Where to Stay-cation

For a fun, town hotel-style stay, look no further than Snow King Resort. Choose between a hotel guestroom or a luxury condominium for your ideal stay-cation oasis. The location is perfect, and you’ll have access to the resort’s hot tub, pool, all-day restaurant and in-house Grand View Spa.

From slopeside condos to expansive multi-bedroom homes, Outpost’s portfolio has the perfect place for your not-so-distant getaway.
Treat Yourself
What’s more restorative on any vacation (or stay-cation) than treating yourself to a massage or other spa service? (Answer: nothing.) Ensure that your experience is absolutely peak by letting the massage come to you! Pretty Bird Massage & Esthetics is delighted to deliver mobile massage services in Jackson Hole, so no matter where you are, pure relaxation is just one appointment away.
Appreciate the Outdoors
Sure, we’re lucky enough to glimpse moose or bald eagles on our daily commute, so sometimes we can take our wild neighbors for granted. But if you sign up for a wildlife safari with EcoTour Adventures, you’re guaranteed to see our amazing landscape in a whole new way. Expert guides will share mountains of fascinating facts and help you see incredible critters with a fresh perspective!
If you’re seeking an experience that’s more customized — and absolutely magical — get in touch with Edge Wyld! Their bespoke winter picnics include a quiet snowshoe adventure where a magical igloo awaits filled with delicious treats and hot cocoa. Or, if you’d like to venture further north near Grand Teton National Park, a private ranch awaits where you can snowshoe at your own pace to a warm lodge and picnic meal with amazing Teton views.
Stay-cation Sushi
Though Jackson Hole may be quite far from the nearest ocean, we are fortunate enough to enjoy phenomenal sushi. Not that an excuse is required to appreciate exceptional Japanese fare, but in case you’d like one, let the stay-cation be it.
Downtown’s Kampai is a must-experience for exceptional sushi. Sophisticated and delectable, the menu has classics and boundary-pushing creations alike. If you’d prefer an equally superb spot on the West Bank, head for Sudachi. The eatery offers a nightly chef’s tasting menu or omakase. This is a mixture of sosaku sashimi, nigiri, agemono, o-toshi, and any other of the chef’s creations for the night using all of the freshest and finest ingredients.
Alternatively, kick back and let the sushi come to you! Gaijun Sushi Ko and Dairoku will bring exceptional Japanese food to your home. All the flavor and fun, none of the effort.
Stay-cation Sips
Make your stay-cation extra special by planning some exceptional drinks. What better way to cap off a wonderful day than with a glass of your favorite spirits? Grab a bottle from the local producers at Jackson Hole Winery — savor the distinctive flavors of award-winning blends crafted right here in the Tetons. If you’re looking for a bottle from elsewhere, swing into The Liquor Store and chat with their friendly and extraordinarily-knowledgable staff. Their extensive collection of wines is sure to include exactly what you’re looking for.
TLS is also a one-stop-shop for all of your beer and liquor needs, too. Whether you’re looking for something locally made (like Wyoming Whiskey or Jackson Hole Still Works) or a particular element for a signature cocktail, you’re likely to find it here.
Kick back, relax and enjoy the magic that is Jackson Hole. A stay-cation is the perfect way to pause and really take a look around — notice the amazingness that we can, occasionally, take for granted.
