Since its occupation by the US Cavalry, this 1910 resort has been gussied up:
walkways lead to prim log duplexes featuring rooms with phones, coffeemakers and patio
rockers. While less rugged than a mountain hideaway, the grounds still provide solitude
for a short break. Pet-friendly ($10 extra), it's popular with families and couples; most
stay a night or two between parks. The lodge offers upscale dining, a minimarket and an
activities desk. Shuttles go to Jackson and the Jackson Hole Airport.
