Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very friendly and knowledgable about things to do in Jackson.
Parking was easy, getting to the room was very easy, the bed was very nice, the shower tub combo was amazing. Great stay all around if you want to be close to the Elk Refuge and Grand Tetons!
Front desk people were so helpful and nice. Parking was easy, the room was wonderful, absolutely loved the layout. It was very clean, loved the location. It was quiet, lots of animal sightings, yet so close to town.

Clean room, helpful staff, easy checkin process. Will stay again.
This is a great property not far from town. We stayed in town and here and this was our favorite. It's across from the Elk reserve and you have a great nature view. It's simple, private, and spacious. Great balance of value, location, and comfort.
The view of the elk refuge is great. Bring binoculars - they like to stay out in the middle. The inn is close to downtown without being in the middle of everything. We will be back.
Really nice place that was super conveniently located to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. We had a great stay and Andrea provided really great service and was just super nice. My wife and I commented several times that it really felt like we were staying in a friend's guest house, as everything was so inviting. Free laundry was a real bonus for us after having spent 5 nights on the road. We had an upstairs room with a balcony - it was a large room with a good kitchenette. Highly recommend!
