Teton Hostel HideAway

Driggs

Price $$$ Proximity 22.2 mi from gate

Season

A budget hostel in Driggs on the Idaho side of Teton Pass — the west-slope basecamp option when Jackson's prices aren't in the plan. You're 45–60 minutes from the park's Moose entrance via US-26 and Teton Pass (7,988 ft), so allow extra time and check road conditions in shoulder season.
Best for
- Value road-trippers The lowest-price option on the Idaho side — useful when all Jackson lodging is booked or priced out. Factor in the 45–60 min Teton Pass drive to the park entrance in your daily plan.

Season

A predictable chain motel in Driggs — the most accessible budget option on the west slope, suited to single-night stops en route across Teton Pass. At 45–60 minutes from the Moose entrance it's a commute, but fuel and dining are right in town, which saves stops on the drive.
Best for
- Value road-trippers The only nationally branded chain on the Idaho side with a solid review score (8.4) — predictable quality, no surprise fees, and the lowest net-cost option once you factor in Driggs' off-peak prices versus Jackson. Best for travelers who want a simple base without paying Jackson Hole premiums.

Cabin

Teton Valley Cabins

Driggs

Price $$$$ Proximity 23.7 mi from gate Rated 8.8/10

Season

Stand-alone cabins in Driggs with the Teton Range visible from the west — the pick for travelers who want a proper cabin stay without Jackson's lodge pricing. Good review score (8.8) and enough space to cook your own meals, which matters when you're 45–60 minutes over Teton Pass from the park.
Best for
- Comfort-first travelers The most comfortable mid-tier option on the Idaho side — private cabins with solid ratings in a quiet mountain setting. The Teton Pass drive to the park is the trade-off; plan to be on the road by 7am to beat the summer entrance queue.

Motel

Teton West Motel

Driggs

Price $$$$ Proximity 24.6 mi from gate Rated 7.8/10

Season

A small motel in downtown Driggs — solid 8/10 score, walkable to Driggs' handful of restaurants and shops. When Jackson lodging is sold out in peak summer or winter ski season, this gives you a bed with reliable basics at the west-slope price point.
Best for
- Value road-trippers Downtown Driggs location is walkable, which saves driving around for dinner after a long park day — a genuine convenience when you're commuting 45–60 min over Teton Pass to the park. Simple motel, no surprises, lower nightly rate than anything in Jackson.

Cabin

Isolated Cabin with Hot-Tub and Foosball Table in Idaho

Driggs

Price $$$$ Proximity 25.7 mi from gate

Season

A genuinely isolated cabin north of Driggs — no neighbors, hot tub under the stars, and the Teton Range as your view. The 45–60 min Teton Pass drive to the park is built into the deal; in exchange you get a basecamp that feels nothing like a hotel.
Best for
- One-of-a-kind stays The pick for travelers who want the antithesis of a hotel stay — total isolation, outdoor hot tub, and unobstructed Teton views from the Idaho side. The park commute is the price of admission; build it into your day (early start, park by 8am) and it works.

Teton Peaks Resort

Tetonia

Price $$$$ Proximity 30.3 mi from gate Rated 8.4/10

Season

A resort hotel in Tetonia at the north end of Teton Valley — the most polished lodging on the Idaho side, with mountain views and full resort amenities. Tetonia is slightly farther from Jackson over Teton Pass (60–70 min), but the resort infrastructure means you stay put in the evenings rather than driving to Driggs or Jackson for dinner.
Best for
- Comfort-first travelers The most complete resort experience available on the Idaho west slope — if you've decided to base on this side of the pass for price or peace, this is where you don't sacrifice comfort. Full resort amenities, restaurant on site, Teton views. Plan for 60–70 min to the Moose entrance.
