About this property

Summer Retreat - 5 Acre paradise Close to everything!

This home has the Jackson Hole Trifecta - Mountain views, forest setting, and spring-fed stream that attracts wildlife and waterfowl all year long.

Best of all, it is set on 5 acres and bordered by undeveloped forest, yet is only 1 mile from Wilson downtown. Convenient location just off the Village Road. 10 minutes to Jackson or Teton Village. Just down the street to the Pathways Bike Path, which connects you to hundreds of miles of paved trails throughout the community and park systems.

Whether you are seeking a quiet mountain retreat with abundant wildlife-watching or an active, sporty playground, you will love this home and it's setting.

This home rests next to a private stream where elk, moose, deer, herons, sandhill cranes, eagles, and hawks love to visit. Breathtaking views from every room will mesmerize you.

A Modern kitchen awaits you - an induction stove for perfect, even temperatures, dual convection ovens, farmhouse sinks, appliances and kitchen tools, and a well-stocked kitchen, and spacious quartz countertops. You will not be making trips to the store to ensure you have tools, pans/pots/baking sheets, or measuring cups to make your favorite dishes. Best of all, you will cook with a magical view!

The home's large deck and outdoor space houses a gas grill, table seating for 6, and plenty of built in seating. EV charger on-site for electric vehicles.

For our "homebody" guests, take in the views both north (of the Tetons from the living and dining room) and south of our private spring-fed stream from the kitchen and family room. Many a guest has been surprised by moose and elk casually strolling past the window while drinking their morning coffee.

The combination living and dining room feature a wood burning fireplace and beautiful views of the Tetons, Rendezvous, Glory Bowl and the meadows.

The master bedroom has king sized bed (new luxury mattress 2024), en-suite with an oversized soaking tub and shower.

Two Guest bedrooms have 1 queen or 2 full-length twin beds and generous closet space (new luxury mattresses 2024). Bathrooms have additional built-in heaters to provide additional cozy comfort. Enjoy a show on the flat screen SMART tvs or out the window, where there’s a view of the stream all types of wildlife are known to visit.

The laundry room has energy efficient washer and dryer, detergent and other necessities. Heat throughout home is baseboard.

New Bike Pathways access 2024 begins 1/2 mile down our street. The home is located 10 minutes from either Teton Village or the town of Jackson.

A Perfect Place to Stay!

Great location a short drive from GTNP, Teton Village and the town of Jackson. The house is clean, spacious, extremely comfortable and well stocked. Most importantly, it is situated in a quiet spot, with mountain views out the front and beautiful wildlife and bird viewing out the back. Owners very helpful and attentive.

White Christmas, 2018

My family thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday in this wonderful vacation home. This was our fourth Christmas in Jackson and by far our best accommodations. It was everything we could have asked for, and more. The location was perfect for us. We had privacy in our little slice of paradise, while also being convenient to town, grocery stores, restaurants and to Teton Village. The setting offers spectacular views in every direction - including a beautiful sunrise on Grand Teton. Nature abounds and we saw deer, moose, ducks, eagles and even an ermine! The home is beautifully and comfortably furnished and very well stocked with supplies. I loved that there were already “staples” available and that I could leave things I bought and didn’t use! The kitchen has updated appliances and every utensil you could possibly need. We easily cooked many meals including a nice Christmas Eve dinner. There was plenty of room for our family to congregate and also room if you wanted some quiet time. Katie is a delight to work with and made us feel right at home. I hope to get back soon!

Best Jackson Hole stay yet

I have been coming to Jackson Hole for many years and usually stayed at condos or other developments along the Village Road. This time, I chose a house, hoping to get a bit more breathing space and views. What a fantastic choice to stay at this home! It's located midway between the Village and town of Jackson, about 10 minutes to each. I spent a lot of time on the paved bike trail, which I picked up just down the road. From the front windows the views were unobstructed full Teton range, from 3 peaks to the north, all the way south. From the back, my family and I could not believe the regular stream of wildlife. Often we watched from the master bedroom windows - moose, elk, deer, ducks, birds, eagles. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including staples in the pantry. Fortunately we checked the kitchen before making a grocery store run and didn't have to buy the many things that rentals often lack. There is a huge countertop and seating along it so others can keep the cook company. this area also opens to the back yard views which is where we saw most of the animals. There are virtually no neighbors nearby. There are 2 sitting areas so the family could do different games or tv shows without bothering the others who preferred to read. The home has a linen service, sheets, towels, etc. All appliances are new, tvs and smart tv to watch, but we were pretty busy and spent our time on the deck cooking out and listening to the frogs and crickets at night. We can't wait to get back. The owners were very responsive and seemed willing to help us with whatever we asked. We'll be back.

