GTLC – Jenny Lake Lodge

We didn't stay at the lodge, but must give a 5-star review for the kindness and assistance of lodge manager Dave Brooks. We had a punctured tire while driving through Grand Teton and tried the service station, which was closed on a Sunday. Dave was off work but happened to be passing by, asked if we needed anything, and then stopped, opened up the shop, tried patching our tire, and ultimately changed our tire. He was off work, and doesn't even work at the service station, but must have spent about an hour with us... and then insisted he couldn't charge us since the shop was closed. With a punctured tire and no jack in a national park, we aren't sure what we would have done if not for running into Dave. We are SO grateful!!

We stayed at Colter Bay in a cabin with a shared bathroom attached. Good for a few overnights. Scenery is fantastic. If you want a more exclusive stay at Jackson Lodge. Very nice accommodations with a great view lodge on the second level. With multiple restaurant options.

Like all National Park concessions it is the only game in town but they do a much more tremendous job than what we've experienced at other parks. Captain Phil who took us out on his beautiful purpose-built fishing boat is a true outdoorsman and he is able to speak to so much more because of his extensive life experiences and past professional career. He was also great with my young enthusiastic daughter. Every staff member we met was knowledgeable, experienced, well spoken, responded positively to conversation starters, and happy to be at Grand Teton. The deep tans suggest that they too take advantage of the surrounding beauty and opportunities for recreation. Maybe we were just super lucky but we had driven in via Truckee/Nevada/Idaho, been to Yosemite in the past month, and ended up in Yellowstone... and the sheer joy of living in majesty was simply not consistently in these places. I hope the magic is real in Grand Teton!

This place was a blessing. So close to the hospital. Employees were friendly and helped us with anything we needed. I loved staying in the cabins. It was so nice to open the windows and have fresh air flowing through the cabin. We used the grill to cook one night and sat at the picnic tables several nights to eat our dinner.

Very much enjoyed our stay. The main lodge had great views and enjoyed some food (to go) and drinks at the bar there. We stayed at a cabin room with a view of the mountains as well as a room with a porch and enjoyed both. If you want a lodge in the national park, stay here.
