US Beyond Green lodges

A boutique lodge

The quiet,
deliberate alternative
to the resort wing.

Bentwood Inn was hand-built in 1995 from sixteen-inch logs salvaged after the 1988 Yellowstone fire — every beam a quiet act of stewardship before the word was fashionable. Today we are one of three U.S. lodges in the Beyond GreenCollection, a sustainability standard endorsed by National Geographic. What you'll feel here isn't a brand promise. It's seven rooms, four acres in the cottonwoods between Jackson and the Tetons, and a chef who has the eggs cracked by the time you reach the bottom of the stairs.

The Rooms

A note from the innkeeper

Bentwood Inn — chef and innkeeper at the great-room table
Morning service · 7:42 AM · Tuesday

We've had moose on the back lawn three of the last six mornings, an unusually wet spring (which the wildflower hill is, frankly, loving), and a chef who's finally talked us into making croissants in-house. We are seven rooms on four acres in the cottonwoods between Jackson and the Tetons, and we have been doing this — slowly, deliberately, by hand — since 1995.

If you are thinking about a stay: come for three nights. Two never feels like enough. If you are thinking about a wedding: write us before the brochure — we'll tell you which months are quietest and which photographers we'd use for our own daughter. If you are returning: the room you stayed in last time is held for you on the dates you mentioned, and the chef remembered the eggs.

The valley is having its moment. We are not. We are doing what we did when the timber went up.

Chef-prepared breakfast at Bentwood Inn

Dining

Breakfast that
earns its hour.

Locally roasted coffee. Fruit from the Jackson Hole farmers' market when the season allows. A short menu from the griddle, plated. Evenings begin with hors d'oeuvres around the great-room fire, and on select nights our chef sets a four-course bistro dinner.

  • Daily chef-prepared breakfast, included
  • Evening hors d'oeuvres in the great room
  • Bistro dinner nights (Tue / Fri, by reservation)
  • Summer BBQ + Tunes outdoor series

The Grounds

Four acres,
drawn by hand.

From the back deck you can see the Tetons. From the door you can be on a Grand Teton trailhead in fifteen minutes. From the front porch you can ride a cruiser into Wilson for coffee.

Our Heritage

From a 1988
burn line.

The story of the inn is, mostly, the story of the timber that became it.

  1. 198801 / 06

    The fire

    Two-thirds of Yellowstone burns — 1.2 million acres. The standing timber, dead but solid, awaits a second life.

  2. 199502 / 06

    Hewn by hand

    Sixteen-inch logs salvaged from the burn are floated south to a four-acre meadow in Wilson and joined without nails by a small crew that has worked the parks for a living.

  3. 200103 / 06

    The first guest

    What was built as a private home opens its doors. Seven rooms. One chef. One innkeeper. One fire that's always lit.

  4. 201404 / 06

    Beyond Green

    Inducted as one of three U.S. members of the Beyond Green Collection — a sustainable-tourism standard endorsed by National Geographic.

  5. 201905 / 06

    The renovation

    Every bath redone in tile. Heated floors throughout. The bones of the lodge are not touched.

  6. Today06 / 06

    Three decades in

    Still seven rooms. Still one chef. The wedding party from 1998 brought their daughter for her wedding in 2024. We didn't plan to be that kind of place. We are anyway.

The Bentwood played a vital role in our wedding memories. The whole stay felt as if we were at home. Incredibly kind staff, beautiful property.
Tori D. / Google, Nov 2024
Beautiful, comfortable, spacious rooms. The made-to-order breakfast was such a nice surprise — nothing short of amazing. Just outside the hustle of Jackson.

Good to know

Frequently asked.

Where is Bentwood Inn located?

+

Bentwood Inn sits on four acres at 4250 Raven Haven Rd in Wilson, WY — about 9 miles west of downtown Jackson Hole, 5 miles from Teton Village Ski Area, and minutes from the Granite Canyon entrance to Grand Teton National Park.

Is Bentwood Inn a hotel, a B&B, or a lodge?

+

It's a seven-room luxury inn — what you'd call a boutique lodge. Built from reclaimed Yellowstone timber salvaged after the 1988 fire. Every stay includes a chef-prepared breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres in the great room.

What is included in a stay?

+

Gourmet breakfast made daily by our in-house chef, evening hors d'oeuvres, complimentary cruiser bikes (April 15–Oct 15), complimentary snowshoes (Nov 15–Mar 30), high-speed Wi-Fi, on-site innkeepers, and access to the great room with its three-story river-rock fireplace.

Can I book the entire inn for a wedding or group?

+

Yes. We offer full-property buyouts for weddings, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Indoor capacity at the great-room fireplace is up to 35 guests; the lawn accommodates tented receptions of up to 200 in summer.

What makes Bentwood Inn different from larger Jackson Hole hotels?

+

Seven rooms, on-site innkeepers, a chef who knows your name by breakfast on day two, and one of three U.S. lodges in the Beyond Green Collection — a sustainability standard endorsed by National Geographic. The opposite of a resort wing with 400 keys.
