Lots of places to stay...
Croocked Creek ranch

We stay at TML. Get a cabin and book it online for your best deal. Pretty cool place. I've never stayed at other places but wouldn't be against it. They re just hard to get a hold of.

I would also recommend TML. Closest to some of the best riding. Wake up in the morning and pull the rope and go. Good food and fairly good service as well. Have stayed in both the cabins and the hotel. Heard they also updated the hotel part. Hot tub outside by the cabins as well for after a hard day of riding.

Try Crooked Creek guest ranch their rates are cheaper, and you are only 10 minutes from just as good of riding, plus you dont have to deal with all the commercialism of TML, treated us really fair and wont be staying anywere else after our experience there!
at tog, usually you can get a lodge room for about 120-140 per night per person depending on the dates. prime times are always more expensive. up front the price looks steep but you get your room, happy hour with drinks and snacks, full dinner menu minus alcohol, hot breakfast buffet, your guide for the day, 10-15% off in the pro shop, and convenience store, discount on fuel. then you do it all over each evening. pretty much everything you want but, alcohol after happy hour, and tips for the wait staff, and guides is included in the price.
even if you get a cheap room, you need to get 2-3 meals each day, and if you are not staying on the mountain (read: dubois, jackson hole), you have to drive/trailer to ride each day. thats your time, and your money.
in my opinion, time and money better spent riding from your door at crooked creek, lava, brooks lake, or togwotee mountain lodge.
your results may vary. Ski

We stay at Tog lodge also. If you book before Nov 30th, there is a pretty big discount. We are staying in the lodge suite this year, 5 guys, 6 nights, and it is about 700 bucks a piece. Like Ski says, that includes all our meals, discount on gas, and the guide. We do tip the guides 20-25 bucks a day per person. I have had Nate, and last year Lefty. I have a 19 hour drive to get there, and I just want to ride, not cook, clean up, or trailer anywhere.

Are all 5 guys staying in the suite room? That could be tight... Staying in the lodge is the way to go IMO. We did the cabin the first yr and while it was nice, bundling up to walk and back and forth for meals got old. While walking down stairs in my slippers is perfect...
Was Nate a bit taller than average, bald headed and in maybe his 30's?? Rode with him in 08 but didnt see him when I was there in 09. Finally getting back there this Feb and requested either Carter or Jeff but Nate was a good guy to.

Skylar, lynne and I stayed in a suite last year, it is not as big as you think it is. they only have one big bed, and a set of bunk beds, and a small sitting area with a couch.
with that many guys and not enough beds.... remember you can pole to pole, or hole to hole, but, no pole to hole.
when are you guys going out? it is a 30 hour drive for us, and you got it right, i dont want to trailer, cook or clean. i just want to ride.

You guys are OK with POLE TO POLE??????????
Rode Friday and Saturday, snowed about a foot Friday night. We stayed at the Super 8 in Dubois for about 1/4 of what it would have cost to stay at TML, that being said TML is awesome and we have a cabin reserved there over Xmas break. Snow was great, not much of a base, but depth of 3-6' in most areas. Nobody really hit anything. Great for early december. Worth the 13 hour drive one way. Pics-
