The hype
Guests universally adore the location and the rooftop spa, but value-for-money scores dip due to worn room details and noise.
Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa
$450-950/ night
Book this if You want the quintessential Jackson Hole experience—ski-in access, bison steaks, and a rooftop hot tub that fits your entire extended family.
Why People Love It
- The 24-person rooftop hot tub with direct views of the Tetons
- Spur Restaurant & Bar is a legitimate local hotspot, not just a 'hotel restaurant'
- Prime location in Teton Village, walking distance to the Tram and Gondola
Quick Take: A high-end alpine lodge that nails the vibe but charges a premium for 'rustic' charm that occasionally includes thin walls and loud heaters.
Reviewed by @camillacattaneo_: My husband and I escaped to Jackson Hole for the ultimate winter romance. Teton Mountain Lodge was perfect—we spent hours in that rooftop hot tub watching the snow fall. The cozy fireplace vibes and easy access to the slopes made this our favorite trip ever.

Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5

- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but isolated reports of 'hair everywhere' and leaking fixtures in 2024 reviews.
- Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible. Complaints about 'torn curtains,' 'sagging mattresses,' and 'peeling paint' suggest a refresh is due in some rooms.
- Linens & towels: Standard luxury quality, usually crisp, though some guests found pillows 'flat' and unsupportive.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh. No major complaints about mustiness, which is a good sign for an older lodge.

Rooms to avoid

- Rooms overlooking the parking lot or HVAC units on the roof
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a room on a high floor facing the mountains, specifically avoiding the Alpine Studio layout. Quiet is a priority, so away from the elevator and ice machine if possible.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is parking free?
Officially no. Valet is ~$45/night. Some guests report finding free self-parking in the 'Ranch Lot' nearby, but don't count on it during peak ski season.
Is it ski-in/ski-out?
Ideally, yes. It's 'ski-in' via a groomed path, but you'll have a short walk (about 3-5 minutes) to the lifts/tram in the morning.
Does the hotel have a pool?
Yes, both indoor and outdoor heated pools, plus five hot tubs total (including the famous rooftop one).
Are pets allowed?
Yes, dogs only. The fee is ~$50 per dog, per night. Two dog maximum.
Is breakfast included?
No. Breakfast at Spur Restaurant is excellent but costs extra ($10-$40 per person).
What is the 'Alpine Studio'?
It's the entry-level room, often featuring a Murphy bed instead of a standard bed. Read the description carefully before booking.
