Teton Village

West Bank/Mid Valley

Town of Jackson Grand Teton National Park

TOWN OF JACKSON

Some of the advantages of choosing lodging in the town of Jackson include easy access to restaurants— from casual eateries to decidedly upscale dining establishments—and a multitude of shops. Other perks include the rodeo grounds, museums and art galleries. Snow King Mountain, which offers both day and night skiing in the winter and numerous activities and events throughout the year, is located on the southern edge of town. Jackson is also a short drive from Jackson Hole Airport and Grand Teton

National Park.

The widest range of accommodations is found in town, too, from charming B&Bs to budget motels.

TETON VILLAGE

Your other major lodging choice is Teton Village, the home of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. “The Village” is the happening place to be during the ski season, with its own enviable roster of shopping and restaurant options. In the winter you have instant access to the ski resort without the hassle of parking—simply carry your skis to the base lift of your choice and off you go into the powder! During the summer months a stay in The Village is quieter, but imbued with expansive views and a mountain feel. Teton Village is pedestrian-friendly, so you don’t need a car to go anywhere within it. The START bus provides regular service to and from the town of Jackson. And the southwestern entrance to Grand Teton National Park is only minutes away.

WESTBANK/MID-VALLEY

Condominiums and overnight suites are available in the Aspens/Teton Pines area 4 miles south of Teton Village.

Spring Creek Resort, which sits atop East Gros Ventre Butte, is 3 miles west of the town of Jackson and offers a range of overnight and weekly accommodations. Its next-door neighbor, Amangani, caters to the even more luxury-minded. Scattered throughout the valley are B&Bs, guest ranches, cabins and private homes to rent. Check out vrbo.com and Airbnb.com for the latter option or go to jacksonholetraveler.com for more suggestions.

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

To experience Grand Teton National Park to its fullest, many people choose to stay within its boundaries in the summer. This offers you the opportunity to be close to what the park has to offer while still being able to travel back and forth to Jackson for other activities and in-town dining. There are a number of lodging options, from camper cabins in Colter Bay and historic cottages at Jenny Lake Lodge to a full-service resort at Jackson Lake Lodge and an honest-to-goodness dude ranch, the Triangle X, which is the only lodging open in the park in the wintertime! No matter where you choose to stay while on vacation in Jackson Hole, the Teton Range watches over you. So any choice is the right choice.
