We stayed three nights in a lower level two room lakeside cabin. The location and views from the grounds are spectacular. Moments after we arrived we were visited by four deer foraging outside our door. Sunset over the lake can be enjoyed either from the chairs outside the room or from the nearby dock area. The mountains were still snowcapped during early July. The two room lakeside unit was pet friendly which was perfect but overall the park is not. We would not recommend bringing your dog along as it does limit what you can take part in. We were disappointed in the run down condition of the rooms. The kitchenette was minimally stocked. We had to clean the windows when we first arrived so our view was not hindered by the dead mosquitoes all over the windows and windowsill. The front desk was very apologetic and did take off one night pet fee from our bill. Be sure and pack plenty of bug spray! Peaks, the restaurant in the main lodge was worth eating at despite the lengthy wait. (Go early or late). The two hour float trip booked through the front desk was worth every penny. We had a super guide and saw much wildlife including three bull moose. Grand Teton National Park is probably one of the five most magnificent parks in the US...the condition of the lodging unfortunately does not rank up there.

My wife and I stayed three nights in Signal Mountain Lodge at the end of our trek through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. We were in Grand Teton in early September 2011. When we visit the National Parks we prefer to stay inside the park, if there are lodging options available. There are several options in Grand Teton, and after weighing the various factors (cost, location, amenities), we opted to stay at Signal Mountain. I think we made a very good choice.
Signal Mountain Lodge is located along the southeast shore of Jackson Lake, just off of the Teton Park Road. The lodge is actually a complex of buildings. The first building you pass once you turn off the main road and into the complex is a gas station and convenience store which has a good selection of snacks and drinks. The next building has the food services. Inside is a gift shop, Peak’s restaurant (we never ate here)), Trapper Grill (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; we had breakfast here once) and Deadman’s Bar (a cozy little bar that serves dinner as well; we ate here twice and really enjoyed it. They serve the same food as in Trapper Grill). The central building contains the reservation desk and a common area with computer access, TV, games and space just to sit and relax. There is also free coffee available. We never really used any of the common areas, as the park was what we came to see.

Lodging is provided via a series of “cabins” that are arrayed between the reservation building and Jackson Lake. I believe that most of the cabins are made up of four connected units. All looked to be in good shape. There are several located right along the lake shore, so they have stunning views. Our cabin was off the shore but was it still great place to stay.

The living quarters was basically a large motel room and very well appointed. We had a king-size bed and there was still a lot of space in the room. There was a table with two chairs, a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker in the room. This was nice for the one evening that we decided just to get carry-out pizza from Leak’ Marina for dinner, along with some beer from the convenience store (Snake River Brewing Company Pale Ale…good stuff). This made for a relaxing evening after a long day of exploring the park. The cabin had a full-size bathroom. We found the cabin to be clean and comfortable.

The personnel at Signal Mountain were all very friendly and helpful. This includes the folks at the front desk, in all of the dining facilities, the gift shop and the gas station.

We enjoyed our stay at Signal Mountain Lodge. The only knock on the lodging (and this applies to any place in the park) is that it is not that centrally located. While it is not too far from any given place, there is still a drive involved to get to the main attractions or the trailheads into the mountains. But that is a minor issue and one that that applies to anyplace you stay in the park, I think. Overall, Signal Mountain Lodge made a great base for our time in Grand Teton National Park.

We stayed in one of the cabins with fireplace for 3 nights in August, 2010 (review says November - was the latest back selections went) - could have stayed forever!. One of our buddies joined us so we had a rollaway bed and we all were quite comfortable. We found the cabin to be quiet and spacious - although we weren't in the cabin very much! I've attached some pictures to describe the location and setting; they are truly each worth many thousands of words. You know you're in a great location when you are unpacking the car and a her of elk pass behind your cabin! The meals we had in the lodge restaurant were just fine - hearty breakfasts to start the day and lunch on the deck overlooking Jackson Lake. This proved to be a perfect jumping off point to explore the Grand Teton National Park. Jenny Lake, Signal Mountain Summit, Snake River Float (excellent outing!) I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Wildlife was abundant, the views and setting spectacular, the people friendly... what more could you ask for!?

We stayed in a rustic log cabin with a fireplace in early June. We originally requested just the log cabin but upon arrival the friendly lady at the reservations desk said that they were giving us a free upgrade to the fireplace cabin. It was very comfortable,clean, and romantic. We only stayed one night because we were moving on to Yellowstone but we wished we could have stayed several. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone traveling to the Tetons!
