Hotels, Cabins & More
So many options! Where to start? The first question to ask yourself is: The Town of Jackson or Teton Village? When staying in town you have free access to the START Bus Town Shuttle, running every half hour, to move you around town. Grand Teton National Park is just 5 miles north of Town. For the folks that prefer Teton Village you have the convenience of waking up slope side, which is great for winter skiers or for families that want a bit of a quieter experience than town. In Teton Village there are activities right out of your front door like mountain biking, hiking, tram rides, and, for the more adventurous type, paragliding.
A good place to start would be with the folks at Outpost Jackson Hole. They manage quite a few properties in the Greater Jackson and Teton Village area. If you are looking for that one bedroom condo or a well equipped home in the woods for your family reunion, these folks might have the spot for you. These folks know this area well and are always happy to share their insider’s knowledge. 307-690-4790
Town Of Jackson
A really great choice would be the sustainably run Alpine House. This location is walking distance to the Town Square, but off of the main drag. They provide a great cooked breakfast that many past guests rave about! Hot drinks and pastries are available all day. Nothing is better than spending a day in the mountains and coming home to their wet sauna to recharge in their European Styled quaint lodge. Two long-time locals, who are both past Olympians, run this fine establishment! If you get a chance, ask Hans about some of his incredible mountaineering feats!
