Wildlife abounds in all seasons, wolves, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, elk and deer are just some of our local residents.
The group log home (The Big House) is a true rocky mountain rustic home originally built for a ranching family. The history of this property goes back farther than statehood and is a hold out from the US Forest Service when creating the Shoshone National Forest. The property is one of the few non-Forest Service Lease properties in the area. The cabin right next to the house was originally built in 1916. The Kitchen area of the home was built some time before WWII and was for a time the original cabin. We have saved some old Tie Hack era cabins, some were too far gone and we are trying to save one more that has been hiding in the aspen trees for years (These will not be living space but will remain living history).
The home now consists of a double size step down living room with a large stone fire place (wood provided), satellite TV, Two sets of furniture and large picture windows overlooking the Upper Wind River and wetland meadows as well as Lava Mountain. In an open format the dining room has a 6 to 8 place dining table and chairs aside French doors looking to the north lawn. A small covered stone porch creates the main entry to the house. The kitchen is fully equipped with a four burner stove and oven, two bay sink, refrigerator and microwave and two coffee makers as well as an old fashioned wood stove with bread oven and seating for up to 10 persons. Cabinets are many. All dishes, pots and pans are available. We have just installed a large camp charcoal grill near by. A pantry is located just off the kitchen. Plenty of closet space is located at the bottom of the stairs. The upstairs has four bedrooms with a mix of bunk beds, twin and full beds and a queen bed. Closets in each room.

Why the Owner Chose Dubois
A unique area surrounded by National Forest. A quiet location near National Parks, Alpine Lakes, rivers and streams and incredible views with easy highway and snowmobile trail access. Wildlife is also a big attraction. The Winter, Summer and Fall months are an outdoor recreationist's paradise. Spring time is our quiet time and we enjoy watching all of life return from the throws of Winter. The weather can be very unpredictable but you are more than welcome to join us. Services are limited in the area during April. It's a great time to do some thinking and to experience nature's yearly rebound. Spring is the quietest time of year except for the calls of the wild when the river comes alive.
The Unique Benefits at this Group Log Home
Solitude is a great pleasure and the amenities offered are here with you. If you do not feel like leaving you have most everything within walking distance. Relax and read a book, or go visit the National Parks. Shop in Jackson Hole, go fishing or simply enjoy a cook out or camp fire. The guests that frequent the property are also very helpful and may even take you fishing in some little known places that they have come to love over the years. In snowmobile season you may find someone to ride with that knows more about the area and can show you some popular or not so popular areas to ride. The people here know the area and can recommend things to do or places to see that are unique to the area.
Walk to Full Service Bar and Restaurant serving Hand Crafted American Cuisine
Owner's Map of Dubois
Growing up in a small ski resort community and living in Florida for many years, I have come to know the resort and food service industry and understand the importance of great customer service. We like to be remembered and revisited and become friends with our clients/ guests. We have many repeat guests during the Summer, Fall and Winter months. I love the outdoors for many reasons and I can walk out my front door and see some of the most beautiful views in the nation without leaving my property. If I do go somewhere I am still surrounded by the incredible views for miles around. I enjoy all of the seasons for all the their differences and outdoor opportunities.
