From Boots to Bespoke: Our Stay at The Cloudveil in Jackson
There’s something about Jackson that feels like the last frontier — wild, unapologetic, a little untamed — yet also like somewhere you could slip into and stay awhile.
Rugged edges and warm welcomes. Boots on the porch, fireplaces glowing, that small-town heartbeat pulsing beneath the big-sky backdrop. A place where adventure waits right outside the door, but familiar faces, good coffee, and that easy end-of-day exhale keep you grounded. That’s exactly how we felt on our first stay at The Cloudveil — welcomed, settled, and somehow instantly at home in a place that still feels thrillingly wild at the edges.
Rooms + Lobby: Western soul, modern polish
Step inside The Cloudveil and you’re wrapped in that mountain-modern warmth that feels inviting from the first moment — stone walls, a crackling fire, and a lobby designed for lingering, storytelling, and sinking into a sofa after a day outside. Natural textures — leather, wood, stone — ground the space, while art and thoughtful design details gently nod to the heritage and wildness of the West. The kids took full advantage of post-adventure energy and hot cocoa in hand, and it all just worked — relaxed, elevated, effortless. Upstairs, the rooms land in that just-right sweet spot of cozy and cool. Clean lines, raw-edge wood, plush throws you immediately wrap yourself in. It’s the kind of space where you kick off your dusty boots, sink into crisp sheets, and still feel connected to the mountains — just with better lighting, soft robes, and way fewer pine needles
Basically? It’s like your cowboy boyfriend went to design school… and absolutely crushed the final portfolio review.
The Location: In the heart of Town Square
One of The Cloudveil’s biggest draws is its spot right on Jackson’s Town Square — you walk out the front door and you’re basically in the middle of it all. Elk-antler arches overhead, galleries and shops in every direction, the soft buzz of a town that runs on coffee, boot dust, and mountain stories. Grab a latte across the street, wander through boutiques, or linger in the square as live music drifts out of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. And when you’re ready to trade town energy for wild awe, you’re a quick hop to Grand Teton National Park and an easy drive to Yellowstone — where steam rises from geysers like a scene from another planet and bison casually wander like they own the place. Because they kind of do.
It’s that sweet, rare balance of convenience and wilderness — a stay where you can browse art in the morning, spot wildlife by lunch, and be back in town just in time for cocktails and a cozy fireplace.
Why Jackson? A Destination for Adventurers
Jackson isn’t just another mountain town. Its history is rooted in trappers, ranchers, and adventurers who saw possibility in the wild, untamed beauty of the Tetons. By the early 20th century, it became a basecamp for explorers and, eventually, a beloved home for skiers, conservationists, and artists. Today, Jackson is one of the country’s most coveted destinations for adventure travelers. In the winter, skiers and snowboarders carve through legendary powder at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. In the summer, hikers, bikers, climbers, and river rafters descend for long days on trails and water. And year-round, the backdrop remains the same: a dramatic slice of the American West where adventure is never more than a few steps away.
The Cloudveil isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a feeling, a rhythm, an experience that mirrors Jackson itself: rugged yet elevated, rooted in Western spirit but warm with modern comfort.
It’s where muddy boots meet polished wood floors, where a day spent chasing trails or wildlife rolls seamlessly into a slow evening by the fire with a craft cocktail (or hot cocoa, depending on the day’s energy). Pair sunrise hikes and long scenic drives with cozy robes, incredible service, and design that makes you look around and think, someone really cared about every detail here. If you’re chasing mountain moments but still love a beautifully designed place to come back to — the kind of spot that becomes tradition, where you build memories and return year after year — this is your place.
