JACKSON HOLE

TOP WAYS TO SAVE MONEY

RENT A CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE  INSTEAD OF A HOTEL ROOM.
Jackson Hole condo prices run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but
over a week’s stay you’ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four
can easily save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and even
more at lunch.

BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO COST.
Three and four bedroom town homes can be rented for approximately
the same cost as a nice one-bedroom condo. Bring along friends or
another family to split the accommodation cost.

VISIT
JACKSON HOLE BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND OR AFTER
THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. May and September are the  best times
to visit. During these months the weather is perfect and crowds are
nonexistent.

CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many
Jackson Hole condo owners
rent by owner, meaning you’ll save an average of 25%. This is the
normal percentage charged by rental management companies to “rent”
individual condos. Plus, many management companies are now
tacking on additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside
to renting by owner is that most do not accept credit cards and may not
be able to respond quickly to maintenance issues. There are several
reputable websites listing condos for rent by owner, including www.
vrbo.com and www.greatrentals.com.

DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many
Jackson Hole
restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this time period. Check
the local paper and the free newspapers for special offers and
coupons.

CHECK OUT PRICELINE IF YOU NEED A SHORT-TERM HOTEL
ROOM- Several hotels are listed on Priceline, but be very careful when
bidding or you might end up in an undesirable area. Check out
informational websites like www.betterbidding.com for information on
how to bid.

FILL UP WITH GAS BEFORE YOU GET TO -Tourist destinations
historically have some of the highest gas prices in the nation. Fill up
before you get there.

EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most  
Jackson Hole
restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their dinners. Also
be aware the wait to get into restaurants at night during the busy
season can be quite long.
