This Inn is a great place to stay! The people were all very friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and neat. The Inn is just a few miles from Jackson, Wy. The hotel rates are very reasonable for the area. I highly recommend this Inn for anyone to stay there! Beautiful and scenic area!
The king apartment was huge and very relaxing. Staff was friendly, helpful and gave great advice. Being on the edge of town made it easier to access with the crazy Jackson traffic.
We loved our stay at Elk Refuge Inn, just outside Jackson, super convenient but still quiet. The room was spotless and well stocked with a Keurig, mini fridge, microwave, plus shampoo, conditioner, lotion and even a hairdryer. The views were fantastic and having a gas station and convenience store just a short walk away was really handy. We also loved the free bike rentals, such a nice touch, and the guest laundry made the trip easy. We’d absolutely stay here again.
We had a very nice stay! Our room was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the extra conveniences like laundry facilities and ice.
The location was great—just outside of town on the road to and from the park. It was very convenient for our days in the park, and we were able to avoid some of the traffic that backs up going into Jackson. Being on that side of town also put us closer to the airport, which was a plus.
A special shout-out to Patti at the front desk—she is an absolute gem! So friendly, welcoming, helpful, and genuinely interested in making sure guests have a great stay. She definitely added to our experience.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again!
Excellent location to access GT and Jackson, helpful and pleasant staff, clean room and free laundry. We will come back for sure when visiting the area next time.
Our stay was lovely. The view is definitely the selling point, and rightfully so. We enjoyed that the property was a few minutes outside of town as we like our peace and quiet. The room was very cute and we enjoyed stepping outside and seeing the mountains. We loved the available laundry and easy check in/out process.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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!
Great location near park, elk refuge and town of Jackson. Hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Free laundry and detergents a very nice touch. Small kitchen allowed for meals in rather than high cost of restaurants in town. Would definitely stay here again.
The location a bit outside Jackson on the road to Grand Teton Park is ideal. The room with plenty of room and a small kitchen area was useful, comfortable and has a great view overlooking the Elk Refuge area and Sleeping Indian mountain. I have stayed at the Elk Refuge Inn a number of time before appreciated the efficiency of the management, the quality of the rooms and the housekeeping staff, and the view.
Staff was excellent, very helpful and nice! A/c was fantastic! View was incredible:) We only stated one night so we would be closer to the airport and it worked out great. A very nice, small motel with lovely owners. Everything was very clean and they had a washer and dryer that was free and brand new.
