Your Winter Inn Advantage
Why downtown beats the ski village every time
While staying at the ski village is convenient for skiing, being in town offers so much more when you’re not on the slopes. All the restaurants, art galleries, and cultural experiences are here in downtown Jackson, creating a richer winter experience. Plus, with public transit and our shuttle vouchers, you get ski convenience without sacrificing the vibrant town atmosphere that makes Jackson Hole special.
Return each evening to your cozy inn retreat where electric fireplaces, jacuzzis, and the peaceful sounds of Flat Creek create the perfect ending to magical winter days. Whether you’re a serious skier or someone who simply wants to experience winter’s beauty, our inn provides that ideal balance of adventure access and peaceful comfort.
