The Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole offers all the amenities and features of a ski resort town without all the hustle and bustle of some of the more-frequented ski resort towns in the US. While Teton Village has a limited selection of services relative to some other ski resort towns, there is so much to do in the immediate and surrounding area that it is hard to notice. Unless what you are seeking is a great nightlife scene, Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole is an ideal property offering everything families could imagine in terms of indoor comforts and outdoor pursuits. Must stay, will return.

Room

💛💛💛💛💛

Since Grandma was joining us on this trip, we booked a 3-bedroom (and 3-bathroom) Valley View Residence through Chase Rewards Travel. This room came with everything we could possibly want or need for 3 adults and 2 kids, including a full kitchen and pantry, living room with fireplace and terrace, dining room with seating for 8, and washer/dryer setup.

Service

💛💛💛💛💛

The service experience here was outstanding overall. One of our many memorable experiences was one night when M and I ventured offsite to nearby Amangani for an anniversary-night dinner while Grandma had an in-room movie night with the kids. When we arrived at Amangani for dinner, Grandma texted me sharing that the Four Seasons Resort staff had unexpectedly sent up a 4-pack of craft root beer, two bags of microwave popcorn, and a popcorn bowl on the house for the kids' night in with Grandma (M had mentioned the movie night to a very kind doorman who must have then came up with the idea). Everyone was surprised and delighted at this very special and memorable touch.

Dining

💛💛💛💛

The resort has five on-site dining options:

• Westbank Grill - breakfast and dinner, Steakhouse

• Ascent Lounge - breakfast and bar (pictured, right)

• The Handle Bar - American Pub and beer hall, apres-ski focused; closed while we were there

• The Pool Cafe / Poolside Dining - poolside al fresco cafe

• In-Room Dining

As mentioned under Service, our experiences with In-Room Dining and Westbank Grill were exceptional. In the evenings, the Westbank Grill dinner menu was available to order via In-Room Dining. In-Room Dining consistently had relatively short wait times and always delivered ahead of the quoted time. The Cowboy Cookie from In-Room Dining and Westbank Grill was a family favorite.

Wow Factor

💛💛💛💛+

The surrounding area is remarkably beautiful and relatively unspoiled for a US ski resort town, and the service experience delivered at the “wow” level. The only slight drawback was that the resort property itself, while having much to offer on- and off-site, was not especially distinctive in its design and decor.

Value

💛💛💛+

The resort and surrounding area offer endless diversions, but be prepared to open your pocketbooks.

Overall

💛💛💛💛💛

The Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole is a truly remarkable year-round destination for family travelers who enjoy outdoor adventures (think: skiing, cycling, hiking, horseback riding, hot-air ballooning). This destination has a more laid-back, personal, salt-of-the-earth vibe than what you often get with glitzier ski villages, yet still delivers a top-notch mountain resort experience.

We cannot wait to come back.
