Bentwood Inn
Jackson, Wyoming, United States · Independent · Core Luxury
The Bentwood Inn in Wilson, Wyoming, was built in 1995 from 200-year-old pines the National Park Service harvested after Yellowstone's 1988 fires: trees that survived the flames but were too heat-stunted to live. Original owner Bill Fey named it for a twisted branch mounted over the door. Five lodge rooms sit among cottonwoods between Jackson and Teton Village, a few miles from Grand Teton's south entrance.

About Bentwood Inn
- The 1995 lodge was raised from 200-year-old Yellowstone pines the Park Service cut after the 1988 fires: they had lived through the burn but were too heat-stunted to keep growing.
- Original owner Bill Fey named the inn for a twisted branch the builder mounted over the front door.
- The main lodge holds five guest rooms, each with a fireplace and a private porch or balcony; a family wing brings on-site capacity to about 24.
- It sits on three acres of cottonwoods in Wilson, five miles from Teton Village, downtown Jackson, and the south entrance to Grand Teton National Park.
History

Original owner Bill Fey named it for a twisted branch mounted over the front door.
The main lodge offers five guest rooms with fireplaces and private porches or balconies; a family wing brings total capacity to around 24 guests. The three-acre site among cottonwoods sits between Jackson and Teton Village, near Grand Teton National Park. It is listed with Preferred Hotels' Beyond Green collection.
