So much to do….so little time

That seems to be the case for most tourists when they come to visit Jackson Hole.   Grand Teton Park and Yellowstone alone offers so much to see and do but when visiting Jackson,  activities abound !  Biking, horseback riding, golfing, fly fishing, rodeos, whitewater rafting, float trips, hot air balloon rides, chuckwagon shows, musicals, concerts……..the list is endless.  My guests are usually tired from driving in the parks or traveling all day to get here so the easy walking downtown is just perfect for stretching their legs, breathing in the  mountain air then come back for a good night’s sleep.   They wake up to the smells of good coffee and breakfast cooking.  We served blueberry pancakes with ham slice this morning and no one left hungry.

The afternoon cookies are almost gone by evening each day.  The cookies are enjoyed while guests take off for the afternoon or can be enjoyed on our airy front or back porches.  Guys seem to really love our molasses cookies and have asked for the recipe.  We love making old fashion cookies that remind you of your grandma’s house.

Fall is just around the corner and that is my favorite time of the year.  The weather is cooler but still sunny, gorgeous and the spotted colors on the mountains sure can be breath taking.   Traffic is slightly less in September but the parks are open and wildlife roaming.  Offering a September special  ……10% off for two or more nights.  Make the selection of your favorite room on the website then book online or call me to receive the September discount.

Good night and see you soon.  Your host,

Nancy

REPEAT GUESTS/FRIENDS

Good Afternoon Everyone……..receiving summer rain today but it isn’t stopping my guests from enjoying their day, perhaps it will present opportunities to see more wildlife.  It has been many weeks since we have had rain so everything will be lush and green after this nouishment.  Weather is to turn nice again by the end of the week.

It is so wonderful to see my annual guest/friends…..nice to see you Larry, Leslie and Lola from San Francisco.   July was a record breaking month for the last 3-4 years, so very thankful.  What a great area to break away from the hustle and bustle of life and breathe in the crisp clean mountain air.  When you come to visit remember our altitude is at 6200 ft  here in Jackson Hole so make sure you drink lots of water while here.  Yellowstone is higher still.

My grandchildren Annika, 6 and Bridger, 2 assisted me checking in guests last night.   The guests got a big kick out of them following me while I took the guests to their room.  Annika and Bridgers parents, Todd and Jennifer, help me part-time with the Inn.  Todd does repairs and Jennifer cleans rooms……so it is a family run operation of which I am so thankful.

Well, I better get ready for my guests checking in this afternoon.  Have a wonderful day and may our paths cross someday soon.

Your Victorian Host,

Nancy

Fun Activities in Jackson Hole

Tagged As: | Categories: Uncategorized | Comments Off

HI….last Sunday began the week long Teton Co. Fair and for the first time in 8 years I will be attending it with my grand-daughter, Annika.  I have always loved fairs since I was a child so this will bring out the child side of me, can’t wait !!  The Music Festival is still going on.  I attended a month ago “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” at the historic J.H. Playhouse just two blocks from us.  Several of my guests attended the rodeo tonight which is held Wed and Sat.  Another amazing fun activity is the Bar J Chuckwagon Supper and Show which is a great bargain for the best cowboy singing on this side of the country.  The most asked question when guests check in is where is the best restaurant and I give out my top four restaurants which are all walking distance from here.  Speaking of walking,  everyone loves the idea of my Inn being located in town where you can walk to best restaurants and most activities without the worry of finding a parking spot which is tough in the high season.

Thought I would just let you know the goings on in case you were wondering and you know I am just a phone call or email away if you wish to ask more questions.   Teton Park is just 20 minutes away and Yellowstone is an hour and half away.  See you soon…….Your host in Jackson……….Nancy

Cookie Recipe

Howdy Everyone…. Been having so much fun meeting people all over the world.  Many foreign guests just love bed and breakfasts and am finding that Americans are turning to bed and breakfasts for a more memorable and friendly experience.  I probably have mentioned before that that is the reason why I love owning a B and B so much because of the warmth, kindness and care of all my guests.  Thank you to all who have stayed with me so far, you have encouraged me with your kind words and hugs.   I just had a nice guest who is a doctor ask for our recipe for the molasses spice cookies…I was more than happy to oblige.   I just put out a wide variety of cookies………chocolate chip ( can never go wrong ), snickerdoodle ( remind you of Grandma ), vanilla oatmeal ( taste like coconut ), molasses ginger ( good for you ), peanut butter ( melt in your mouth ), red velvet and oatmeal raisin.  In fact, I am having tea with a peanut butter cookie while I write to you all.  The next cookie that we will make is chocolate crinkles….anyone hear of them?  My mom use to make those for Christmas time.

Before I sign off I wanted to mention that my website mentions two specials coming up this fall.  Check it out and come see me :-) )   Remember I am closing Nov. 1 to May 1, 2012.    I will be posting my 2012 rates real soon…………watch for them !!!!

Till we meet again in Jackson Hole……………..Your host and friend……………Nancy

ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS

Good Morning All,

July has been so busy, thank God, but wanted to encourage you there is still time to enjoy the awesome beauty of mountains, rushing rivers and bounty of wildlife.  Guests are loving the whitewater and scenic trips that takes in a different perspective of all the beauty that surrounds us at every turn no matter what road you take.  I might suggest taking a bike ride around town or up to the Teton Park.  The Teton Park is only 20 minutes away and Yellowstone Park southern entrance is an hour and half away.   Much hiking to do but would advise to take bear spray for safety measure.   Weather has been amazing…. sunny and 80′s, sometimes 70′s which is refreshing for those of you who are suffering from intense heat and humidity.

