“For my mom’s 70th we gave her a week in Jackson with five of her girlfriends. They said the house was so magnificent they simply enjoyed morning tea and afternoon wine on the porch, watching all the wild life and scenery.”

“Amangani was a spectacular experience. The location is fantastic and the home was exactly what we dreamed. The house sits seamlessly in the surroundings and the glass windows all around let in the landscape. The design is very contemporary, which we prefer, and the location on the butte makes you feel like you are in the center of Jackson. Plus, the Amangani Resort is amazing. We went at a perfect time: late-spring, early-summer, which is their slow season. The weather was great and there weren’t a lot of crowds. We went hiking in the Tetons and spent a day at Yellowstone, which was just teeming with wild life. Driving along the road was like a non-stop safari.

The day we visited Yellowstone National Park, we left our two-year-old son, Christopher, with a babysitter. When we returned, the babysitter told us Christopher wasn’t doing well, and in fact, he had come down with pneumonia. We called the Hosts, Dolly and Michelle, and they were on top of it. They gave us suggestions for doctors, made an appointment at the urgent care unit, and called throughout the rest of the trip to check on Christopher. Having Christopher be sick was the biggest challenge of the trip and it was such a nice save by the two of them. We were confident that Christopher was well taken care of and because we felt like we were at home anyway we didn’t have to cut the trip short.

Our experience with Quintess, LRW has been flawless and the Amangani trip totally justified our decision to join. Every step of the way we feel we made the right decision.”

“We just got back from a vacation in Jackson Hole, at the Amangani property. It was the best family vacation we have ever had. When you are at home, cooking together and eating in isn’t a big deal, but on vacation it tends to be a lot harder. When we were at Amangani, we cooked in four of the seven nights we were there. Plus, it changes the pace of the vacation. With the fully stocked kitchens, the kids can snack or eat whenever they want, which makes it feel more like home. We slow down and appreciate things. At the Quintess, LRW houses, cooking isn’t a chore — it’s an activity to be enjoyed and shared. We planned a day at Yellowstone National Park and the Host recommended we get a guide. We saw a grizzly bear with her cubs and there were about 300 bison walking next to the road. Those are memories I’ll have throughout my entire life. Back at the property it was so cool that the kids were swimming in the pool as I was sitting on the deck looking at the Tetons.”

“Once again the Quintess, LRW formula of choosing the best homes in the best locations has been achieved. The Amangani property exceeded all of our expectations and made for a wonderful vacation destination. We spent most nights soaking in the hot tub and playing foosball in the lower level game room while watching movies on the big screen TV. The mountain side setting along with breathtaking views was inspirational as I sipped my morning coffee. The mid-point location between the mountain and downtown Jackson Hole made for an easy commute both ways. We never got to take full advantage of the affiliation with the Amangani resort, but during our short tour of the resort for an aprés ski cocktail and shopping, we were treated as though we were staying at the resort. The home itself was a perfect layout for my guests and me. The only thing that was missing was a martini shaker! Dolly and Shawn were very accommodating during the initial walk thru and the entire week answering our questions and scheduling requested reservations for events and dinner. We also highly recommend the snowmobiling company, which was recommended by Quintess, LRW. They were extremely accommodating and very professional. We highly recommend their guide Drew Purst. He was so good on Saturday with our tour of Teton National Forest that we reserved him for our Teton Grande Hot Springs tour three days later. It helped that the skiing conditions were the best the mountain has had all year. The shopping in Jackson Hole was great. What a fun town! We had a fabulous meal the first night at Snake River Grille. The Rendezvous Bistro came in close second and the burgers at Billy’s were the best I’ve had ever. We also managed to take in the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, which is a must see. All in all I’d rate the trip a TEN. I’m looking forward to coming back again next year.”

“The main reason we joined the Club was as an attraction for our son and his family — we have three grandchildren: three, six and eight years old — to spend more time with us. Last year we went to Beaver Creek and Jackson Hole during ski season. The kids had never been skiing before and by the second day they were all skiing. In fact, my wife and I were getting ready to do a run down a Black Diamond at Jackson Hole and saw the two older kids getting off the lift with their ski class. We had even asked my son and his wife is they wanted to join us on the run and they passed. When we told the kids that they were skiing where their parents passed thinking it was too tough they thought it was so funny.”
