WILDCAT INN AND TAVERN

The Wildcat Inn and Tavern offers 10 air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, each including a sofa bed, dining area, and wardrobe. Rooms are decorated with themed touches, such as a pair of wooden skis and a Flexible Flier sled or a set of 1940s wooden shaft golf clubs. The Superior Double Room adds a separate living area, while the Standard Double Room provides a cozy sitting room with a table and chairs.

The on-site Tavern serves dinner with a menu that includes a variety of options, accompanied by live music most nights of the week. Tuesday nights feature open-mic night, and trivia nights challenge guests with difficult questions. A garden at the back provides outdoor seating with a fire pit, where guests gather in the summer for drinks and music under the stars.

Located in the quiet Jackson Loop, the hotel is 3.7 km from Story Land Amusement Park and 12 km from Mount Meander, with Mount Washington 32 km away. Jackson X-C, a cross-country ski center, is a short stroll from the inn, offering winter trails. Echo Lake State Park is 15 minutes away by car, and Mount Madison hiking trails are 30 minutes away.

The hotel provides free parking on site and street parking, along with a garden and outdoor furniture for guest use. Coffee and tea are available all day in the tavern, and the property has a fireplace in the common area. There is no elevator, but the staff are known for their attentiveness, offering warm blankets in the garden on cool evenings.

The hotel is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their dogs for an additional fee. Family rooms are available, and the inn's location near Story Land makes it a convenient base for family outings. Children can enjoy the open spaces of the garden, while the tavern's entertainment is geared toward adults in the evening.
