Who are we?

In 1925, the year Moose Head Ranch was homesteaded, Jackson Hole was a land of pioneers and ranch families who worked hard to live in such a beautiful, pristine setting. The Ranch was purchased in 1967 by John Mettler and is now in the capable third generation hands of Chris and Lindsay Davenport, who grew up on the ranch and are now following their parents, Louise and Kit, who are retiring after many years. Eddy Edmiston also grew up at Moose Head, and has taken over the ranch manager position when his father, Dave, retired after 37 years. For both management and guests, there’s something about this Jackson Hole Dude Ranch that gets in your blood and keeps you coming back …. again and again.

Why Choose Us?

Moose Head Ranch is unique. Unlike other guest ranches Moose Head Ranch is privately owned, family operated and completely surrounded by Grand Teton National Park, providing our guests with a panoramic vista of the Teton Range.
Imagine riding with your family and seeing elk, bison, mule deer and antelope up close. Picture meadows of alpine flowers such as lupine and fireweed as you gaze down at the legendary Snake River. At the end of each ride relax on your cabin porch or the Lodge deck with the ever changing vista of the majestic Tetons in the distance, with no blaring horns or city noises, just the sound of the babbling brook and the laughter of your children as they play with new found friends.
All of that and more is here for you at the ranch.

The Lodge

Welcome to Moose Head Ranch’s spacious lodge. Enjoy some early morning coffee in front of a roaring fire. Put your feet up and relax on our deck after a ride. Play ping pong with the kids. Bring your laptop and check your e-mail. Grab a cookie and some lemonade and read the paper. Join other guests for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before sitting down to a delicious gourmet meal.
‍
Moose Head accommodates approximately 44 guests in comfortable and well appointed cabins that are scattered amongst the cottonwoods and pines. Many overlook our stocked trout ponds. Most have wood burning stoves and all are equipped with small refrigerators and coffee machines, and ice is delivered daily.
It’s all here for you.

Activities

Saddle up and go for a morning, afternoon or an all day ride. Moose Head’s minimum riding age is 6. Families and couples ride in small groups always accompanied by a wrangler.
‍
Take a light hike down to the river, or simply relax and enjoy the splendor of the Grand Tetons from your porch.
After dinner, go for a drive to look for elusive moose that come out at dusk. Join other guests and the crew for a friendly game of softball. Watch the sun set over the Tetons from your cabin deck or porch.

Moose Head Family

At Moose Head we believe in family vacations, and for us, this means you ride and eat with your children. Moose Head’s gormetis a pleasant surprise to our new guests, as it is not the norm for most ranches. Moose Head takes pride in our staff. They are carefully chosen for their personality, ability and character as we like them to be polite, respectful, knowledgeable and terrific role models. In fact, quite a few have had older siblings, or even parents, work at Moose Head. Dude Ranch vacations are not for everyone and a stay at Moose Head is unlike most experiences. The most momentous decision you may have to make during your stay might be whether to have the salmon or the rack of lamb for dinner.
We welcome you as family and hope that when you leave you truly do feel you have become a part of our Moose Head family.

“Take a boy and a girl to the beach for a week and ask them ten years later the name of it; they will have forgotten. Take them to a ranch, and they will remember its name and the name of their horse for the rest of their lives.”
-Gene Kilgore, author of Ranch Vacations

Moose Head is only 18 miles north of the Jackson Hole airport (JAC), which is serviced by several different airlines, and most guests find it easiest to fly right into Jackson. It can be considerably less expensive to fly to Salt Lake City, and Moose Head is a 5 hour drive from there. You will definitely want a car while you are at the ranch, for running to town, going rafting or to the rodeo, Yellowstone or hiking. Lindsay or Chris are happy to assist you in making a rental reservation.
