Jenni Lake Lodge was our last step on a long trip to see different national parks. It did not disappoint. The dinners were amazing. And sitting in the lobby with the fireplace going after a long day could not have been more relaxing. read more

At $1000 USD a night, we are expecting this to be the highlight of our trip. We were given the Yarrow cabin; this double bed cabin was nicely arranged with comfortable mattress, top of the line sheets and all the bathroom amenities you need. The cabin also has a wet bar with cafe machine, well stocked with capsule coffee, hot chocolate and tea. The room itself is within the forest and well shaded. Coming from Hawaii, it is cold for us at its summer nights when the temperature gets into the 50's. But heater is available in the room. The surround forest is beautiful and tranquil. On our daily short walks to the dining room, we were awarded with the fragrant fresh pine tree forest smell, the beautiful view of the Grand Teton Mountain range, and a well designed delicious 5-course meal. The booking includes free breakfast and free dinner. It also includes horse riding around the Jenny lake, free use of the well maintained beach cruisers. The cabin we are in has a wall that is shared by a neighbor. But there are more expensive individuel cabins that are not shared. The location is ideal as it is a short bike ride to the Jenny Lake Visiter Center, it also offers the best wide and well maintained bike route, separate from cars. It is also close the famous hike to Inspiration Point and many more trails. In the end, this was the highlight of our trip. Very expensive, but it you can afford it, go for it! read more

I absolutely love the Jenny Lake Lodge! Right at the base of the Grand Tetons, with many lake trail heads on property! I love how fancy it is, but in a very laid back way. The 5 course dinner is one of the many reasons why we keep coming back every year! And the staff is amazing! read more

Jenny Lake Lodge - Deer by our cabin, it was totally unbothered by us! - Resorts Near Me - Moose, Wyoming

Jenny Lake Lodge has been on our bucket list for a while. We had to cancel our trip during the pandemic, but were thrilled to rebook it for this year. It thoroughly lived up to expectations. The location is great for hiking and biking around the lake. It is serene and quiet, set away from the hustle and bustle of the Jenny Lake Visitor Center. The most accessible hiking paths also generally avoid the areas frequented by the crowds at the visitor center, while still letting you access the same areas. The cabin was rustic but very well appointed. It was cold outside at night and the electric heater worked great. The beds were comfy. Housekeeping was excellent and made sure we were fully stocked with everything we needed for our family of four. We didn't ride horses, but they had rides for ages 8+ that were readily available to book during our 3-day stay, if you booked when you first arrived. We were there in late August -- so maybe it helped that it wasn't peak summer. They tended to be 1.5 to 2 hour rides with limited timing choices, so it just didn't work with our schedule -- but if you really wanted to go, it was available. Dining was amazing! Yes, the rooms are pricy, but they include a first class breakfast and dinner with each night. If you are a foodie, this is the place to stay in the park -- no question! We had one adventurous child who thoroughly enjoyed the adult menu, and one more cautious one who was plenty satisfied with offerings from the kids' menu. No one left hungry. The servers were flexible, and you could even mix and match a little if the youngers ones wanting to try one or two items from the adult menu. The meals (breakfast and dinner) are included with your stay, but you should be aware that gratuity is not (and is substantial for the value of the meals provided) -- just be sure that's part of your budget. We would definitely consider returning in a future year, and in fact we saw many other travelers in the dining room who appear to make this an annual tradition. I can absolutely see why! read more

Jenny Lake lodge is one of a kind. I had no idea what to expect when we signed up for this girls trip adventure in the mountains, but Jenny Lake lodge was probably the best part. It's rustic and historic in the middle of the woods. If you're looking for Hilton don't stay here. It was exactly what we wanted. Our side by side 100+yr old log cabins in the woods had so much character. Be prepared to rough it a bit. This is an experience like none other. There's no phones, no TVs, no cell service. Sit back and relax. Forget about all that city stuff. You're here to let go. Enjoy the rocking chairs on the patio after a long day hiking. Put your feet up by the fireplace in the lodge. The main lodge has a meeting room and a dining room, (see my separate review of the dining experience). There's something to do at the lodge most days/nights. We played games a couple nights, sat in on a historical exhibit of the area that was entertaining and informative one night. They had a beer tasting event one if the nights. There are bikes for the guests to use around the area. And you're within walking distance to the Jenny Lake trails to hike around the lake. You're in the woods, roughing it, and we loved every minute of it. Highly recommend Jenny Lake Lodge. We would definitely go back. read more

