“People just love coming in here,” says Mountain Dandy owner Christian Burch, who curates his stylish home goods shop with a rugged men’s-club vibe. “It’s so warm and cozy, yet rustic.” Located just off Jackson Hole’s main square, the boutique offers a variety of artisan products for the home that embody the spirit of the American West. One of four Jackson storefronts owned by Burch and his partner, John Frechette, the 3,800-square-foot shop offers a vast variety of chic goods. Reimagined vintage furniture plucked from estate sales throughout the Midwest mingles with Mongolian cashmere blankets and sheepskin rugs, while smaller offerings from barware to coffee-table books to ceramics merrily share shelves with Cire Trudon candles, Tina Frey resin bowls and a thoughtful collection of Western-style goods. When Burch and Frechette entered the home goods space 10 years ago, they went with their gut rather than a business plan, recalls Burch. The result? A loyal following of locals, visitors and interior designers, and a selection well-worth checking out. “We stay away from trends and instead focus on what we would want to have in our own home,” shares Burch.
