Created by owner Wesley Edens—with the help of friends and co-owners Michael Novagratz, David Barry, and Randal Nardone—Caldera House blends contemporary European design with the spirit of the American West to create a posh, modern ski lodge. 

The impressive property which includes four 5,000-square-foot, four-bedroom suites, along with four 1,500-square-foot, two-bedroom suites is not only a place to stay, but a complete experience of high-end restaurants, bars, and even a locker room and ski shop for the outdoor enthusiasts. 

The Valles Suite radiates rustic luxury with warm textiles and accents, contemporary furnishings, a wood-burning fireplace, as well as various natural elements.

The warm and welcoming interiors carried throughout the complex are the collaboration of two award-winning design firms: Los Angeles based Commune, who led the design of the public spaces and two suites; and local studio Carney Logan Burke who designed six suites and the building architecture. Together, they have created a modern chalet that is the perfect stomping grounds for experiencing all of Jackson Hole in one all-inclusive stop.
