SAM Magazine-Driggs, Id., Nov. 7, 2007-Grand Targhee Resort has purchased new employee housing just north of town here, in the Buffalo Valley Condominiums. The 16 three-bedroom, two-bath units are fully furnished and contain a washer/dryer and central vac system. Monthly rents start at $300 per employee and include Wi-Fi Internet service. Both single- and double-occupancy bedroom options are available.

Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Smoking is prohibited, as are pets (exceptions are made for special service animals). An onsite employee housing manager is available for maintenance needs and will also act as liaison between employee residents and the resort.

"We're so thrilled with our new employee housing and what it means for all of our staff, especially for new recruits who can now enjoy a seamless transition into their Teton Valley lifestyle. The quality of this employee housing definitely sets a high standard for the industry; it's a terrific benefit for the resort and particularly for our staff," said Karen Cameron, director of human resources at Grand Targhee.

One other thing: Targhee provides shuttle service between the resort and the nearby towns of Driggs and Victor; this will now serve the employee housing complex as well.
