About this property
Fabulous Guest House with Swimming Pond and Gazebo - Near Rexburg
The Crain guest house is perfect for the rural Idaho experience and a quiet, comfortable place to chill. We are located in the country 2 1/2 miles east of Hwy 20 and 10 minutes north of Rexburg. The guest house has views of the Tetons, swimming hole, farm land, cows, hawks, and bald eagles. The property has plenty of space for parking trailers.
The guest house is the perfect home base for all of your southeast Idaho & Wyoming adventures. We are located 5 minutes from awesome fishing and bridge jumping; 10 minutes from Rexburg; 40 minutes from Island Park; 45 minutes from Idaho Falls; 70 minutes from West Yellowstone; and 75 minutes from Jackson Hole. The world famous St. Anthony Sand Dunes are only 10 minutes away!
Don't forget your swimsuit in the summer - we have a big swimming hole with an island, rope swing, paddle boat, paddle boards, and a sandy beach to relax on. The Ashton Reservoir is only 15 minutes away and is a quiet, beautiful waterway for boating, floating, or fishing. In the winter, our swimming hole is empty and great for snow sledding. For bigger sledding thrills, the St. Anthony Sand Dunes are only a few minutes away.
After your long day, relax on the couch or recliner and read a book or watch a movie. The kitchen is stocked so you can enjoy cooking meals at home. Or, you may eat at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, El Jaliciense, in St. Anthony. For dinner and a movie, Rexburg is a short drive away. Retire to bed in the quiet countryside and drift to sleep on memory foam while snuggled in a fluffy comforter.
If you need any ideas of where to play or relax, just ask us.! We have coolers, sleds, life jackets, paddle boards, and float tubes for your use. We are in the house nearby if you should need anything during your stay.
P.S. We strive to make the guest house a low allergen environment. No smoking or indoor pets are allowed; no air fresheners or scented candles. All linens are 100% cotton and washed in scent-free detergent; all-natural cleaning products are used to clean the house.

About the host
Hosted by Marvin and Misty Crain
Hi,
We are the Crain family. There is five of us and we enjoy the outdoors, riding toys with motors, reading books, fishing, swimming, cooking, and hanging out with family and friends. Marvin grew up in St. Anthony, ID and Misty is an implant from Southern California. For the past 18 years, friends and family have come stay with us to enjoy rural Idaho and its many activities and adventures. Several times throughout the year we have family and friends come from afar to visit us and enjoy Idaho. We decided to complete our shop and apartment project so we can offer the Crain Guest House to family, friends, and new acquaintances so they can have a quiet and private place to enjoy Idaho and the nearby National Parks. We decided to make this rental a small family business to help our children get ready for their future independence (and develop a greater work ethic). We are happy to share our guest house with you.

Why they chose this property
We decided to build a home in the Wilford, Idaho area because it is a quiet, safe, friendly, and awesome place to live. We love the property because it has clean water-fed swimming pond, dirt bike track, and lots of room to ride snowmobiles & cross-country ski. The sunsets are beautiful and the country roads are great to bike and walk. We are far enough out of town to feel 'free' to do what we want and not be pestered, but we are close enough to town for shopping and errands. We like where we live because we are close to several "day trip" activities we love to do: Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, skiing at Kelly Canyon and Grand Targhee, Island Park snowmobiling, floating the rivers, boating, fishing, hunting, canoeing, sand dunes, bridge jumping....so many things to do!
What makes this property unique
The guest house is on an upper level. We love the upper deck; this perch offers pretty views of the surrounding pasture and farm land. Our favorite view is out the dining window; you can see the Tetons, and it's fun to watch people playing in the pond. What we also like is even though the main house is next door, the guest house feels secluded. It is its own entity. We like the guest house's décor; it is comfortable, yet energetic. And, the soft and smooth rugs in the living room soothe your tired feet.
