Several places provide concessioner lodging inside Grand Teton National Park. As in most national parks, none of the lodge rooms contains TVs, radios, or air conditioning. Some rooms contain phones, and Wi-Fi access is available in the lobby of Jackson Lake Lodge.

Reserve at least nine months ahead to be sure of getting a room in the peak summer season. Dozens of additional accommodations are south of the park in Jackson.

Grand Teton Lodge Company (owned by Vail Resorts Hospitality, www.gtlc.com) is the primary park concessioner, managing Jackson Lake Lodge, Jenny Lake Lodge, Colter Bay Village, and a variety of park services.

Grand Teton Lodge Company operates a free shuttle bus to Jackson from the park. It runs twice daily in the summer, stopping at Jackson Lake Lodge, Jenny Lake Lodge, Colter Bay Village, and downtown Jackson. The shuttle is only for guests staying at company lodges in Grand Teton.

This is a marvelous honeymoon or big-splurge place, and the $515 s or $599 d price includes horseback rides, bikes, breakfast, and a five-course dinner. (Note, however, that the meals are served only at specific times, so you’ll need to adjust your schedule accordingly.) For the ultimate in extravagance, choose the lodge’s luxurious suites ($775-850 d).

Jackson Lake

Built on a grand scale, the 385-room Jackson Lake Lodge (307/543-3100 or 800/628-9988, www.gtlc.com, late May-early Oct.) occupies a bluff above Willow Flats on the southeast side of Jackson Lake.

Kelly Area

For rustic accommodations with an unbeatable Teton view from the front deck, stay at Anne Kent Cabins (307/733-4773, www.annekentcabins.com, June-Sept.) in the quiet village of Kelly a dozen miles northeast of Jackson. These cabins are perfect for those who want a real taste of Wyoming from a family with a long local history. Two rental options are available. Your best bet is to request the very comfortable log house, which has bedrooms in the loft and basement, two baths, a complete kitchen, washer, and dryer (but no phone). Wi-Fi may be available. The home sleeps a maximum of 12 adults and kids for $250 (plus $25 per person for more than four guests). Next door are two cabins that rent together and sleep five guests for $200. The front one (built in 1939) includes a bedroom and kitchen, while the back cabin contains a second bedroom plus bath. The Anne Kent Cabins feature handmade lodgepole furniture created by co-owner Ron Davler, who crafts them at the adjacent Jackson Hole Log and Rawhide Furniture.

Moulton Ranch on Historic Mormon Row (307/733-3749, www.moultonranchcabins.com, late May-Sept.) rents several cabins in one of Jackson Hole’s most majestic locations. This is the only private property on Mormon Row inside Grand Teton National Park, and the much-photographed Moulton Barn—one of the prototypical Wyoming images—is just a few hundred feet away. The five cabins are cozy and not at all elaborate, but where else might you awake to a spectacular Teton vista with bison grazing outside your window? Rates start at $89 d for a tiny cottage with a separate bathhouse, up to $229 for a modern cabin with space for six. The latter is especially popular and features a kitchenette, deck, and picture window facing the Tetons. No phones (your cell phone will probably work), but Wi-Fi is available in some cabins.

Budges’ Slide Lake Cabins (307/733-9061, www.jacksonholecabins.com, open year-round) are four secluded but modern cabins along Slide Lake, six miles east of Kelly.

A small cabin in nearby Kelly sleeps two for $100, including a kitchen and bath, but no TV or phone. Also available is a comfortable three-bedroom, two-bath log home in Kelly with mountain vistas ($250 for up to six guests).
