Prairie's End offers the best of both worlds: an exquisite, very Western home, along with complimentary access to a nearby indoor/outdoor swimming pool, fully equipped exercise facility, and one of the 50 top spas in the country as ranked by Conde Nast Traveler.
The centerpiece of the property is a weathered, 200-year-old barn that was moved to Wyoming from Ontario, and converted to a dazzling, open, sunlit house with the lofty aura of a church. The house faces north toward the Tetons, and its big wide windows embrace the view. Inside, sun gilds the smooth heart pine floors; the massive, rough-hewn barn beams are like the pillars and trusses of a rustic sanctuary. The heart of the house is a long, two-story great room, anchored on each end by a wood-burning stone fireplace and a sitting area; the dining table occupies the center. Huge twig chandeliers hang from the high wood ceiling. A bridge crosses the open space of the great room and connects the two sides of the top floor. Prairie’s End feels both old and modern, rustic and luxurious; it is a house full of color and light. There are leather couches, saffron walls, rural antiques, rough wood wainscoting, vivid oil paintings and striking sculptures.
The kitchen, with a Wolf four-burner gas range, is off to one side of the Great Room. A covered porch and open deck extend from the kitchen’s French doors for outdoor dining, entertaining and the simple enjoyment of the extravagant view. A library sits to the other side of the great room, while upstairs is a small, well-equipped office.
There are three bedrooms and a sleeping loft inside the main house of Prairie’s End. One guest room is on the ground floor, with a queen size bed and private bath; the rest are upstairs. The master has a king four-poster bed spread with a hand-blocked quilt; a gas fireplace warms the room and an old grandfather clock notes the hours with a mellow chime. The splendid, stone-floored master bathroom has a three-headed rainfall shower, a jetted tub and double sinks. The upstairs guest bedroom has a queen bed, and its own bathroom as well. There is a wonderful loft, used for hay storage long ago, and now a warm and welcoming room set high in the house, with twin beds and a second sleeping area with a pull-out couch and a television.
Tucked at the side of Prairie’s End is a romantic 1850s, one-bedroom cabin that was moved to its spectacular spot from West Virginia. The little cabin seems rooted in its grassy setting, and looks out far over the long green valley to the Tetons. The guest cabin is entirely up-to-date, with a full bath upstairs, and a sitting area with a wood stove downstairs, next to a tidy little kitchen. A path leads back to the main house from the cabin; and from there, the grand panorama of Jackson Hole stretches away. Moose, coyote, elk, eagle and fox cross the great valley, the mountains skim the big starry sky. There are endless opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and fishing around Prairie’s End, and the vibrant town of Jackson is just a short drive away.
