Who is Grand Victorian Lodge?

Howdy!  Interesting subject line, eh?  Over the course of 9 years in Jackson many discussions with guests centered on what defines a bed and breakfast.  Technically and historically a bed and breakfast has 4 or less rooms, was a home originally and innkeepers reside in the same house.  Grand Victorian Lodge has 11 rooms, was never a home originally and innkeepers do not reside in the Lodge BUT we have operated the Lodge as a bed and breakfast.   This year we still offer a complimentary breakfast but the breakfast concept has changed to accommodate the changing needs of our guests.   As previously posted we listed the time change as well as the food items are varied and expanded giving our guests options to pick and choose what they wish to enjoy.   

Please note for May and October breakfast is continental which is :  coffee, tea and orange juice, yogurt parfaits or smoothies and scrambled eggs with toast. 

For June through September is European expanded breakfast which is:  coffee, tea, orange juice, hand made parfaits or smoothies, fresh fruit, sliced cheese or cold cut, hard boiled eggs, croissants, whole wheat bread, granola, bakery offerings and hot item.   We will continue to offer gluten free bread upon request. 

I hope this is clear and appealing to you giving you more options than in recent years.   Our desire is to adapt to our guest’s needs promoting the best experience possible while visiting us at Grand Victorian Lodge in the town of Jackson Hole! 

Until we meet again………..your hosts and innkeepers…………….Brad and Nancy

SPRING FEELS NEAR

It is 56 degrees and sunny today in Jackson Hole!  Wish you were here?  Snow is melting quickly and thoughts of spring than summer occur naturally.  Calls and online bookings are coming in faster so others are thinking of the upcoming seasons as well.  With Grand Teton Park just 20 minutes north and Yellowstone Park one and half hours north staying in the town of Jackson accomplishes not only the parks but the historic town of Jackson Hole as well.  I anticipate the viewing of wildlife offspring like bison babies called “red dogs”, bear cubs, elk foes and moose cubs. 

Just because our name is Grand Victorian Lodge don’t let that fool you that we are a large chain hotel.  We are an eleven room bed and breakfast which is also a small boutique hotel.  We have classy decorations, spacious rooms, airy porches to breathe in the fresh mountain air, homemade breakfasts and cookies, homey atmosphere conducive to feeling right at home and opportunity to meet new friends or if desired you can hang out in your private room with bath.  Our uniquely decorated individual rooms allows for your choice of what appeals to you and your needs the most. 

May Special is two or more nights receive a 10% discount but you must call us at 800.584.0532 and mention the ad in order to receive the discount.  We reopen the Inn on May 1, 2013 so use this special time and price to enjoy peace and quiet plus beat the crowds.  We hope to see you soon…………God bless you all.

Howdy from Jackson Hole!  Getting more snow today but the ground cover comes to maybe a foot…….pretty sparse compared to other years.

We are gearing up with the greatest expectations of a fabulous season meeting and serving  you folks :-)   It won’t be long before the opening of the National Parks, Grand Teton and Yellowstone and the first sightings of wildlife is always so spectacular.  My husband and I hope to take a drive into the parks to spot those precious wildlife babies.  For those of you who have never been to Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks please allow plenty of time to take in the beauty at a leisurely pace.  I recommend to our guests staying with us that they can tour Grand Teton, lower half of Yellowstone and the historic town of Jackson Hole easily from our Inn.   Our bed and breakfast reminds you of home plus you can walk just 3 blocks to downtown Jackson.

Festivities like the Elk Fest in May draws crowds to shop for trophy elk horns.  WE open on May 1 and are offering a May special for any room two or more nights receive 10% off our early spring rates.  Make sure you call us at 800.584.0532 or 307.739.2294 to receive this fabulous discount or answer any questions you might have.  We look forward to helping you have a memorable experience here in this awesome beauty, wildlife and good old fashion western fun!!

A new year with anticipated opportunities of making new friends and seeing returned friends.   Brad and I have been traveling since end of November visiting family and friends.  Christmas was spent with two family members exchanging simple gifts but incredibly memorable.   We miss Jackson Hole and all the beautiful snow that has fallen….about a foot at this point.

To those guests who stayed with us this past week and knew of the arrival of our grandson on Oct. 3 at 11:13 pm.    His name officially is KEAGAN EARL LAMPPA …..his stats were 7 lbs. 4 oz and 21 inches long.  Darling baby boy, but of course!!   That makes three grandchildren for my son Todd and his wife Jennifer who live here in Jackson.  Brad and I are so blessed and fortunate to have our grandchildren so close by.   

October special has increased our business tremendously with 50% reduction in rates.  Please remember that the continental breakfast consists of hard boiled eggs, assorted muffins, cold/hot cereal, orange juice and coffee.   If you desire a hot full breakfast we would be happy to recommend a restaurant for you.

Not much time left before Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks close for the winter so try to visit soon.   Your bed and breakfast hosts,

Rejoice in the LORD always…………Brad and Nancy
