Dinogo Readers’ Top 5 Resorts in Wyoming for 2024

In Wyoming, the essence of the Wild West endures, featuring expansive and untamed landscapes. Visitors come to escape the chaos of daily life and immerse themselves in a different reality—one where elk and eagles coexist, the sky is clear, and the air is pure. Most of the state’s premier resorts are located in the Jackson Hole area, nestled at the base of Grand Teton National Park and adjacent to Yellowstone National Park, but the standout choice may be in an unexpected location.

For each attribute, participants were able to select a rating of excellent, above average, average, below average, or poor. The final scores reflect the average of these ratings.

What Captivated Readers

It’s no surprise that Dinogo readers praised the resorts in and around the charming mountain town of Jackson. Known for its challenging slopes in winter and abundant wildlife in summer, this ski town also boasts an Old West charm that permeates even the most luxurious hotels and resorts.

Among the five winning resorts in Wyoming, four are situated in the Jackson Hole valley, including one property in Teton Village, located at the foot of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a year-round haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

A reviewer of The Cloudveil, Autograph Collection (No. 2), located in downtown Jackson, shared, “We enjoyed our stay so much that we immediately rebooked for the following [Christmas] holiday week as soon as reservations opened. The staff are exceptional, and the central location in Jackson Hole is perfect for accessing all the activities in town.”

Situated just outside of town, the Amangani (No. 5) offers a serene retreat from the town's hustle and boasts breathtaking views. One reader remarked on the setting as “stunning,” while another highlighted the hotel’s “spectacular views and unique design.”

The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch is located over five hours from Jackson, where all the other 2024 World’s Best Awards winners are found—an important factor for travelers seeking an authentic guest ranch experience far removed from the ski town's glitz and glamour. At Brush Creek Ranch, there are no pretensions—just 30,000 acres of secluded land beneath a starry sky.

The estate features three all-inclusive guest ranches set against the backdrop of the historic American West—imagine rolling hills with grazing horses and roaring rivers teeming with fish. In addition to its vast and tranquil landscapes, this dude ranch offers over 100 activities, including access to 20 miles of private fishing and 600 acres of exclusive downhill skiing.

The all-inclusive nature of Brush Creek Ranch is unparalleled. Guests enjoy meals and beverages sourced from The Farm, which features its own greenhouse, distillery, creamery, and bakery. A spirit vault and a 94-yard wine cellar complement the ranch’s culinary offerings.

After a day filled with exploration and gourmet food, guests can unwind in one of three accommodations: the year-round Lodge & Spa or the seasonal Magee Homestead and French Creek hideaways. T+L readers described Brush Creek as “an unforgettable experience,” with one remarking that “the scenery is stunning beyond words. The activities are enjoyable and engaging. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience.”

This marks the second consecutive year that Brush Creek Ranch has claimed the top position in the World’s Best Awards, having also secured the No. 1 spot in 2023.