Spent 2 days st Jenny Lake in Sep 2018. This lodge gets great reviews and they are fully deserved!! My husband and I stopped here after Yellowstone and it was excellent. The staff, the private cabin, horse back riding, hiking, Boat ride over lake, and most of all the excellent dining. The 7 course meal was superb and breakfast was excellent too. Worth every penny. Will definitely return! read more

Our experience here was definitely 5+ stars. Located in the Grand Teton National Park, the lodge contains the main lobby, small gift shop and dining room. Huckleberry lemonade is given to you at checkin. All accommodations are in one of 37 individual and duplex log cabins with each cabin having a name of a local flower. We stayed in the Harebell cabin which was a single cabin with a king bed (My wife was not amused with me calling it the Hairball Cabin). Quiet and serene setting. Stunning views of Grand Teton mountains everywhere on the property, just look up. Included in the price is a 2 hour guided horseback guided ride, you just need to sign up in advance. It fills up quickly. The ride is in open areas and along a rocky narrow trail but our horses, Idaho and Paintbrush were sure footed. A bicycle corral contains many bicycles to choose from and to keep at your cabin during your stay. Walking sticks provided in room and some of the best hiking trails in the Tetons are accessible directly from the lodge. GM reception on your first night providing wine and champagne. But don't fill up as a 5 course meal is waiting for you at the lodge dining room - another 5 star experience. Pricing is $$$ but includes breakfast and dinner - order as much as you want. See separate reviews for Jenny Lake Lodge Dining Room. It is best to book 8 - 10 months in advance as they run at full capacity. read more

We have been here several times and always find it to be a very pleasant experience. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help when asked. The menu in the dinning room is varied and we always like to try something different each time. If you are nearby at any time give them a try. read more

Located inside the national park, the lodge is a romantic, cozy nest and a real pleasure to call "home" as a temporary bivouac between sorties into and out of the park's many wonders. We used it to access the Lupine Meadows Trailhead and Mount Moran.(http://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/jlth.htm) They serve a complimentary breakfast and a manager's reception, have a restaurant (with hot coffee!) and comfy guestrooms with free wi-fi, refrigerator and other amenities. This sure beats the hell out of roughing it with a backpack and tent. Yellowstone has a million things to see and do. Mountains, rivers and lakes teem with more animals milling around than you can shake a stick at (whatever the hell that means). There are recreational opportunities a-plenty http://www.expedia.com/Yellowstone-National-Park-Hotels-Jenny-Lake-Lodge.h1159276.Hotel-Information?gclid=CMyimpSmpbcCFSjZQgod5FcAZQ&semcid=13172-1&rm1=a2&kword=%20Jenny_%20Lake_%20Lodge!m.ZzZz.3350000987742.0.19585868192.%20jenny%20%20lake%20%20lodge.%20jenny_%20lake_%20lodge&# Though a bit on the pricey side, it pays off in spades when you awake in your own soft bed with clean, fluffy pillows rather than waking on a hard-packed dirt trail in a mummy-sack with mosquitos buzzing all around and no coffee till you build the fire! read more

We had lunch in its restaurant on the last day of the trip. It required wearing a tie for dinner. So it gained a snooty reputation. But lunch seemed to be casual; at least, I was in jeans. The menu had a lot of good choice and at the best price we've ever seen. $10~11 for an entrée including soup or salad. Cant' beat it. I ordered the trout with carrot soup. Both were SO delicious and worthy the price printed. Always wonder whether the price was right but the check eventually confirmed it. And the window seats had a great view of the mountain and glacier. The service was performed by exchange students but still professional and attentive. Glad to try here and had the best meal to conclude our trip! read more

