Location: Victor, Teton Valley, Idaho, USA (30mn to Jackson&Grand Targhee, 90mn to Yellowstone,2m Victor) View Map
Accommodations: Country House / Chateau, 5 Bedrooms + Office, 2 Baths (Sleeps 11)
Keywords: Log Home on 2.5 Acres
We have a beautifully furnished log home at AFFORDABLE RATES, situated at the base of the mountains on 2.5 acres adjacent to National Forests, in a quiet setting but close to everything.
The LOG HOME is 2200 square ft, and boasts five bedrooms , two bath, two and a half car garage, large south and west-facing decks, and windows overlooking a golf course and the mountains. We are in a rural setting on the sunny, west side of the Teton Range. We have a pond with waterfall and lots of open space with views. Swimming in the summer.
Bedrooms are set up with king bed in master, king bed and twin in large bedroom, 3 queens in remaining three rooms.
SUMMER: Imagine waking up to a Teton sunrise with horses running in the neighboring pastures and the tranquility of a truly private mountain setting. Then, waking up to the stillness of clean mountain air and beautiful southern exposure mountain views, with the abundance of lush vegetation and teeming wildlife.
Your only concern is to decide between a hike up Coal Creek to Mt. Taylor, a day fly fishing on the south fork of the Snake River, a mountain bike up Pole Canyon right from the house, or a day tour at Teton Village in Jackson Hole. Or, you might be more interested in a raft trip down the canyon of the Snake River, golf at one of the six local golf courses in the area, a horse back ride up Darby Canyon, or a day on a scenic drive through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
WINTER: Wake up in the morning and decide which place to ski based on the morning snow report. Equal distance to Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole Mtn Resort (30 min each). Or bring the skate skis or cross country skis and walk across the street to Teton Springs and ski their 10 K nordic track open to the public for free. Perhaps you like back country skiing and want to spend the day in some of the best backcountry terrrain in tetons just ten minutes from the house atop teton pass and Mt. Glory. Even snowshoeing just near the house up either Moose Creek or Game Creek. Then come back to the log cabin for a warm hot tub and drinks by the fire.
All of these activities are based from the comfort of a large but cozy log home offering a spacious living room with rustic hickory hardwood floors, bar, baby grand piano, fireplace and outdoor hot tub. Our large kitchen and atrium connect to the living room and offer great space for holiday parties. Spacious rooms with hand-peeled authentic log interiors make for private settings. Also a lovely bench seat window in the master offers a quiet resting spot to enjoy the waterfall view in the summer.
The large master bedroom with walk-in closet offers a double shower head, jacuzzi tub, and a travertine tile bath. Extra bathroom is comfortable and nicely appointed with granite counter top and double sinks. A spacious laundry room allows for convenient upkeep during your stay.
The house is smartly situated at the base of Teton pass on the Idaho side just half a mile from groceries, a quaint breakfast coffee shop, and banking in the town of Victor. Across the street is a 10K nordic track for winter skate skiing and cross country skiing. It is ten minutes to the top of Teton Pass for immediate back-country skiing access, just 30 minutes from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, 30 minutes to Grand Targhee ski area and 30 minutes to the Jackson town square for shopping and nice restaurants.
National Forest trails are biking distance away. World class guided fly fishing and horseback tours are also available. We are based at the gateway entrances to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and have the full scope of outdoor recreational activities and amenities to make your visit to the mountains memorable.
This home is ideal for those interested in coming to the mountains to get-away and be surrounded by nature and nestled near the forests of the Tetons. Mountain activities abound! Sorry no smoking and no pets. Serious inquiries only.

Our group of 5 spent the last week of the ski season in this beautiful, and excellently maintained house. We were able to easily access 2 ski areas. Everything was as good or better than described by the owners. The atmosphere inside is spacious, confortable and very easy to relax and kickback. We would return again anytime and highly recommend this home and location.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

We just spent the best 2 week vacation ever with our 6 member family at this beautiful home just off the Teton Pass in the heart of the Targhee National Forest. After a long day of hiking in the Tetons, we were grateful to arrive at our vacation home and soak in the pond or hot tub. We loved Victor, ID too, home of the Grand Teton Brewing Company where we met some nice people while enjoying a pint of beer. The nights here are spectacular. We spent many a night sitting on the deck star gazing. Ben and Willow Star are great folks with lots of knowledge about the area. We'll be back someday!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers.
