Next on the list of Jackson Hole summer resorts is Alpine House, a European-inspired lodging. This beautiful boutique outdoor hotel is one of the best places to stay in Jackson Hole in summer due to its location, being walking distance from town and the National Elk Refuge. Soak in the sights of Jackson Hole Valley from this restful sanctuary, embracing the rustic atmosphere with contemporary comforts. Just a stroll away is the renowned Glorietta Trattoria Italian restaurant, Alpine House’s crown jewel, featuring homemade pasta, tantalizing cuts of meat, and a fine selection of wine to highlight your stay.

Moreover, indulge in made-to-order breakfast and a boutique fitness center (as if you’re not getting enough exercise hiking and biking). What more could you ask for?
Now, if you’re looking for less involved Jackson Hole summer resorts, you may consider Anvil Hotel & Cache House. Don’t be confused; these boutique hotels are just as lovely, clean, and welcoming as the others, but they encourage a greater focus on the destination rather than the hotel. The Anvil Hotel is separate from Cache House, though they are beside each other, and both are sisters to the aforementioned Alpine House.
There are few amenities to be found here besides made-to-order gourmet breakfast and easy access to the Glorietta Trattoria. This way, you can focus more on exploring the majestic Tetons and Yellowstone. While Anvil Hotel features elegant Brooklyn-inspired guest rooms, Cache House offers an elevated hostel experience, connecting a community of explorers with plush, upscale bunks and cozy communal spaces for storytelling after a day of adventure.

Both of these mountain resorts also feature one-of-a-kind alpine dining with unparalleled views of the mountainscape.
Of course, you can’t stay at Jackson Hole summer resorts without exploring Grand Teton National Park. At the heart of the park, these daunting peaks rise to nearly 14,000 feet high, making for a dramatic image as you hike, bike, and mountaineer the range. For wildlife lovers, a day spent in the park offers glimpses of fauna like elk, moose, eagles, and even grizzly bears and wolves, among others. So, make sure to bring your camera.
If a day fishing or paddling is what you’re after, you’ll find a variety of alpine lakes, including Jenny, String, Leigh, and Jackson Lake, all of which are healthy with trout and perfect for kayaking, floating, and boating. And for those who prefer the comfort of their vehicle, cruise down scenic drives like Jenny Lake Scenic Drive, Moose-Wilson Road, Teton Park Road, and more.
Jackson’s Town Square, known formally as George Washington Memorial Park, is just minutes from all the best places to stay in Jackson Hole in summer. The square is accented by an arch made of real elk antlers, an ode to the herds that call Jackson Hole home. Here, you’ll find a variety of delicious local restaurants, art galleries, boutique shops, and vibrant nightlife. What more could you need?
A night in town brings the sound of live music and laughter, while days are spent perusing bookstores, galleries, and mountain shops.