We've stayed here 4 separate occasions. I don't think we'll return. The food is decent, staff are kids working for summer. During one visit, a family sang outside our cabin at 11 PM one night, then 9 pm the next night.. they boasted they were return visitors each year--I guess they feel entitled to keep other guests awake for this reason.. There have been other issues, all of which are not that bad. However, just know you'll be paying upwards of $1000 nightly after tax if you want a cabin. There are so many other, better places to stay in the area, but I hesitate to share them on YELP because families like the ones singing at 11 PM , above, will visit other places and ruin them. You must make dinner reservations and that often disrupted our day. We were often hiking far up into the mountains and had to return so we'd not miss dinner. I think the best thing about staying here was engaging the staff regarding "secret" hikes and unmarked trails. They were a wealth of information. We always tipped generously (50% minimum nightly) and I believe we were treated extremely well because of this. So I would strongly suggest tipping well and understanding the kids here are hardly paid any wages (but they get to hike and enjoy the area during off-days). The reason we'd not return is because we've encountered more obnoxious guests, largely from overseas, U.S. coasts (we asked the staff and they agreed with our assessment and commented they were New Yorkers or Californians, etc). In any case, we grew tired of the scheduled dinners. It was a privilege to stay here and I pray they never change the place. It can be expensive at nearly $1000 nightly after taxes, but this includes your meals, amazing location/views, and cabins are spotless. We never stayed in a duplex and would never do so at this place.. we always reserved a private cabin. I was told by the staff the duplexes share a wall, and guests can literally hear everything, so I'd recommend a family with kids to stay in the duplex, and that they rent out both sides. I also tired of having to pack a suit and tie/nice shoes for the dinners, which is another reason we don't stay here any longer. Dinner is NOT stuffy, but it's an occasion for which you should celebrate and dress accordingly, at least Dockers or slacks. We were stunned when a couple wore shorts and flip-flops to dinner one night... the staff asked them to change and that offended them as guests. I was told they dined in their room per manager's request. if you don't understand the attire, or that wearing shorts and sandals to dinner here is inappropriate, then I'd say this is not the place for you. I would say this is an old fashioned place where many repeat visitors cherish their memories here, and they enjoy dressing nicely. And that's a great thing. After our last visit, and the singing nightly, among other things we saw the guests doing (kids--in front of their parents--spitting water at the onsite horses, throwing tennis balls against a cabin while same parents sat on porch), we won't return. We really used to love the place but the clientele has drastically changed for the worse... at least some of them around us... have no business staying here.. they'd be better off at a ritz Carlton (back home) or the four seasons in Jackson. Really obnoxious,and just downright Ugly Americans. It's really been bad our last few visits and I suspect this is because the park is far more popular today than ever before. read more

We stayed here 2 nights and are a family of 3. First, the location of this place is amazing with direct views of the magnificent Tetons. Cabins are decent, nothing to be excited about or disappointed but we just happened to get one right behind the restaurant so we saw all the employees walking to and from the dining room etc. we had to walk to the front of the restaurant to have unobstructed views of the Tetons. Wouldn't want Hollyhock cabin again. Loved the bikes that they provided for the stay. Luckily we did get a reservation on the horses one day but at check in there were no guarantees. Also, wasn't thrilled when checking in and they said our dinner time for both nights would be 8:00. I had called weeks earlier and was assured they could change them to 6:30 but they never followed up with confirmation like promised. Food wasn't good. First nights it was a nice change to have a 5 course meal but the choices were so out there that a lot wasn't liked. I was aware they change their menu daily so was able to talk my husband and son into another night but once again fancy but unimpressed with flavor and menu. Breakfast was decent but wish they'd change the menu for that daily like they do their dinners. If we had stayed any longer we would have eaten elsewhere. Part of the high price of staying here was for the all inclusive which wasn't worth it to us. As pretty as Tetons are and this lodge is situated perfectly to view them we wouldn't stay here again. They also need kayaks and stand up paddle boards for their guests. Not much to do for this price. read more

Formal dining in a log cabin, albeit a spacious and beautifully decorated log cabin. Excellent food, premium quality ingredients are thrown in freely for your enjoyment. Breakfast is buffet style with service; you order whatever and however much you'd like from a menu, the food is freshly prepared and brought to your table. Lunch: order off a menu. Dinner: prix fixe. Services are definitely on the formal side, no details are spared. The staff that interacted with us are experienced professionals. Note -- reservation required for all meals. read more

Stopped for drinks. Fabulous setting in Grand Teton Park. Beautiful log cabin. Quiet and stately. We need to come back here for dinner.

