Experience the Golden Days at Hatchet Resort— a Pet-Friendly Adventure!

There is something truly magical about the early part of May each year before the parks open and the hustle and bustle return. Nature and wildlife have found renewal, and the landscape comes alive. At the Hatchet Resort, we know it as the perfect time for four-legged companions to indulge in a little rest and relaxation too— with fresh mountain air.

Why Vacation With Your Dog?

Dog lovers know that a dog is more than just a pet— it is part of the family. So, vacationing any other way just doesn’t feel right. By taking advantage of our Golden Days, you both benefit.

So, why bring your dog along?

  • Strengthen your bond. When you and your fur friend explore new places together and create new, shared experiences, you are deepening your connection.
  • Reduced stress for both of you. Planning a visit to Jackson Hole and leaving your dog behind is tough on both of you. This time, you don’t have to worry about that! There is no need for a pet sitter, you can both indulge in time away in the mountains.
  • Outdoor fun. Dogs love being outdoors in nature. Now, they have the opportunity to do just that with other furry friends!

Things to Do With Your Dog

There is so much to do at The Hatchet during Golden Days. The days are long, and your pup is sure to release all their energy from sun-up to sun-down— finishing the day by relaxing under the stars.

Leisurely walks, off-leash play, outdoor dining, and sitting around a firepit are just a few of the many things you can do while here. The idea is to break the monotony of everyday life and give you and your dog an unforgettable getaway. Relax. Play fetch. Mingle. Do what makes you both happy.

TESTIMONIALS

Steve & I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such a wonderful wedding weekend! The Hatchet was the perfect place for the celebration, and we are so glad we chose it. The sunset was gorgeous, and the photo booth in the teepee was great!

The food was excellent and the accommodations were very western, which is what the trip was called, “a Western Adventure!”
The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Everyone loved the gift shop and the staff was very friendly.
No one missed the air-conditioning! Thanks for a fun experience.

Our stay in late fall at the Hatchet was true magic. Wild animals, epic hikes, trees ablaze with color, and of course the park.
Do not miss breakfast or dinner – and of course rest easy knowing you will rest, easy.

It is great and unique places like the Hatchet Resort that make my tours standout!
I really love the place and the location too!

Our stay at the Hatchet Resort was wonderful – everyone was so nice to us, we really felt welcome and valued and will refer you openly.

We had a great time! And, it was nice meeting you and the rest of the staff we got to know. We’ll hopefully do it again in the near future.

Our stay at Hatchet was one for the record books, and our accommodations were first class. I am already planning on coming back with Gretchen next summer, and also have my daughter and grandkids join us.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Hatchet Resort and really enjoyed our time there. We liked our cabin so much, we wrote about your lovely place in our travel blog post about Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

Thank you soooo much. We had the best times of our lives. You were all amazing, organized, friendly, fun, and fantastic. Truly a dream come true for Wes and me!

Thank you.

THANK YOU ALL!

Thanks for bringing your A-game to give Meghan and Wes’ guests a beautiful day to remember. It was a treat to work with each of you! If there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
