Had my wedding there. Although a beautiful location, service and organization was lacking. The day was lovely but could have gone better with a more professional staff. Wouldn’t recommend it unless they improve services.

I am alone and stayed two nights in the dorm rooms in the main lodge... I was alone. Small room and bathroom down the hall... Europe... all good. Slept to the sound of the river each night. Breakfast was amazing. Best part was dinner. I came to WYOMING to get the best shrimp etoufee I have ever had. Setting 5 stars. Food 5 stars. Hiking 5 stars. Sights 5 stars. But please don't come here. I want it all to myself.

Absolutely wonderful folks and a great new lead chef. If you happen to be within 100 miles of Story, detour to the Wagon Box - it will be worth it. Awesome Caesar and Summer salads.

I want to preface this review by stating we had read the recent reviews and went in to this knowing they had a new chef (the past week) and growing pains (not sure for how long, but that was the word on the street. We were staying in story and didn't want to drive to Buffalo so we decided to give it a try without high hopes. We got seated right away on their patio outside. They had a musical entertainer who is very mellow and in the background and it was pleasant sitting under the trees in the shade. The cute little goats in the pen nearby were an added bonus as were the deer passing through.

Once we sat down it was a good amount of time before we were paid any attention. We put our drink order in for a cocktail, beer and waters. The cocktail and beer came after maybe 15 to 20 minutes but the water never happened until we asked for it again 25 minutes later. We had prime rib and a burger. So we will just say it was not a fast process getting the drinks, or the water, or ordering, or getting the food. However , the burger and prime rib were good when they came.

A visit to the bathroom allowed me to see the very overflowing trash can. I find it hard to believe it got that full just that night because while there were people there it wasn't that busy. Seems like someone could have emptied the trash before the dinner hours.

We did stop by in the afternoon to look at their menu and told someone we were doing this and they didn't mention an interim menu (which is what they're currently offering )so we looked at a menu that had probably eight items on their entree section.. The interim menu (that we only saw when we came for dinner later) only had two main dish offerings plus the two specials on the board (which were different than the specials they had on the board when we came in the afternoon). We did this primarily because I have celiacs and wanted to make sure there would be something that sounded good to eat on the menu. It worked out fine, but I wish the waiters and waitresses that were working at the time had mentioned that the specials would be different and that they were only offering an interim menu at this time.

Don't know if I would recommend the place or not because they do seem to have growing pains but they weren't awful and have room to grow but take the recent reviews seriously when you consider coming here and decide if you're patient enough to deal with that.

Camping (glamping) on the property in a new canvas wall tent on an elevated platform with a queen size bed, fan, coffee maker and beautiful furnishings six feet from a fast-flowing brook. Wonderful experience. We ate at the Wagon Box on the new chefs 2nd night and had one of the best meals we have ever had! Service was exceptional as well. Will definitely return!

We visited for an early dinner with friends. Tree shaded location with live music on the deck. A rain storm chased everyone inside. Music continued. Food was just ok. Service was sterling. Rooms?

I spent many a childhood summer in Story and the Wagon Box embodies all that is precious and wonderful about Story.

The property itself is beautiful with a creek, lots of trees, and wildlife visitors (if you're lucky).

The accommodations are cozy and well decorated. There is something special about falling asleep to the sound of the tent side creek and a gentle breeze.

Lastly, a very special thank you to the staff - Mark, MJ, and Taylor are truly wonderful and add to the magic of the Wagon Box.

Nearby activities: There are a number of neat things to do within driving distance:
- Story Fish Hatchery
- Fort Phil Kearney
- Buffalo Pool
- Lake DeSmet

We were staying nearby. Had heard good things about the Wagon Box. So we were there for dinner on my wife's birthday. Mistake. Quite literally the worst restaurant meal we have had ever. They told us the menu was limited that night and we should have left. The drive to Buffalo or Sheridan is worth while.

Slow service, took 45 min for 3 burgers

Good food. Ate on the deck. Beautiful setting in the Ponderosa pines. The prime Rib was much overdone and not medium rare as we ordered, but still tasty.