One of the most amazing spots we have stayed at, and this is comparing this spot to places around the work we have been to. Gorgeous and breath taking location and you can't beat the activities they offer. The food. Just spectacular. Dinner amazing! And breakfast in the morning out of this world. Bocce ball and limoncello in the afternoons? Just one amazing family experience here and we look forward to returning. read more

We had such an amazing time here. The staff really stepped up to accommodate us as we were only family with a toddler ( this was an unplanned visit and I had no idea it really is best for couples or for older kids). Just overall a really pleasant and relaxing stay. Dinner was excellent, cruiser bikes available at all times was so fun, horse stable and riding was awesome. Rooms were very comfy and it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy sunset and sunrise on the patios with no background noise was excellent. read more

We just spent a long weekend here, the last of September, beginning of October. Perfection in every way! We stayed in a Danny cabin with the grassy lawn in front. Breakfast, lunch and horseback riding were included. The food was delicious, our stay was very memorable. The leaves were all full of color, the air was cool. Plenty of excellent hikes. Believe it or not, the trail ride with the lodge's horses loosened up our hips and made us feel limber and good. read more

We enjoyed our stay here at Jenny Lake Lodge at the end of August. It is rustic so if this isn't your jam- they you may want to try another spot. We loved it. The service was excellent. It was peaceful and serene. I am disabled and have a hard time walking, so I couldn't use the bikes or the hiking trails and admittedly I was jealous of everyone who could. I was able to go horseback riding and I cried with the freedom of getting out into nature and seeing things that I just couldn't see any other way. The girls Ali and Kiki had to help me off the horse as my legs went numb, but they were compassionate and carrying. I loved them both for giving me a memory I will never forget, and probably never get to do again. It meant more to me than they even know. I am tearing up just writing this review because it meant so much to me. I love horses, the great outdoors and getting old sucks! Thank you so so much for an amazing stay and an amazing experience. read more

Two friends and I were excited to head to Jenny Lake Lodge for a recent Sunday brunch. We know the beautiful setting of the lodge and decided to road bike from Jackson (about 50 miles round trip) for a great halfway stop. However, we were sorely disappointed at the service we received when we arrived-- I would certainly NOT recommend the lodge after our experience. We called a few days in advance and made a reservation for 1:30. The person who took our reservation assured us that we likely didn't even need a reservation though it might be helpful to have one. We were flexible as to timing and just needed enough time to bike there, and he assured us that 1:30 was a great time (and we asked if we'd still be able to have brunch). However, when we arrived 12 minutes late, we were rudely scolded for being "very, very late" by the host and were told the kitchen was closed and that we would be unable to eat. They were unable to answer me when I asked how there could be a reservation scheduled for the exact minute when the kitchen closes? How could anyone order in time? That obviously makes no sense to me, and it should not have made sense to the managers at the Jenny Lake Lodge. There was no effort to call us once a manager noticed the ill-timed reservation, and we therefore planned a 50-mile bike ride around our meal. Now, having worked in numerous restaurants myself, I do understand that the kitchen does shift over to dinner prep at a certain time, but given that the mistake was the fault of the restaurant in making a reservation at the wrong time, we felt as though they could have--and should have--been accommodating to us. There will still people seated in the dining room who had not yet received their food. We pressed them to ask the kitchen and were told we could maybe be offered some granola....not what we'd had in mind, especially after road biking 25 miles while looking forward to eggs benedict. We are three Jackson locals who will definitely not be patronizing Jenny Lake Lodge again, nor will any of our friends after this experience. What a disappointing ending to what was otherwise a lovely Jackson summer day. read more

According to the guidebook, presidents have dined here. It's a bit off the beaten path, almost smack dab in the middle of the Grand Tetons, but it's well worth the visit. We only had lunch, but it was a very nice lunch. The smoked salmon sandwich was spectacular. The setting is unparalleled, with rocking chairs outside the restaurant with a great view of the Cathedral Group. Dinner is supposed to be even better, but we did not have the chance to try that out - a jacket is recommended for dinner. We would LOVE to go back, either to stay in the lodge and/or grab dinner there. read more

I give it a solid Meh. First the good parts: it's beautiful, the staff was friendly and prompt and the service was good. Now the bad: the food was only barely ok. The seared trout was two little pieces of filet that looked like they were stuck under a broiler, couscous was flavorless. Wife got a veggie wrap that was not edible ( mother-in-law tried it with the same opinion). Buffalo burger was pretty good. But for the white table cloth treatment and the $$$, you expect more. Not a bad place, but could have spent less money and gotten just as good food at a grill. read more

