Wonderful to be out of town but yet just a few miles away. Parking lots are just dirt, so staying there during wet times can be a problem. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Across the street from the Elk Refuge makes for a wonderful viewing experience. I would stay here again.

The Elk Refuge Inn was warm, inviting, and very comfortable. It is conveniently located near downtown Jackson Hole. Most importantly for us, however, was the proximity to the Elk Refuge. Our balcony looked out over the preserve, and we were able to watch the elk and coyotes roam the preserve. It was absolutely amazing!

Relaxing and great view!

We love staying here when we come for our daughter’s ski races. It has a kitchenette and dinning area that we enjoy. We love that we can park so close to the front door so unloading is a breeze! The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I am very picky about my bed and pillow, so this is an extra plus!
