Niki Bates is the Best! Thanks to The Lodge at Palisades…read moreCreek for supporting guide Niki Bates in her support of The South Fork Initiative, an organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the South Fork of the Snake River. I bid on and won a day of guided Flyfishing on the South Fork donated by Niki Bates because she cares about this beautiful river and fishery. Our day started with a bang as 2 minutes after launching the boat a huge lightning strike forced us to pull over and wait for the storm to pass. It rained on and off all day but that didn't stop us or the fish. What a day of fishing! Niki put us on fish and knew just where to keep the boat so that our casts would be most effective. My son and I had a blast catching a lot of fish and a lot of very nice sized fish! And best of all, 75% of our catches were on the big dry fly! Whether it was the salmon fly or the golden stones, watching those cutthroats rise like a submarine to engulf the fly is an experience unmatched in any other fishery. We enjoyed Niki's knowledge, professionalism and overall commitment to having a great day on the river! I can't recommend her highly enough and recommend that you jump at the chance to fish with her. What a day! We'll be back to fish with Niki!!

The Lodge has become an annual retreat for us - a total escape with relaxation, fly fishing,…read moredelicious food and drink and the kind of wonderful hospitality that makes you feel like both a guest AND part of a family! The cabins give you a sense of being away and alone, but spoiled with beautiful surroundings and amenities. We love meeting other guests and hearing stories about their fishing and adventures - no one is a stranger there! I am not an expert anger, I am a novice at best, but every year I feel a bit more accomplished as I learn something new with each trip on the river. I can thank our fishing Guides for that! This year Josh and Cruz were awesome!! It bears mentioning that everyone was great, a shout out to all the staff who make this such a wonderful place to visit, and a special thank you to Charles, Tonia, Shayde and Justin who always make us feel so welcome!

Our host was incredibly friendly and gave us some great tips on local spots to check out for food and fun. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We're already talking about planning our next trip back!

The only reason the review got 3 stars was because of the location…read more We held my daughter's wedding at the venue and were told as well as it being advertised that we could use the indoor and outdoor space for her event. We were told two days before the wedding that there is a noise ordinance which is a county ordinance. That is fine but the time was not disclosed until the day before the wedding. We were then told we would need to move the entire wedding party for dancing inside the building. That the outside area that had concrete and lights could be used to set up tables for food but not for dancing. The venue does not have air conditioning so when it's hot outside it's not safe to have people being physical inside when you are renting the location because you want to be outside. Then at 10:00pm when you have to move everything inside with all doors shut it gets extremely hot. We had the police called out twice, the first at 8:00 pm and the second at 8:45 pm which were well before the noise ordinance time. Nothing like having police lights pull up to your event and people wondering what's happening and nothing is. You're also going want to know that the wasps are really bad. Obviously, you are outside, so we expected mosquitos and flies, but the wasp traps were completely full. We told the staff we had issues at the rehearsal and were told they knew it was a problem, but you'll have to empty them and get new ones if you want. We had a couple of people get stung and anyone eating outside had to deal with them flying all around you and your food. This event venue is expensive and there comes with that a level of expectations and customer service you aren't going to get. It's a lot of "sorry" but deal with it attitude. Parking close to the venue is an issue and the signage to the location is not well marked for guests who have not been there. If you have a large party plan to have golf carts or UTV's to bring people from the farthest parking lot. It's too far walk when you're dressed nicely or in heels. The speaker system is fine, but most DJ's want to use their own equipment and not plug into another system due to worry about breaking what they have. Which they don't allow and have someone coming to your event on the hour to check and see that you're following all the rules. Basically, if you want to spend a lot of money for an outdoor wedding this is not the best choice.

When a fishing lodge can flourish for 100 years under the same family ownership, they have to be…read moredoing something right- no almost everything right. Teton Valley Lodge (established in 1919) is an outstanding destination. It has it all: excellent access to blue ribbon rivers, comfortable accommodations, great food and friendly service. My buddies and I just returned from 6 days fishing and 7 nights at the lodge and it was a great trip. We fished several sections of the South Fork of the Snake River, the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, and the Teton River, which flows in the front yard of the Lodge. Joselle and Brian Berry run a fantastic operation. There is nothing they won't do for you to make your stay a success. I have fished all over the world, but it would be hard to improve on the TVL experience. The food is amazing (it compares to some of the best restaurants in NYC), the cabins very comfortable and well fitted out, the guides top notch and the service outstanding. And the location within easy reach of so many first class rivers is hard to beat. All of us caught the big three trout species: brown, rainbow and cutthroats, in sizes up to 23 inches. One day on the Henry's Fork, in fast pocket water, I must have caught 30 fish in one afternoon. My group has fished together each year for 25 years and we all agree that TVL is one of the top locations we have experienced. The cost was also quite reasonable compared to other lodges. Be sure to bring your cameras (or iPhones) because pictures of the scenery and the fish will be memorable. Thank you Joselle and Brian.

We stayed in their cabins and they were nice and cozy but furniture needs a major makeover…read moreespecially for the high price they charge but the Lodge is super nice and the views of the Tetons are one of a kind.

The water is so clear. An incredible day with a high 70's and a mild cool breeze, made it a perfect day. You could see pockets of snow in the mountain valleys and an incredibly clear day. The leaves are turning and the yellows and reds are exploding. We spotted deer, bald eagles, hawks and martins. It was a spectacular weekend in Grand Teton National Park and the fall colors only added to the beauty. If you have a chance, get to the Grand Tetons for a glance at Roosevelt's dream of the beauty of the USA.

Jenny Lake boating, Colter Bay Village visitor's center, and Jackson Lake Lodge were all closed. The latter two even had all the restrooms boarded up! Bummer, especially since the weather was still super nice, sunny and 75°. Some of our favorite stops were Mormon Row, Cunningham Cabin Historic Site, Signal Mountain Summit, and Jenny Lake. The 42-mile Scenic Loop is a must and covers most of the park. There are many turnout and overlooks along the way with gorgeous views. My favorite visitor's center was the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center. It had everything...a museum with exhibits, gift shop, large restrooms, ranger information desk, and a big lobby area for sitting and enjoying the mountain range view through large windows. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this national park. We would highly recommend!