I have guests who have been returning every year for about as long as I have been in Jackson Hole which is 8 years.   It just thrills my soul when guests who are friends return for a visit.   Cookie and Jim from Colorado, Alan and Sue from Georgia……..thank you for coming to see me.  You encourage me more than you know.

As an innkeeper I always want to know if there is anything that I can do to improve your stay so please let me know for I care about you as a person and desire in my heart that your visit with us is memorable.  The four guests who are eating breakfast and visiting presently are having a wonderful time of engaging with each other.  Speaking of breakfast, we served homemade banana pancakes with toasted pecans/walnuts with a slice of ham as an entree.  We start each daily breakfast with an handmade yogurt parfaits.   Each breakfast is homemade from scratch, we do not purchase prepackaged preservative breakfasts.

Need to go now……….have a great day…..hope to meet you one day.

Your host………..Nancy

Good Morning…..we are in full swing of the high season and I love my time with guest.  As I mentioned in previous post I was going to have Scott play and sing this morning during breakfast and as before the people loved it.   No one has ever had live music during breakfast so it was fun to be a part of their first experience.

Another sunny and warm day today and guests are gone for the day visiting Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks.  The town of Jackson harbors quaint shops and unique local artwork.

Tomorrow’s breakfast is a our breakfaast casserole with english muffins and usual yogurt parfaits.  Yummy!!!!

Until next time when we meet,

Nancy

Just wanted to let you know that we are experiencing another beautiful day in Jackson Hole.  One breakfast seating of guests just left and am waiting for the next seating.  Guests from all over the country.  We served a Western Country Scramble with english muffins, yogurt parfaits and homemade muffins.  Had a young couple from Ohio staying to celebrate his birthday, a gift from his mom.

Speaking of special occasions we seem to be a favorite destination for honeymoons and anniversaries as well.

July 1  kicks off the busiest month of the year in Jackson Hole…..the weather is the warmest and travel is at peak.  Most of my guests assume that winter is the biggest season but the major ski hill is in Teton Village whereas the town of Jackson Hole is a the favorite destination for the summer with the close proximity to Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks.

Well, it is time for another good cup of coffee so will keep in touch real soon.  Any questions feel free to call me at 800.584.0532.

SUMMER IN JACKSON HOLE

Howdy Everyone……..

It was an incredible day of gorgeous blue skies, warm temps but not too hot and people from all over the world are arriving to enjoy the historic town of Jackson, Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks.

July is proving to be a busy month for me here at the Grand Victorian Lodge and August is starting to book more as well.  I have a September special for those of you who enjoy the fall colors and cooler temps.  Two day minimum and receive a 10% discount off any room which includes an homemade seated breakfast.  In order to receive this special discount you must call at 800.584.0532 and mention this ad.

What a great destination for wildlife and beauty lovers.  It is so interesting that many guests haven’t been to the parks since they were a child traveling with their parents.   There is so much one can do while taking in the beauty like scenic float trips, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, wildlife expeditions and park tours to name a few.  I had some guests who were here five days and they had seen every wildlife including a grizzly (my favorite) while on an all day wildlife tour.  The town is hustle and bustle of people enjoying the retained western flavor.  We do have the Music Festival coming up as well as the County Fair.  There is never a lack of something to do here in the historic town of Jackson.

Well, I have a fresh strawberry/rhubarb pie baking in the oven and need to check on it so hope to see you on the trail as the cowboys use to say and do hope to meet one day soon.

Your Victorian Host,

Nancy

Breakfast Serenade

It’s me again and wanted to tell you about our breakfast time this morning.  A musician from Michigan walked into my front door about a week ago and I decided to try him out this morning during breakfast service and the guests loved the music while they visited with one another.  His name is Scott and he sang and played the guitar choosing some nostalgic love songs.  So how many of you have ever had live music during breakfast not to mention the candles I light each morning?  The next time Scott is scheduled to sing is July 7 since I have a full house the night before.  Great fun!  Special unique memories at the Grand Victorian Lodge in Jackson Hole.

Another beautiful day in Jackson…….your host…….Nancy

Good Morning Everyone,

This is so fascinating that I had to share it with you.  Yesterday morning I was visiting with a couple from California, Jay and Helen, about traveling and was discussing my trip to Stockholm, Sweden about 25  years ago.  Last night we had a family of six checkin and guess where they were from….yes, Stockholm.  Isn’t tha

t amazing?  I just posted a few days ago about my guests from all over the world and behold another country found us.  We are serving for breakfast this morning a fantastic western omelette with three different kinds of sweet peppers and homemade banana everything muffins and the daily staple of fresh yogurt parfaits.

Weather is another beautiful sunny day after an all night summer rain.  Everything is so fresh and green.  Those of you who are suffering with intense heat would enjoy the cool and comfortable temperatures perfect for being outside and taking a tour into Yellowstone and Grand Teton Parks where the buffalo roam plus other majestic wildlife.  There are quite a few wildlife babies….the bison young ones are nicknamed “red dogs” because of their reddish coats.  I have seen every kind of wildlife in the 7 plus years that I’ve been here except for a typical grizzly bear.  I have seen at a very long distance a blond grizzly which I never knew existed.

Those of you who are still deciding on where to stay in Jackson Hole this summer probably shouldn’t delay too long for July and first half of August are considered high season for the historic town of Jackson.  Grand Victorian’s location is so ideally located because of the convenience of walking to the town square, best restaurants and of course don’t forget the shopping at the quaint stores and shops.  The location is also quiet and a quick drive to the airport and national parks.

So look forward to meeting new friends and if you don’t stay with us may your visit in Jackson Hole be filled with special memories.

Your host at the Grand Victorian…………Nancy