Perfect mountain retreat, had awesome views and all I hoped for in Jackson!

My friend and I enjoyed this cozy 3 bedroom home. We arrived to find an immaculate home, ready to move in with a complete coffee service prepared for the next morning. We unpacked and relaxed. Our views were spectacular. In the front we looked at the Tetons, in the back we watched moose, elk, deer, hawks, and a huge barn owl through 3 large picture windows. It was a great stay and we look forward to a return visit next fall. Thanks to our hosts, Katie and Ed.

Great House, Great Location, Lots Of Widlife!

House is very well maintained. Great location. Convenient to Wilson, Teton Village and Jackson. Beautiful backyard with lots trees and wildlife. Teton views from the living room. House is located in a very quiet and private area. Master bedroom has large picture windows. We saw lots of wildlife in backyard and even outside Master windows; Moose, Elk, Deer, Sand Hill Cranes, Geese and Ducks. The owners are great to work with. I highly recommend this house!

Beautiful, peaceful yet central location with amazing wildlife

My family and I (2 children aged 8 and 10) loved our stay in this home. The home is cleverly designed to fit into the landscape around it - and takes advantage of a meadow and stream on one side of the house and great views of the mountains on the other side. Every time I looked out of the window I felt like I would see some incredible wildlife - and lots of times we did. We saw moose nearly every day, deer one day and elk another. I also saw a Great Gray Owl as well as a big heron. The location of the house is also great for exploring the Jackson Hole area. The house is just outside Wilson which has restaurants and a small grocery store. Jackson is about 15-20 minutes away and has everything you could need. The ski resort is also close by - and we enjoyed the summer activities on offer there. The Teton National Park is very easy to access from the house - and offers great hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities. The house itself is very comfortable. Plenty of room for a family of 4 - and I would say would suit a larger family or 3 couples as there are 3 good sized bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked and all appliances worked well. The owners also left hotel style toiletries in the bathrooms which was appreciated. Although the house is set in a largish piece of land, and has a deck, it does not have a garden as such - the grass is left to grow tall - so it isn't that easy for young children to play outside. We had a fantastic week at this property and would love to stay there again in the future.

Ideal vacation retreat

My brother and my dad and I rented this home for a week in July and used it as a base camp to explore the area. The owners went above and beyond in all respects to ensure we had everything we needed. The kitchen is well-stocked with culinary tools and we enjoyed the use of a spotting scope and several books for the area. Oh, and we had several moose stop by and hang out in the back yard. Just a wonderful home and we were really grateful for the extra attention. I'd go back tomorrow!

Family visit

My husband and I stayed here for a week. I loved the location as wildlife was seen very close to the house almost every day. (I learned to always carry my camera.) Wilson is a beautiful area with wildlife and the house has wonderful views of the Tetons, yet close to the town square for shopping and great restaurants. A lot of thought was put into the house to accommodate a family for a short or extended stay. I definitely would recommend for all to visit......especially if you want to see a bull Elk with 5 female (cows) (in mating season now) walking by the house and a huge moose strolling by the house windows on their way to nearby Snake River. And what an experience to hear the bull Elk "bugling" to his cows ... at night... to get their attention. Worth the trip. Enjoy.

Family Vacation

We had a great vacation at Katie and Ed's home. It was really perfect for us in every way. We loved the wildlife that came around the house (moose, elk, ducks, etc.). The house was clean and well furnished with all the necessary supplies. It is so close to Jackson Hole, Wilson and Grand Teton that we went to all three almost each day. We also used Brushbuck tours for our wildlife guides to GT and Yellowstone and that was incredible as well. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute! We will definitely recommend to all our friends!

