Condominiums
Condominiums provide a popular option for families and groups visiting Jackson Hole. These privately owned places are maintained by several local property-management companies and vary from small studio apartments to spacious five-bedroom houses. All are completely furnished (including dishes) and have fireplaces, cable TV, phones, and mid-stay maid service if you remain more than five nights. The nicest also include access to pools and hot tubs and have balconies overlooking the spectacular Tetons.
Many of the condominiums are in Teton Village (adjacent to the ski area) or a couple of miles south in Teton Pines or the Aspens; others are scattered around Jackson Hole, so make sure you get a place close to your interests.
Condo prices vary widely depending upon location and amenities, but during the winter holiday season (Christmas-early Jan.), expect to pay $190-230 per night for studio or one-bedroom condos (1-2 people). Two-bedroom units (up to four people) cost $280-320 per night, and full four-bedroom/three-bath condos (these sleep eight) run $375-520 per night. The most sumptuous places will set you back $4,800 nightly in the peak winter season, but if you’re feeling flush with cash, rent one of the finest homes for a mere $28,000 a month!
Summer and off-peak winter rates are often 35-50 percent lower, with spring and fall rates 50-70 percent lower than peak-season prices. In fall or spring, condos offer a real bargain for traveling families looking to stay several nights in the area. Minimum stays of 3-7 nights are required throughout the year, with the longest minimum stays required in the peak winter season.
If you have the luxury of time, do a little comparison shopping before renting a condo. Things to ask include whether you have access to a pool and hot tub, how close you are to the ski slopes, how frequent the maid service is, and whether the units include such amenities as Wi-Fi, DVD players, flat-screen TVs, washers, and dryers. Also be sure to find out what beds are in the rooms, because couples might not enjoy sleeping in twin bunk beds. Ask about the age and condition of the condos, since some are dated. The newest units are at Love Ridge (next to Snow King Resort) and White Buffalo Club (downtown). Fortunately, the rental companies provide helpful online photos, floor plans, and other details for the various styles of condos.
