Finding a room in Grand Teton is not terribly hard, if you plan far enough ahead - like maybe a year ahead. And even if you wait until the last minute and find the park sold-out, the town of Jackson is closeby with its somewhat plentiful possibilities.
In Grand Teton there are four primary lodging complexes that offer everything from decidedly Spartan "tent cabins" to charming, well-appointed rooms running hundreds of dollars a night.
Colter Bay actually is a pretty nice basecamp for a Grand Teton visit. It's in a gorgeous, forested setting on the shore of Jackson Lake, there's a marina for boat excursions, a grocery store, and middle-of-the-road restaurants. Plus, the Jackson Lake Lodge complex is just five miles (eight kilometers) down the road.
For lodging options you have several varieties of "cabins" to choose from: either a $101/night tent cabin reservable through recreation.gov, which is a bare-bones contraption of canvas, concrete and logs with bunk beds outfitted with thin, vinyl-covered mattresses, and no electricity, or a log cabin, which is a considerable step up at $299-$409 per night for a cabin. Those rates reflect that some cabins have no bathrooms, some feature one bedroom and bath, and the high-end come with two bedrooms and a single bathroom. All cabins include linens, towels, and coffee makers but do not include televisions, microwaves, or mini-fridges. Hairdryers and irons are available upon request at the cabin office. A couple of the cabins cannot be booked online and you'll need to call 307- 543-3100 to make a reservation. You'll also need to call this number to book one of their ADA accessible cabins. Cabins are available May 22-September 6, 2026.
While the tent cabins are OK if you're in transit to, for instance, a backpacking or paddling trip, they're not the best for a family looking for a multi-night stay unless you're on a very tight budget and don't mind smelling like smoke.
The log cabins are much nicer, offering both a roof overhead plus stout log walls that make you feel secure from the grizzly and black bears that roam this landscape. Inside the beds are covered with quilts, the walls are a charming log construction, overhead there is a plank ceiling supported by log beams that definitely reflect the park's setting. That said, these units can get quite hot during the summer months. While they have heaters to ward off autumn's chill, they don't have air-conditioners.
While renovations were made 2016-2017 with a focus on bringing the bathrooms up to date, these are not upscale units, so don't expect the Hilton. Cabins with bathrooms offer a shower, sink, and toilet. But overall these cabins would nicely suit a family of four.
This is a sprawling complex of 385 rooms ranging from rooms in the main lodge to rows of cottages rimming the main lodge. There are also two restaurants, a gift shop, and beautiful views across its namesake lake.
The cottages (available mid-May through early October) come in a variety of offerings and are located within a few minutes' walk of the main lodge. Cottages range from "Classic Cottage" room with two beds and bathroom all the way up to "Mountain View Suites," which overlook Willow Flats, have a small sitting room in addition to the bedroom, king-sized bed, and coffeemaker and refrigerator. Prices for 2026 range from $449 to $1,120 per night, depending upon cottage choice, month, and day. Prices do not include taxes and other applicable fees.

The Main Lodge Rooms don't offer mountain views, and are located on the third-floor. The rooms come with two queen beds and private bath. The Mountain View Lodge Rooms also are on the third floor, face Jackson Lake and the Tetons, and come with private bathes and mini-refrigerators. The Moran Suite -- there's only one -- offers two rooms. The bedroom has a king-bed and a private bath with jetted tub. The other room has a small kitchenette, dining area, and second bathroom.
2026 rates range from $515 for a lodge room, to $1,585 for the suite, excluding taxes and other applicable fees.

Open early June through early October, Jenny Lake Lodge is a stand-alone, high-end property in a gorgeous setting close to the flanks of the Tetons.