Just stopped in for lunch. I wasn't expecting much in the way of service or food from a place in a national park, but I was in for a treat. The servers were very professional. They treated me like an esteemed guest even though I was wearing boots, shorts and a dirty under armor shirt! The food was very good, my wife and I both had pan fried trout, fresh rom the snake river. The meal started with a zesty watermelon- cucumber- ginger gazpacho. They have some creative items on their menu, obviously there is a real chef in the kitchen. The total ticket was only $28. Great value! read more

Nice classy atmosphere combined with low prices? The food is really high-standard quality and the service impeccable! I had the trout that was absolutely great and my husband the chicken entree, equally awesome. Salads were fresh and delicious. However, I found their gazpacho nearly inedible and this is why I restrain from adding the fifth star. Overall the quality of the place and food makes it really hard to believe these prices. And the view from the front porch is outstanding. If you are in the area you should eat there at least once. read more

I'm writing to assert Tina D's review on 8/17/2015. As one of the friends who experienced this serious let down, I too will not patronize the Jenny Lake Lodge in the future. Being falsely advised as to an ideal reservation time is at the core of our being turned away. What made the experience even more unpleasant was the way we were treated. Upon entrance, I was rudely told that we were VERY LATE. Having ridden our bikes 25 miles, I was not aware of the exact time. His tone led me to believe we must have been 40 minutes late at least...alas, we were a mere 15 minutes delayed. A poorly recommended and booked reservation time coupled with rudeness is an absolute shame. I had previously spread praise for this beautiful and historical lodge. No longer. read more

This is a really great place if you want to get close to the mountains but get the deluxe treatment. When I first heard the price of $500/night, I was shocked because I thought we were just getting a cabin. When I heard that we also got a gourmet breakfast and 5-course dinner, horse back rides and bike rentals, the price started to feel a little better. They want guests to wear 'casually elegant' and jackets are suggested. That information was given to me in a confirmation email that I never read! So when we arrived late the first evening, I was a little put back when they told me the "dress code." We wore the nicest clothes we had and it was not a problem. The dinner and service were excellent. I won't go into the food details except to say it was all very good. As good as the dinner was, I liked the breakfast even better! It's an all-you-can-eat with the table service. The servings are huge so the waiters advise you to try half orders. Again, all the food was very good. The cabins themselves are very nice. We took great advantage of the bikes to ride around the park. And the horseback ride was really great. The guides, Mary Sue and Cora, were fantastic. The location is awesome, with an awesome view of the Tetons. It's a 5-10 minute bike ride to Jenny Lake. After we had checked out, we wanted to take a swim in nearby String Lake but couldn't find a place to park our RV. The staff let us park the RV at the lodge while we went swimming. The staff was excellent and friendly. Jenny Lake Lodge was worth every penny and we definitely will return some day, for a longer stay. read more

Food was some of the best I've ever had. Would recommend anything on the menu. Service is exceptional. Manager is really nice. Chef is awesome. Worth it. This is dining at its best. Quiet, grownups, elegant and all in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas of the country. read more

This was not worth the stop except for the lake view. We waited for a table and then waited 35 minutes for two BLTs which were ok but not worth the price. Most of the park's food service is mediocre at best and not worth the time. read more

Incredible location, very good food. The black bean burger was delicious -- very well made and very tasty. (We did not stay at the lodge but others in our family have in the recent past and were very pleased.) read more

The escargot was canned, unseasoned, and rubbery. The crab in the bisque fit the previous description. It's not only that it was overpriced, it was genuinely bad food at any price. I dined there in August 2012. read more

We have stayed here a number of times over the past 20+ years. We just returned from another stay and this will be our last because the food, lodging, and amenities do not justify the high cost. Our cabin was clean and cozy, but about the size of a nice hotel room. The shower head was terrible, providing a circular spray with water mostly on the perimeter. It took quite a while to get the shampoo out of my hair, which was a waste of water. The food is included in the nightly fee, but a gratuity is expected on the value of the meals, which are overpriced. Breakfast is nice, but not worth $25 each. We did -not- enjoy the dinners for the most part. Some of the appetizers, etc., we're very good, but the entrees were too haute cuisine for our taste. The dinners are now valued at ~$80. -per- person. We feel fair value was closer to ~$55-60. The views are breathtaking, so go for lunch or just drive to Jenny Lake Loop for the same views and save your money. We plan to now stay at Jackson Lake Lodge on our next trip, also an awesome view, and the Mural room has an outstanding menu. read more
