Fodor's Expert Review Elk Refuge Inn

This simple, two-story motel with clean, warmly furnished rooms stands out for great reason: it's set along a minimally developed stretch of U.S. 26/89/191 that overlooks Flat Creek and the National Elk Refuge. It's also 2 miles north of the bustle of downtown Jackson, making it handy for driving up into Grand Teton National Park. Rooms and suites have white and pale-yellow color schemes and most have patios or decks overlooking the greenery (there's also a parking lot). A remodel slated for completion in spring 2021 will further spruce up the property.
