My son and I stayed in the economy room with two twin beds. The room was cozy and rustic in a good way. The bathroom was clean enough but could use an update. The living room common area outside the room was a nice place to drink my morning tea and read. I loved being able to walk down the stairs into the bar room for dinner, drinks and live music. It was also a stone's throw to Jackson X-C. Sue and Stu were very accommodating. There was no power the day I arrived due to high winds. Stu, the owner, opened the tavern for guests and we had fun hanging drinking and chatting with other guests. Sue kept the bar open a little later for us so that we could eat at the bar when my son arrived from Boston with food. In all, it was a good value and the perfect place to stay for our father-son ski trip.

Room review

I never saw any staff during my stay nor did I receive any instructions regarding how to find or get into my room. Luckily I met another guest that showed mere how to find what I was looking for. The room was okay but I am used to watching TV in bed which was not possible as the TV was located in the other room. The room was excessively warn and took many hours with the window (almost impossible to access) open. The bathroom space was small making any movements inside awkward. I ended up checking out a day early.

—Very noisy. 1. Very thin walls. Other guests were very quiet but you could hear their conversations clearly between the walls. 2. Huge noise from Tavern below. 3. Noise from street below from tavern customers who were leaving. —wifi and tv kept freezing and cutting. —room very dark. Needs more lights. —thermostat was supposed to control heat But it seemed to have little effect regardless of how it was set.

A true New England weekend.

We were here for our Anniversary/Birthday celebration. This is the third year we have come to Jackson for our celebration and the third place we have stayed. Not much in the way of amenities (no fridge or coffee maker in the room) but we had our own little living room to relax in. The music in the tavern was great, good enough that we had dinner there both nights of our stay.The menu offered some variety and the food was good. The owner was very nice and took the time to give us a little history of the area.

Wildcat Inn

Great hotel in the beautiful small town of Jackson, old world charm in the mountains. All the staff were so friendly, the bar and restaurant were just perfect. Beautiful quirky rooms. Yesterday's, 2 doors down make the perfect American breakfasts. Bears roam free (unfortunately we didn't see one), there's even a classic covered bridge.
