Skiers Find Luxury and Convenience in Teton Village
by Staff Writers
Teton Village has once again proven to be the place to be this winter as consistent season-wide snowfalls have brought the resort’s totals to the 500-inch mark and beyond. If the continuous storm skiing and powder days weren’t enough on their own, this weekend’s Rendezvous Spring Festival is poised to deliver an impressive, unofficial capstone to the season in Jackson Hole. The two-day music festival features a Friday night set on Jackson’s iconic town square followed by Saturday’s set in Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
In Teton Village, exquisite condo-hotel properties epitomize an ease of ownership and mountainside access. A two-bedroom, three-bathroom condominium in Hotel Terra serves as the ideal base camp for all that the Village has to offer. A versatile floor plan is accentuated via three separately-keyed units that offer a combined 1,137 square feet of space and includes a fully-equipped kitchen.
Altogether, Hotel Terra 318 can accommodate up to eight guests, and a robust program is available to provide rental management for the unit when owners are not in residence. The AAA, 4-Diamond boutique hotel offers a suite of luxurious amenities including a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, spa, ski valet and a dedicated owner’s locker. On-site dining is available via Il Villaggio Osteria, a bastion of Teton Village’s culinary scene serving authentic Italian cuisine, and the rest of the resort area’s offerings are only steps away.
