The Moss Family Reunion and Retreat Lodge, where spacious comfort, private and peaceful surroundings, and stunning views invite you to unwind and reconnect. With room for 22 guests, six bedrooms—including a bunk room for kids—and five bathrooms, this spacious lodge has room for everyone. Nestled in a secluded but easily accessible aspen grove and overlooking rolling farm fields framed by rugged mountains, this is the ideal spot for large groups to gather, relax, and enjoy time together. Whether for a family reunion, corporate retreat or a quiet escape, this beautiful lodge is ready to be part of your story.
The space
The Moss Family Reunion and Retreat Lodge offers the perfect retreat for large families and corporate and church groups, and serves as an ideal base camp for excursions to Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. There is plenty of space - both
indoors and out - for everyone to relax and unwind. The property features ample parking, a large patio and yard, a small indoor private heated pool (available for an additional $150 per stay), a playground, an outdoor fire pit, a premium barbecue grill, tons of outdoor seating for outdoor dining, and a small kid-friendly zipline. Indoors is a well-stocked, recently renovated kitchen, two fridges, a large eating area (enough room inside to seat 22+), a game/theater room, and plenty of room for outdoor gear. There’s also a separate den area for office work, but we suggest you do as little of that as possible! An adjacent RV pad is available in spring, summer, and fall (110 v and water hook-up, but no septic), and there’s plenty of nearby parking just off the county road for large trailers. For outdoor enthusiasts, awaiting in the summer months are world-class fly fishing and white water rafting on the South Fork of the Snake River, scenic hiking, mountain biking, motorcycle/ATV trails, and two large nearby reservoirs for boating and water sports (Ririe -15 minutes away, and Palisades-30 minutes away). In the winter, enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and sledding right outside your door, or head to the nearby ski hill (Kelly Canyon), about 20 minutes away, and enjoy a relaxing soak at nearby Heise Hot Springs (open year-round) on your way back. Heise also includes a large summer pool and water slide, ziplining, a 9-hole executive golf course, and a year-round pizza parlor. Renowned Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee Ski resorts are both less than 90 minutes away, and the world-famous Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is a wonderful day trip. The Upper and Lower Palisades Lakes make for a beautiful full-day or overnight hike (6-7 hours out and back to the Upper Lake). Don’t forget to try Big Jud’s in nearby Archer for its
world-famous larger-than-life one or two-pound burgers and delicious shakes, or Rainey Creek Country Store in Irwin (25 minutes away in beautiful Swan Valley) for its famous square ice
cream cones! The Farmhouse Table at the 7N Ranch near Heise offers a mouthwatering dinner/lunch and Saturday/Sunday brunch menu. For evening entertainment, catch a western dinner show at the Mountain River Ranch near Heise or a melodrama at Pierre’s Theater in
Victor (less than 50 minutes away in scenic Teton Valley). For early risers, you will be blown away by the spectacular sunrise over the mountains to the east. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, the Moss Family Reunion and Retreat Lodge is the ideal year-round destination.
