Spring Creek Ranch

Sitting about 5 miles northwest of downtown Jackson, Wyoming, (and within the boundaries of a wildlife sanctuary), Spring Creek Ranch beckons to travelers interested in the animal kingdom. Recent visitors rave about the stunning mountain vistas. To get a better look at the elk and bison that roam these parts, tag along on one of the hotel's wildlife safaris (for an additional fee), or check out an artistic rendition in the National Museum of Wildlife Art. When you aren't out communing with nature, soak up some rays lounging by the pool or relax at the on-site Wilderness Adventure Spa. And as for the lodgings themselves, most guests love having their own cabins, which house wood-burning fireplaces and wireless internet access, as well as private patios or balconies. However, some visitors mention that the lack of air conditioning can make a summer stay slightly uncomfortable, while others note that the cabins could use an update.
