River Hollow is a fairy-tale-like log house in a forest of cottonwoods, where mountains are glimpsed through a fringe of trees. This is a magical place, and the owner’s welcoming spirit can be felt within: in the striking oils and antiques, in the fireplace modeled on an ancestral Scottish hearth, in the intriguing collection of books on the shelves. A sunken kitchen has a dark blue ceramic Aga stove and an ample counter that is at table-height for people in the adjoining two-story Great Room. A music room with piano, an intimate, cheery solarium, a reading corner, an office and a full bath are also on the first floor. A lovely glass-enclosed walkway off of the kitchen leads to a heated garage, a light-filled game room with a ping-pong table, and a wonderful, fully-outfitted two-bedroom apartment. One bedroom in the apartment has a queen bed, the other two twins, and in the living room there is a large day bed that can easily accommodate another guest. The apartment also has a full dining table and an efficient little kitchen.
On River Hollow’s second floor are three light-filled bedrooms: one a master suite with a carved-wood canopy bed, double writing desks, a balcony and a luxurious bathroom with soaking tub; the other two perfect for children, with built-in bunk beds and a shared bath. Outside, rocking chairs on the long back porch look out to five wooded acres of the property, where moose and fox are familiar visitors. A few minutes’ walk takes you to the three-mile Snake River levee; while a short drive gets you to either Jackson or Teton Village. As sumptuous, central and private as a house can be. |
