Description
The ranch consists of seven cabins, a lodge-dining hall and a laundry-utility building, as well as a barn, garages, sheds and a corral. The ranch is sited on the west bank of the Snake River. All buildings are in the style known as "dude ranch vernacular", characterized by log construction and board-and-batten infill. Logs are generally varnished brown, but roofs are red or green asphalt roll roofing. Cabins are largely original construction with newer toilet additions to the rear. Interiors are intact with exposed logs in the walls and floors.
The property is an inholding in Grand Teton National Park. The property was sold as a life estate by Emily Frew Oliver to the National Park Service. The property will eventually revert to full National Park Service control. The 4 Lazy F was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.
