A classic Western motor lodge turned stylish, social base — pool, fire pits, live music, and easy access to the rodeo. The best value stay in Jackson.
Why We Chose It
The Virginian Lodge occupies a classic Wyoming lodge position a short walk from Town Square and delivers an honest, no-frills Jackson experience at prices that feel like a different era compared to the valley's luxury properties. The pool is one of the few in downtown Jackson. Family rooms include bunk beds for children. The on-site restaurant serves reliable Western comfort food. The proximity to the Jackson Hole Rodeo (one of the valley's most beloved seasonal traditions — held Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from June through August at the Teton County Fairgrounds, a five-minute walk from the lodge) makes it the most practically situated family option for summer visitors. The Virginian is not a luxury property, but it is a warm, well-run, and honest one — the kind of lodge that has been part of Jackson's visitor infrastructure for decades because it does what it says it will.
What Stands Out
- One of the few pools in downtown Jackson — rare and valuable for summer families
- Family rooms with bunk beds — the most family-configured accommodation downtown
- Five-minute walk to the Jackson Hole Rodeo: Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings in summer
- Classic Wyoming lodge character — honest, well-run, and decades of institutional memory
- Few blocks from Town Square — all the dining and galleries walkable at budget prices
