Lake View


When you spend your days outdoors exploring Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, and sightseeing around Jackson Hole, you want to return to a comfortable hotel where you can feel in harmony with your surroundings. Jackson Lake Lodge, located within the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park has some stunning views of the mountains and the Snake river, as well as all facilities you need for a comfortable stay.

The Lodge was built in 1955 for the comfort of visitors to the National Parks, and has been designated a National Historic Landmark. The 385-room eco-hotel continues the Western tradition of hospitality and comes with all modern services and amenities, onsite activities and dining options. Guests have the option to stay in luxurious suites, the main lodge hotel rooms, or quiet cottages. 

One of the best things about staying at the Lodge, along with the views, is that you can take guided tours of the National Parks, narrated by naturalists who know the the region and its flora and fauna. You’ll run out of time before you run out of things to do, which include horseback trail rides, rafting on the Snake River, hiking, fishing, cruising, kayaking, canoeing, and golf. 

You have a range of dining options at the Lodge, from fine dining at the famous Mural Room to informal meals with classic American food at the Pioneer Grill and Heron Lounge. Enjoy spectacular views of the meadows and mountains, and glimpses of wildlife during meals. Guests have sighted moose, elk, and even a mama black bear with two cubs from the Heron Lounge.

The Lodge also hosts a number of complimentary events such as presentations where wildlife experts acquaint you with fascinating creatures as raptors, grizzly bears and mountain lions. The Lodge houses a notable exhibit of Native American and Western arts. There are shopping facilities as well, with a newsstand, gift shop and a boutique and clothing store

Reviews of Jackson Lake Lodge

Fabulous experience

Travel Date: November 30, 2023

We had a fabulous time celebrating my 60th birthday. Holly and the front office staff made our stay very memorable. The room was very nice and we enjoyed the view. We saw some wildlife from our balcony. The restaurants and staff were great as well.


A disappointment

Travel Date: July 31, 2024

The lodge is huge. The main building is massive with spectacular views of the mountains and lakes. However, when we were there it was overcrowded, especially in the eating areas, and this detracted from the experience. The lodgings are spread out. Our room, and by all accounts some other guests...

Beautifl cottage located in the heart of the Park! Stay here!

Travel Date: August 31, 2024

Lovely cottage within walking distance to Main Lodge and driving distance to entire Park. We appreciate the full refrigerator so we could make our own lunches. THis is a spectacular National Park -so easy to see everything from this cottage!


An Expensive and Totally Disappointing Experience

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

On the way to Yellowstone, we stayed one night at Jackson Lake Lodge in one of the 'cabins' a short distance from the main building. These duplex cabins are rustic at best, and look like something out of the 1950's, some buildings in worse condition than others. Open the door...

Amazing place, hope to return!

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

All around wonderful experience. One of the most beautiful settings ever. Plus great restaurants! Particularly enjoyed watching the sunset from the Mural Room while enjoying a delicious dinner. Terrace has fabulous views too and convenient to all Grand Teton activities.


Not worth the cost.

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

A spectacular setting with stunning views of the Tetons — from the lodge. Most of the rooms are in single story buildings downhill from the lodge with no view of anything. We were here with a tour group, but there is no way I would pay the listed prices to...

Great employees but overrated

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

Had high hopes for our trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Employees were great but there were too many issues to rate highly. We stayed in a classic cottage. It was quiet. However, thermostat is out-of-date with no temp settings - just off to high, no microwave available in room...

Hasn't Aged Well

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

Although the location is magnificent with sweeping views of the Tetons, this circa 1950s property is in horrendous condition. Peeling paint, stained carpeting and cushions, poor quality, mismatched and worn out furniture are only a few of the deficiencies that we observed during our stay. For a property that charges...

Pricey for dated room and STELLAR view; excellent float raft trip down the Snake River

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

We had a Mountain View Cottage room, which is basically a hotel room on the second floor of a 2-story building with 8-10 rooms. Size was great, view straight on to the Grand Tetons was spectacular. Balcony with 2 adirondak chairs just fine. Furnishings dated but clean. Small fridge and...

Greatly enjoyed the Tetons!

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

Really enjoyed our stay in a cottage here. We could hear people in the adjacent room in the day and evening but it was very quiet at night. Nights were cool when we stayed so lack of AC was not a problem. There was an overhead fan and a tower...

No air conditioning or proper ventilation

Travel Date: September 30, 2024

There is no air conditioning. It is quite expensive to stay here and it is 80 degrees in our hotel room. There is one window that opens (behind a curtain) for ventilation. The room comes with a standing fan so obviously the hotel is aware of this problem. We booked...

Would return

Travel Date: August 31, 2024

Rooms are old and small but clean. Bed was quite comfortable. Keurig coffee maker with Lavazza coffee was a nice touch. No TV but did offer Wifi. Highly recommend the fine dining restaurant. My trout and my wife's steak were both excellent. Great service. Was sad to leave
