“I could talk about the quality of life here, the fly fishing and horseback riding every week, or how well the ranch takes care of its staff, from food to housing to paycheck. But if I'm honest, the one reason I keep coming back is that Lost Creek is a place where people's dreams come true. And you get to make that happen. We've facilitated engagements, weddings, birthdays, mournings, reunions, and everything in between. The ranch had a heartbeat long before I arrived, one that makes room for families, friends, and relationships to be vulnerable together, to share an experience that changes entirely what a vacation should feel like. We do it week after week, all summer long.”
– Declan Wagar Office Manager, Family & Ranch Photographer
Sarah Glover at Lost Creek Ranch For three years now we have invited author and chef Sarah Glover to spend a week at the ranch. Her masterclasses are built entirely around live fire. Whole ingredients, most of them local, cooked over coals and in cast iron the way food was made in this valley long before there was a kitchen to make it in. Nothing about the method is fast, and none of it is meant to be. A meal that takes all day to build, tastes like it did. On Wednesday morning our guests took over the usual Breakfast Cookout and made dutch oven biscuits themselves, served with jam cooked down the day before over the same open flame. Hands in the dough, smoke in the sleeves. Friday night closed the week the way it had to. The farewell cookout became a full wild banquet, set out under the Tetons.

Three years in, Sarah has taught us something about food we did not know before. What lands on the plate is only ever as good as the hours behind it. We eat with our eyes, but we eat with everything else too, and the tending shows. A fire kept since before most of the ranch was awake puts something into a meal that no technique replaces. We are fortunate to sit where we sit. Whatever we present out in the sage, the Teton skyline is still what holds it together, and we have long since stopped trying to compete with it. Chef Week returns in 2027!

“The customer service was exceptional from the moment we were picked up in town.
“You get the most photographed view in the Tetons every single day without having to walk more than 30 steps.”
“The whole family, from toddlers to adults, had a wonderful time with all the activities: hiking, horseback riding, kids' club, yoga, etc.
“Chef John and his team consistently put out creative, fresh food, and it was something we genuinely looked forward to each day.
One of the best family travel experiences we've ever had.”
I think the food was by far our favorite out of all three years we've been there!”
Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to see guests...”
