Fireside Resort

The Fireside Resort combines aspects of a modern boutique hotel in a rustic campground setting, surrounded by nature, with the occasional moose passing through. The resort embraces eco-friendly practices, and the buildings fit beautifully in their natural environment, where views of the Tetons are abundant and striking. Fans of the tiny house movement will appreciate the spacious but efficient cabin layouts. The quiet, shady grounds are populated by trees and local wildlife, with a creek where kids (or adults) can go wading, and a jogging trail out front. Each cabin has a fire pit, as well as a small grill and a picnic table; guests who want to socialize can, and those seeking privacy can easily find it. The Fireside feels like a small ski town -- it's a peaceful place to relax and recharge and a cozy romantic retreat for all four seasons.

The Fireside Resort is located down a tree-lined dirt road that runs alongside busy Moose-Wilson Highway. The area is quiet and safe, surrounded by private homes. There are a variety of good restaurants nearby, including a roadhouse-style spot serving craft beer, a coffee shop, and bratwurst, sushi, and Italian kitchens. The entrance to Grand Teton National Park is a 20-minute drive away. The Fireside is within eight miles, or 15 minutes' drive, of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum, Jackson Town Square, Snow King Resort, the Alpine Slide, and the Jackson Hole Playhouse. Jackson Hole Airport is a 25-minute drive from the hotel. There's also a market with groceries and prepared foods about a mile away. 

Cabins at the Fireside Resort are individual gems, examples of the tiny house movement, with a modern, rustic look and upscale amenities. Each unit has a private furnished porch, and most have small lawn areas, each with a picnic table and grill. The decor oozes cabin-y charm, with separate living rooms furnished with leather sofas, ponyskin hassocks, and warm woods. Striking picture windows look over the landscape, but there are curtains to shut out prying eyes. 

Every cabin has a fireplace and a small, well-equipped kitchen that includes a dishwasher, microwave, mini-fridge, toaster, coffeemaker, and two-burner cooktop. Pots and pans, glassware, dishes, and utensils are provided. Bathrooms have glassed-in tiled showers, but no tubs. Amenities include flat-screen TVs with cable channels in the bedrooms and living rooms, and free toiletries. Rooms near the highway get more noise, particularly during the summer months. Noise from RVs driving into their parking lot and campground at the back of the property can also be heard in some cabins. There is no air-conditioning in cabins. 

The Fireside Resort has an outdoor spa tub on a wide deck with stunning mountain views. The resort offers convenient Jeep Rubicon Rentals on-site, equipped with Pendleton blankets, binoculars, and coolers to make area daytrips more fun. The grounds offer barbecue grills and picnic areas. There's a spacious guest laundry with a sink for handwashing, and a table for folding clothes. The lobby includes a gift shop/convenience store stocked with T-shirts and trucker hats, snacks, sundries, and beer. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. A free area shuttle service is provided, including to ski resorts, hourly. Pet-friendly cabins are available, with extra fees.
