Our family has been coming here for a few years now for our family reunions. It's really big and costs about $1000+ a night in the summer. However, when you have 8 or 10 families splitting that price, it can be an affordable option. We tend to stay for an entire week.
Nestled in the back corner of St. Anthony, Idaho, you can see the Tetons from the lodge and it's surrounded by grain and hay fields. (If you have allergies, be sure to bring your pills!) There is also a small-ish pond nearby with a couple canoes that you can play in.
With 11 queen beds and a bunk bed, this sleeps a lot of adults (and you can pitch some tents outside as well on their large lawn and field). There is also a bunk room that sleeps at minimum 16 kids, 20 or more if they're little. It's a great place to dump all the cousins and grand kids at night. There are also 6 bathrooms, a washer & dryer, and wireless internet (though it can be dreadfully slow and spotty and different places in the lodge... they need to add a signal extender or another base station).
There's a hot tub, tennis court, baseball diamond, volleyball net, air hockey, climbing wall, giant building blocks, ping pong, foosball, pool, and more. There's a slide that goes down into the bunk room and a separate small gym with balls and scooters and another slide for kids to play in.
Basically, kids come here and play play play play play, and as a parent that's exactly what you're looking for. Low maintenance, high enjoyability.
The kitchen is spectacular with two large industrial refrigerators, two ovens, and a large freezer and a deep freeze. There is also plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen comes stocked, but the quality of the cookware is sub-par (to be expected). If you're particular about your knives, you'll want to bring your own. The ones at the lodge are dreadfully dull.
With a Broulim's grocery store just down the street as well, food is never too far away. As an added bonus, there's a large dumpster out back by a shed where you can toss your garbage once the cans fill up.
One thing you should be aware of is that with a pond nearby, there are mosquitoes everywhere. Be sure to bring your spray or you'll be eaten alive.
All in all, this is perhaps the best reunion center we've found to date. It comes highly recommended in my book. read more
