Dubois, WY (small town on US 26 on the way to Yellowstone and Teton NP) and up Union pass road.

During the summer it is a very family oriented place with ATV and horse back riding rentals, fishing closeby, and the continental divide (about another 15 miles drive up Union pass road... but hey you drove this far what's another 15 miles).

The staff is usually very friendly although they tend to turn over from summer to summer.

Lodging is in detached cabins (~15) with 1 - 3 rooms depending on configuration. Some have TVs but reception is spotty. Sullen teanagers might not like the lack of TV but hey you didn't drive here to sit in the cabins rather you're here to take in the great outdoors. Cabins are serviced every other day.

The guest ranch overlooks a meadow with mountains framing the background.

The food at the dining hall is good, reasonably priced, and
comes in large portions. Service at the bar (open 5 to whenever) is nice as well.

If you're looking for an out of the way, quiet locations, with plenty of outdoor activities and friendly staff then this is the place for you.
