FAQs
Reservations
Do you have a minimum stay requirement?
Yes, we have a small minimum requirement. We want you to enjoy the richness of the Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa experience on your schedule, not ours. So, unlike some Wyoming lodges (which require you to spend a week with them or no time at all) we have a 3 night minimum. If you can only slip away from the office for a long weekend, you're invited to spend that long weekend with us!
​
What are your rates?
Rates vary based on whether you choose to stay in one of our individually named and decorated lodge rooms, cabins, or our lodge suite. As an all-inclusive lodge resort, we charge a per-person per-night fee. You can learn pricing for each room, cabin, and suite by calling us toll-free at 866-213-4022.
What is included in my rate?
We are an all-inclusive resort and most of our services are included in your per night fee including your room or cabin, all meals, the Governor's Tea Time, the Rocky Mountain Spa (not treatments), saloon games like darts and shuffleboard, and most seasonal activities. Check in time is 3pm and check out is at 11am. There are no activities on check in or out day.

Events
How do I make a reservation for a large group?
We have all kinds of options available to accommodate your group or event needs. Please call our reservations experts at 866-213-4022 to discuss your plans, group size, dietary needs, and desired dates. We'll take good care of you and your guests
​
What types of events do you host?
If you can dream it, we can host it. We do anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, team building workshops, photoshoots, honeymoons, holidays, and executive retreats. Weddings are not our specialty and our facility is not appropriately equipped for this type of event. Call one of our reservations experts toll-free at 866-213-4022 to discuss your plans.
​
Can I book your entire facility for my event?
Absolutely! We frequently offer closed functions for weddings, executive retreats, and other large events. Just be sure to call our reservations specialists at 866-213-4022 well in advance to be sure your dates are available.
Can you help me plan a surprise party?
We love surprises! From cakes baked by our executive chef to distractions provided by our activities directors, our entire staff can get in on the act so your honoree never suspects a thing. We are very good at keeping a secret.
Can I hold an event at Brooks Lake Lodge without reserving rooms for the night?
Sorry, no. Our large rooms are available to guests only. To make sure you and your guests get the attention you deserve, and to prevent disruption to our other guests, we may require up to a 2-night buyout for weddings or similarly large functions.
​
What is your event capacity?
That depends on the type of event and your corresponding needs. We have 25 beds situated in 7 lodge rooms and 8 cabins. Altogether, our lodge rooms and cabins provide 18 private bedrooms. Our reception areas can hold up to 100. So, for example, if you are holding a corporate retreat and would like each individual to have his or her own bedroom, 18 is our limit. But if you are having a wedding or family get-together we can usually accommodate 100 at the reception and about 36 overnight guests. Call 866-213-4022 for more details.
Activities
When are your activities scheduled?
All activities at Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa are available every day, it's just that simple.
​
Do I need to book activities in advance?
With a few exceptions, no. For most of our activities including full- and half-day horseback rides, full- and half-day fishing trips, fishing lessons, hikes, canoe trips, children's activities, snowshoeing, and skiing, we only ask that you sign up for the activity at our front desk the night before you participate.
For snowmobiling and massage, we ask that you call ahead of your arrival to reserve your spot.
Overnight pack trips need to be booked at least a month in advance and are not available at all times. Please call 866-213-4022 for details.
Dogsledding and Yellowstone Tours are provided by third parties. We will make every effort to make these arrangements for you, but dogsledding, in particular, sells out early in the season. Please let us know well in advance if you are interested in these activities.
Big Game Hunting requires special arrangements. Please call 866-213-4022 for all the details about permits, licenses, and hunting season information.
How many activities can I participate in?
As many as you can make time for! Both full- and half-day activities are available. Every day of your stay you can choose multiple activities, or one, or none. It's entirely up to you.
Where do your snowmobile trips go?
Brooks Lake Lodge sits at the Continental Divide Trail system. You can snowmobile 567 miles of trails (490 of groomed and 77 un-groomed) at our front door. Popular destinations for tours leaving from our lodge are Austin's Peak, Sublette Pass, Lava Mountain, and Union Pass. We can tailor trips to meet your experience and desired difficulty level. Tours can consist of trail riding or more extreme mountain riding or a mixture of both.
What kind of snowmobiles do you have?
We have Polaris and some Ski-Doo mountain sled snowmobiles ready and waiting for you. If you would like a snowmobile we do not carry please call in advance of your trip and we will do all in our power to have it here when you arrive.

Meals
Are meals included in your rates?
Yes! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 4:30 tea are all included in your per-night rate.
​
Is your dining room open to the public?
No. The one exception is wintertime lunch when we serve snowmobilers riding the Rocky Mountain trails. All other meals are kept private for Brooks Lake Lodge guests.
​
Can I catch my dinner?
We encourage catch and release here at Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa; however, each couple or family may bring back 2 trout from the rivers surrounding the lodge to have prepared by our executive chef for dinner. (All trout caught in our casting pond must be returned.)
Can you accommodate special dietary needs?
Yes. Our executive chef is very accomodating and is happy to serve specially prepared meals. There are always vegetarian options on our menu. More restrictive diets like gluten-free or vegan will require a little more advance planning on our part. With your reservation confirmation you will receive a questionnaire that asks about your dietary needs or preferences, please return it two weeks prior to your arrival and we will make sure you are well taken care of.
Miscellaneous
Do you offer laundry service?
Yes. We recommend packing enough clothing to last your entire stay, but if you need us to we can launder your clothes for $20 per load.
Should I offer tips?
Tips are not required here at Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa. If you feel the service you have received here warrants a tip we recommend waiting until the end of your visit with us and tipping before you leave.
