We’d spent the day in Jackson, WY but didn't want to pay Jackson hotel prices. So we booked at Targhee Lodge, which hasn't changed much when I skied it 20 years ago, but that's charm of it. It's hard for them to compete with new hotels in the summer, but in the winter, they are right on the slopes, so there's that. But the rate was amazing! The rooms were basic, with no AC; but at that elevation, we didn't need it. Staff were pleasant all around, which could go either way when there aren't many guests around. The food at their onsite restaurant was what was unexpected. We didn't want to go down the mountain into Driggs after just coming up, so we figured we'd eat at the only place available. Watermelon gazpacho, mac and cheese with elk sausage and jalapeño and smoked cheddar, and pan-seared idaho trout? It was delicious. Even with a only a few patrons at 8 pm, they didn't let up. Kudos to them. Since we arrived late, they even let us use the pool and hot tub past regular if we didn't make noise. Swimming under the stars surrounded by the Tetons was inspiring. The hotel room itself was nothing to write home about. The experience, however, was. In facy, when I called my dad on my cell and got cut off , he called the hotel to see if I was okay (thought I was choking). Next thing I know, security is at my door to see if I am alive and well. He even let me use his cell (different provider) to let my Dad know that all was well. Now that's service. It's a hidden gem.
