A week in Jackson Hole for eight people works out around $23,824 before flights — $1,006 a night for a place sleeping four, scaled for the group, plus $87 per adult per day for food. From Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle it is cheaper for a family of four to drive than to fly.
Lodging and food only. Seven nights, whole-property rental, all fees in.
| Group | Lodging | Food | Total | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 people | $7,042 | $2,436 | $9,478 | $2,370 |
| 8 people | $18,952 | $4,872 | $23,824 | $2,978 |
| 12 people | $25,919 | $7,308 | $33,227 | $2,769 |
Note the per-person column does not simply fall. A place sleeping four is the efficient unit; going to eight means changing property class, which costs more than double. Past eight it improves again — each additional person adds roughly half what they did over the first jump. The expensive step is condo to house, not the people you put in it.
Jackson Hole is dearest in June and cheapest in January — a 98% swing on the same property.
