Where to stay in Jackson Hole: Teton Village or the town of Jackson?
As ski enthusiasts in the winter and avid hikers in summer Jackson Hole is the ideal vacation spot.
If you are skiing or visiting in winter, staying in Teton Village definitely offers you the most convenience. Jackson Hole is a premier ski resort, so if you love snow sports like we do, definitely check out Jackson Hole in winter.
Although the village is great for skiers, we also love staying in the town of Jackson, especially during the summer when the town truly comes alive with activities and visitors.
Summer is the most popular time to visit Jackson Hole, and if you do visit during the warmer season, staying in town is more convenient for shopping, dining, and exploring the outdoors and nearby national parks.
