Great place to stay. Rustic decor, comfy bed, very clean, modern amenities and unbeatable view. Very convenient to town and Grand Teton Park. I enjoyed using a keycode as opposed to a key card.

The room was very noisy with highway traffic, they did offer free ear plugs. I was expecting fresh towels and made-up bed between the first and second nights but that did not occur. The in-room coffee maker worked well and the view was stunning.

Absolutely loved this place. Our room was exceptionally clean and well stocked. The bed was comfy & the tv worked well. Our view was great and we loved waking up everyday to see the elk right out front. I love how this place is somewhat off to the side offering some seclusion while also being so close to everything. Check in was easy and I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent place to stay where you can sit in your bed in the morning and watch the elk out in the gated field. The staff was wonderful and the housekeeping staff was better than any place I’ve ever stayed. When we went out for the morning and didn’t come back until afternoon, our room looked like it did when we first checked in. There’s no extra frills at this hotel, but it is location, location, location that matters.

The Elk Refuge Inn exceeded our expectations! The rooms were “cute” and functional. We liked the layout and all the amenities, including the refrigerator/freezer, microwave, a good supply of beverage choices, dish soap, scrubbers, and dish towels. They knew what we needed to make our stay comfortable more than we knew! Every time I contacted them by phone or by text, they were extremely helpful and courteous. I felt valued as a guest before I ever arrived. We loved being on the second floor and having a great view of the Elk across the road. We loved hearing the bugling and the cows communicating with their young. We are so happy we were encouraged to bring our own binoculars. It was a great suggestion by the staff. We can’t think of one thing that would’ve made our stay any better. It was fantastic!
