Planning on driving to see family in Montana in late June and want to stop to see Grand Teton NP for a few days on the way up. Looking at AirBNBs in Jackson but are there any other cool places to stay in or near the park?

We stayed on the Idaho side at a really nice Airbnb. It's cheaper and you get a wonderful view of the Tetons. It's only about a 30 minute drive to Jackson Hole.

Jackson Lake Lodge is pretty awesome.

We did the same thing. Driggs, Idaho. It's a ski town, so lots of cheap places in the summer

If you want a B&B, there are quite a few in Victor, Idaho.
We stayed at the Fin & Feather Inn and it was wonderful.

Victor is about 45 min from Jackson Hole & it is a beautiful drive over the mountains.
We saw a bull moose on the side of the road eating weeds by the guardrail.... pretty awesome!

Dornans is right at the southern entrance to the park. Cabins are fully done up so stop at JH on the way, stock up on food and drinks and relax.

The cabin view as the sun rises hitting the Church Pew is nice. A hot cup of coffee, a bunch of chipmunks popping their heads up, a fox skulking through the grass trying the catch a chipmunk is heaven on earth.

And the wine selection at the liquor store is amazing. They have a sommelier on site and the largest selection of french wines in the state. They claim west of the Mississippi.

We did dornans in 2019. Loved it.

Great location and the cabins were nice. I have too many kids so never ate there.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I was able to find a cabin on AirBnb 15 minutes south of Jackson for $350/night which I thought wasn't too bad for two bedrooms and a full kitchen.

I've just started doing some research on Jackson and Grand Teton but for those of you that have been there, what would you most recommend as far as things to do, hikes, places to eat, etc? We'll have our 8 and 11 year old daughters with us. Thanks.

Awesome pics!

God's creation out there is so beautiful, you point the camera anywhere and click, you've got a masterpiece.

Loved the Tetons.

Jackson Lake Lodge would be just north of the tetons with an exceptional view and good access to Yellowstone.

If I was just going to enjoy GTNP then I would choose to stay at an air bnb near Jackson. We have stayed on Moose Wilson Rd in some condos near Teton Village and that has always been easy.

Really, you cannot go wrong. I believe that my next trip will have us staying in Victor, ID and driving the Teton pass.

Take the time to eat at Dornan's.

We didnt want to stay in Jackson so found a place a little ways out and spent a couple nights here:
Welcome to our Jackson Hole cabins on Slide Lake - Budges' Slide Lake Cabins
The lake setting is beautiful, very quiet, other cabins are not on top of each other. Nice campfires at night. We went here last week of September 2023 and saw moose along the Gross Ventre River every time we drove to the cabin. Cabins are about 30 minutes to Jackson and 30 minutes to the main Teton entrance at Moose.

Thanks! Seeing some Moose is definitely high up on the list for my wife!

Right at the Snake River crossing on the Teton Pass Highway and Moose Wilson Rd. we have seen a few pair on each of our trips there depending on the time of day.

Further north on Moose Wilson Rd, we saw a mom with twins and lots of elk in early August.

Schwabacher landing north of the airport is good for a cow.calf pair every now and then early in the day.

On the last trip there just south of the Gros Ventre traffic circle near the airport,we saw an old moose the entire time we were there. Usually on the southwest corner of the circle, but other times it was on the south east corner.

We haven't finalized our next trip, but I want to hike near Two Oceans and see some more grizzlies.

The town is called Moose for a reason.

Every moose I have ever seen has been within 3 miles of Moose. At the river, in the Rockefeller Preserve, or in the park on the road by a creek/wetland.

This was a great place to stay:

This was right around the corner from Dornan's at the overlook.

To avoid some of the crowds, park at String Lake Trailhead and hike south along NW quadrant of Jenny Lake to Inspiration Point, littler over 5 miles roundtrip...can also take horse trail back down to change it up and avoid crowds. Full 1/2 day.
Pickup breakfast and picnic lunch at Creekside Market in Jackson, we thought sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch better than Dormans and so do the local law enforcement!

My kids loved jumping off the rock at Phelps lake. Get there early as the parking lot is tiny. Might be really cold in June though.

My pictures look just like that. Couldn't figure out how to post them though.

Grand Teton Lodge Company is hard to beat for wildlife and view, but that is everywhere there.
Jenny Lake hiking was awesome, did a very low level rafting trip on the snake river and view was great the whole way. Drove into Yellowstone, which was nice, but I think that should have been a separate trip.
We also stayed a night at Heart Six Ranch and had a great time. Did a horse ride, watched the stampede of horses at night and in the morning as they bring them in and out for the day.

Recommend Jackson Lake Lodge.
