Vacation rentals in Rafter J Ranch

“This place was one of the most peaceful Airbnb stays we have ever experienced. My fiance and I visited Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons for a total of 5 days. We are always searching for unique stays wherever we go and this one is by far one of our favorites! The photos do not even do this stay justice! Not only do you get a private, peaceful and beautiful natural hideaway, you get a view of the Tetons just outside your window! There is a cute little babbling stream on the backside of the yurt that you get to cross over on the short hike from the car. There is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of flowing water! Our first stay here was for two nights. As we arrived I was astounded with the beauty of the foliage on the trail to the yurt! It was like something you'd only dream about. The yurt is nestled in a narrow forest with views on both sides of the property. We stayed here the first week of June and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! The Tetons were still capped with snow which provided a beautifully contrasted view to enjoy. There was a fire pit which we hung our hammocks around and were able to make dinner on the grate provided. Firewood is plentiful, but keep in mind you may have to chop the wood yourself. My fiance didn't mind, as he was able to show off his manly-ness for me and re-create his dream of being a lumberjack (he forgot his flannel shirt though). Kathryn provides several items you will need, incase you forget them. There were fire starters, several lanterns (batteries provided), two cots (which we didn't use but they are there), a large, comfy bed, a lighter, among several other items. We had everything we needed. There is a full manual that explains all that needs to be done when you check out, which is pretty easy. It's much like camping; pack in and pack out. Once we checked out we just took our trash to a nearby landfill/trash site and dumped for only $5. We enjoyed our stay the first two nights so much that we cancelled our third and final stay for the trip and re-booked the Yurt for our last night! We did not want to leave and neither did our pup. We live in Vegas so soft grass is lacking so she was happy to be able to run around and play fetch without hurting her feet on rocks! Oh! and there is an owl that came out each night for his hunt and we were able to get some photos of him and observe him catching his prey, so that was exciting! You will not regret staying here! Matter of fact, you will never want to leave.”

“My stay at here was fantastic! The room was nice and clean and the decorations made for a nice atmosphere. You can tell the place is all new and really well put together. I would stay there again. I was just there for one night so I didn't need much, but the amenities were just what I needed. The shower was really quiet, and the water was very soft. It made for a great shower before hoping in the super comfy bed. There is a washer, dryer, fridge and microwave if you need, but it's worth noting that they are shared with the other guests. I didn't need the washer/dryer, but if I had, it would have been tricky to coordinate. The walls are a little thin as other reviews mentioned. I got there late so it wasn't really a problem, but could hear the other guests going in/out of their room and the garage door the next morning. Overall I would recommend this place and would come back. It was clean, affordable, and very comfy. Just what I needed for my overnight stay :)”

“This AirBnB was our home base for visiting Grand Teton and Jackson and it was perfect for us. The view from the window is even more beautiful in person than in the listing, and the surrounding area is great, too. The books Robert chose to put in the unit were excellent, too. If it weren't for the fact that we were out exploring during the day, I would have been happy sitting in the unit, drinking coffee and reading the books! Highly recommend!”
