BENTWOOD INN- Jackson Hole, WY
Talk about the quintessential winter weekend getaway...this elegant five-guestroom log home is as beautiful and inviting as its backdrop, the legendary Grand Teton mountain range. The 6,000 square-foot home built in 1995, is entirely composed of 200 year old huge pine logs from Yellowstone National Park- an architectural splendor touches the senses. The grand, luxurious feel Is relaxing and cozy from the moment of arrival where the spacious slate entry leads into a massive, three-story living area that showcases a floor to ceiling 30 ft. river rock fireplace, a baby grand piano, and an adjacent library. The warm and inviting dining room features hand-painted tables and cheerfully eclectic Western decor. A stately log staircase leads up to the guest rooms off the open landing while a large cedar deck runs across the back of the Bentwood, where guests gather in friendly clusters at the end of the day to enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a view of the sunset over the spectacular Tetons.

Bentwood offers guests all the comforts of home and more - including your own personal whirlpool bathtub, a fireplace in every room and the very finest in amenities. Each morning Bentwood's guests awake to enticing scents from the kitchen where they take ordinary breakfast entrees and give them a unique flare. Instead of French toast, guests are treated to Swedish, Danish and English Tea Time toasts. Innkeepers Deborah and Lee Clukey previously ran a luxury B&B in Ojai, CA before joining the Bentwood Inn and their breakfasts are a fabulous way to start the day.Together, their energy and graciousness define the "Bentwood experience" for guests.

Best of all, it's centrally located to everything you will want to do on your Jackson Hole vacation. A short hop to Jackson Hole's best skiing, and a great spot to start a spectacularly scenic sixty-five mile drive through the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park to the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park. www.bentwoodinn.com
