A Guide to Staying at The Residences at Snow King
Planning a trip to Jackson Hole usually starts with one big question: where should you stay?
At The Residences at Snow King, Trailborn Jackson Hole offers a spacious stay designed for travelers who want a little more room to settle in. Combining the comfort of a private residence with access to Trailborn’s dining, wellness, and resort amenities, they provide a flexible home base for everything from weekend escapes to extended mountain adventures.
Located just steps from the main hotel at the base of Snow King Mountain, the residences offer room to spread out without giving up the convenience of on-site dining, wellness experiences, and adventure planning.
Whether you’re planning a summer hiking trip, a winter ski getaway, or a multi-generational family vacation, here’s why a vacation residence may be the perfect choice.
More Space to Settle Into Jackson Hole
One of the things guests love most about The Residences at Snow King is the opportunity to truly settle into Jackson Hole.
After a day of hiking Grand Teton National Park, skiing Snow King Mountain, or exploring downtown Jackson, there’s plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the quieter moments of your trip. Curl up with a book while the kids play games, gather around the dining table to plan tomorrow’s adventure, or simply relax together in comfortable living spaces designed for spending time together.
Available in a variety of layouts, The Residences offer the flexibility to suit all kinds of stays, whether you’re planning a romantic mountain getaway, travelling with family, or bringing friends together for a Jackson Hole adventure.
Cook on Your Schedule with a Full Kitchen
Jackson Hole’s dining scene is excellent, but sometimes flexibility matters just as much.
Having a full kitchen means you can:
- Make breakfast before an early wildlife tour – Get out the door before the crowds and enjoy a relaxed start to the day before heading into Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone.
- Pack lunches for Grand Teton National Park – Prepare sandwiches, snacks, and drinks for long hiking days or scenic drives, so you’re free to explore without needing to stop for lunch.
- Store groceries, snacks, and drinks – Ideal for longer stays, families with children, or anyone who likes having refreshments ready after a day outdoors.
- Cook dinner after a day of adventure – After hiking, skiing, or rafting, enjoy a quiet evening together without needing to head back out for a restaurant reservation.
- Enjoy coffee on your own schedule – Start your morning on your private balcony or patio with a fresh coffee while taking in the mountain air before the day’s adventures begin.
Whether you’re staying for a long weekend or an extended vacation, having your own kitchen gives you the flexibility to enjoy Jackson Hole at your own pace.
Ideal for Families and Groups
Jackson Hole is one of those destinations that’s best experienced together.
A residence allows everyone to stay under one roof while still enjoying personal space, making it easy to balance time together with time to unwind.
It’s particularly well suited for:
- Family vacations – Multiple bedrooms and spacious living areas give everyone room to relax, making travelling with children far more comfortable than sharing a single hotel room.
- Multi-generational trips – Grandparents, parents, and children can spend quality time together while still enjoying their own private spaces when needed.
- Groups of friends – Whether you’re planning a hiking weekend or ski trip, shared living areas make it easy to gather after a day of adventure and plan tomorrow’s itinerary.
- Couples travelling together – Split the cost of accommodation while enjoying communal spaces for meals, games, or relaxing after a day exploring Jackson Hole.
- National park road trips – With room for luggage, hiking gear, coolers, and outdoor equipment, a residence provides a comfortable base between adventures.
Instead of meeting in a hotel lobby every morning, your day begins around your own dining table before heading out to explore Wyoming.
Enjoy the Outdoors Even When You're Home
One of the features that makes The Residences feel truly different is the opportunity to enjoy Jackson Hole’s mountain setting even when you’re relaxing at home.
Private outdoor spaces provide the perfect place to slow down between adventures.
- Start the morning with mountain views – Enjoy breakfast or a quiet coffee outside before setting off for a hike, wildlife drive, or day in the national parks.
- Relax after a day outdoors – After skiing, rafting, or exploring Grand Teton National Park, unwind with a drink in the fresh mountain air before dinner.
- Make the most of long summer evenings – During warmer months, outdoor spaces become an extension of your residence, offering somewhere peaceful to read, chat, or simply enjoy the surroundings.
It’s these small moments that help make a Jackson Hole vacation feel even more memorable.
Stay Steps from Snow King Mountain
Location is another major advantage.
The Residences sit at the base of Snow King Mountain, putting year-round adventure within easy reach.
Depending on the season, you can enjoy:
- Skiing and snowboarding – Spend more time on the slopes and less time travelling, with one of Jackson’s most popular ski areas just moments from your door.
- Scenic gondola rides – Ride to the summit for panoramic views across Jackson Hole, the National Elk Refuge, and the surrounding mountain ranges.
- Hiking and mountain biking – Access trails that begin right from the mountain, ranging from leisurely walks to more challenging climbs with rewarding valley views.
- The Cowboy Coaster – One of Snow King’s signature attractions, offering a fun mountain ride for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.
- Downtown Jackson – Restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and the iconic Town Square are all within easy walking distance, making it simple to explore without constantly relying on your car.
Whether you’re visiting in summer or winter, few places offer such easy access to both outdoor adventure and downtown Jackson.
The Best of Both Worlds: Residence Living with Hotel Amenities
One of the biggest advantages of staying in The Residences is that you don’t have to choose between the comfort of a vacation home and the convenience of a boutique hotel.
Guests staying in The Residences also have access to many of Trailborn Jackson Hole’s amenities, including:
- Old Timer Bar & Restaurant – Enjoy hearty breakfasts before heading into the mountains or unwind with dinner and drinks after a full day exploring Jackson Hole.
- Ember Lily Spa – Relax with a massage or wellness treatment, or soothe tired muscles after hiking and skiing with the spa’s restorative facilities.
- Year-round heated pool and hot tub – Perfect for relaxing after an active day, whether you’ve been exploring Grand Teton National Park or hitting the slopes.
- Adventure Planning Desk – Get expert local recommendations and assistance booking guided tours, wildlife safaris, rafting trips, and other unforgettable experiences.
- Resort conveniences – From airport shuttles and ski services to bike rentals and family-friendly amenities, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of a boutique hotel alongside the privacy of your own residence.
It’s the flexibility of a vacation home combined with the thoughtful service and amenities that make every stay feel effortless.
Who Should Book a Vacation Residence?
While every traveller is different, a vacation residence is often the best choice if you’re:
- Planning a longer stay – Extra living space, a kitchen, and separate bedrooms make settling into Jackson Hole far more comfortable than spending several nights in a standard hotel room.
- Travelling with children – Families can spread out, prepare meals whenever they like, and enjoy shared living spaces that make travelling with little ones much easier.
- Visiting with friends or extended family – Whether it’s a ski trip, summer hiking holiday, or family reunion, everyone can stay together while still having plenty of personal space.
- Planning an active vacation – If your itinerary includes hiking, skiing, rafting, biking, or exploring the national parks, you’ll appreciate having room to store outdoor gear and recover comfortably after each adventure.
- Looking for a more flexible stay – A residence offers the freedom to travel at your own pace, balancing home comforts with easy access to Trailborn’s amenities and experiences.
