Why the Owner Chose Driggs

This area of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana is just gorgeous. There are so many beautiful areas to visit - mountains, waterfalls, rivers, fields of wildflowers, throughout the summer, great snow all winter - you will want to be outdoors every day. Late spring is the best time to see the animals with their new offspring, and October brings the spectacular golden "quaking" leaves on the aspen trees.

A

Owner's Map of Driggs

We bought this cabin as a vacation get away for family and friends. Since then we have had the opportunity to live here full time for a year! Now we are working in California, but visit as often as we can. Our family uses the cabins often, so the kitchens are well equipped and the beds are comfy. jim does real estate consulting and management for Jones Lang LaSalle, and Ginger teaches workshops on Mail Art. Check out her website at bookjots.com. We love to hike and kayak and cook dinners for the family. We have two grown children who live in San Francisco and Oakland.

    • WE spent a week at Colter Cabin. The views are spectacular, it was so convenient to Jackson, Yellowstone, The Tetons and other interesting places. Colter Cabin is well cared for and delightful to visit.

    • This cabin was INCREDIBLE! It is in a rural area with a picture perfect view of the Grand Tetons from the front porch. The kitchen has great new appliances that make cooking meals convenient. We stayed there in the summer, so the drive to the eastern side and Jackson was very enjoyable. The cabin has all of the modern conveniences you would expect from an upscale resort, except for a TV, which actually was quite pleasant. This is definitely a place that will stay with you long after your stay. ;)
