For a place defined by some of America’s most majestic terrain, Wyoming’s Jackson Hole had humble beginnings. The grassy valley carved by the Snake River and completely surrounded by towering mountains was home to beaver trappers, mountaineers, and Native American peoples in the 1800s. Following the area’s designation as a national monument in 1948, it became the location of a scientific research center. Although it was a magnet for wildlife-viewing, the park seemed like the country’s best-kept secret. Ultimately, it evolved into a world-class recreational destination, known for sweeping natural beauty, exclusive resorts, and the planet’s largest herd of elk, which graze there year-round.
Opened in summer 2018, Caldera House offers considered luxury befitting such a grand environment. With the Teton Range to the west and the Gros Ventre Range to the east, every detail of the eight-suite escape takes inspiration from the view. With over $100M invested in building vision into reality, owner Wesley Edens enlisted friends (co-owners Michael Novogratz, David Barry, and Randal Nardone) and two award-winning design firms, Los Angeles-based Commune and Jackson-based CLB Architects, to follow the call of the wild.