Best Family Vacation Ever

My wife and I had stayed at a resort in Teton Village our first time to Jackson Hole and were so overwhelmed by the beauty of the area that we knew we had to bring the whole family the next time. The only problem was that we're a family of five and logistically, just didn't make sense to try to hotel it. It's rare that vacations help a family grow closer, but this home definitely did it for us! Because of the layout, there was no "caving" with kids behind closed doors, but all of us together in the main room with views of the Teton mountain range out the window as we shared breakfast or dinner together. There were the family pool tournaments that inevitably ended in laughter at our lack of prowess as well as the amazement we shared about the wildlife that make their home nearby. Elk, mama and baby moose, and deer were an almost daily experience that always took our breath away. We probably would have seen more, but we weren't in Jackson Hole to stay inside everyday! The house is perfectly located for day trips to fly fish cutthroat trout in the Snake River, drives to nearby Jackson or hikes in Grand Teton National Park. A great place to stay!!

Absolutely Perfect

If this house had a name, Absolutely Perfect would be most apt! The view, the wildlife, the accommodations, the privacy yet accessibility to nearby sights, and the care and concern of the hosts, were all more than we expected. To be able to feel like you are sitting in your own home and enjoy such beautiful views of the Tetons and the abundant wildlife is our idea of Paradise. We saw a moose twice and deer several times, but our greatest wonder was the herd of elk that came right in front of the house - 3 different times! There were 20-30 each time. We also became rather attached to a pair of Canadian Geese and looked forward to seeing them several times each day. They seemed to be very much at home in the stream behind the house. Because of the heavy snow that still covered much of Yellowstone, we did not see the typical wildlife there, but we had an abundance to view when we returned to the house. The house was so very well equipped with everything we needed. We have often stayed in VRBO's, and the first order of business is usually a trip to a nearby store for soap, paper towels, etc. Not so here - everything was there, with an encouraging word to use what was needed. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need for cooking and/or baking. There were plenty of extra towels and linens. There were even toiletry items, in case you forgot anything essential! I could go on and on about this property. As I said -"Absolutely Perfect". I would definitely recommend it, and hope to be able to return soon. Thank you, Katie and Ed!

The Perfect Christmas

We stayed over Christmas 2013 and the entire family had lots of fun. The highlight of the trip was having a mother and baby moose visit the home. The fireplace always had plenty of wood and the owners were more than accomidating to our requests. Highly recommend and will stay here again!

Wilson/Jackson Hole, WY family vacation home

My wife and I spent a wonderful week with our adult children in this secluded, although close to everything in Jackson and Teton Village, home. It is very private yet only minutes to all activities...hiking, skiing, white water rafting, sight seeing, golfing, dining and shopping. The house is comfortable and attractively furnished. The three bedrooms sleep 5 adults easily and could accommodate more. The real attraction is the location. The living room with fire place looks directly out on the snow capped Grand Teton Range and the back of the house overlooks a stream and fields. The back has a nice deck with dinner table, chairs, and gas grill. Wildlife is everywhere on the property including mother and baby moose, deer, elk, ducks, and an array of birds including hummingbirds. We were able to sit in our bedroom and watch the mother and baby moose one foot away from us on the other side of the window! We had dinner at great restaurants in the area but also fixed dinner at home several nights since the grill is so convenient and the kitchen is well furnished. It was great to just have a drink and talk while fixing dinner and looking out the windows at beautiful nature. It is truly one of the most remarkable settings I have ever had the opportunity experience. It's a great alternative to the summer beach rental. Clear blue skies everyday with morning temperatures in the 50s and afternoons comfortably in the mid 80s. And no humidity which was a great break from summer in the deep south. I recommend this rental without reservation.

Jackson Hole family Vacation

The house was immaculate and had everything we enjoy as a family. It has vintage furniture with Rustic feel and beautiful windows that allow the outside in. The pool table was well used by our guys and they had a game or 10 every night before bed. I can't think of anything we needed that was provided. The location is minutes from Teton Village, Albertsons & downtown Jackson Hole. we loved being away from town but minutes away. We had a mother and baby moose visit our bed room window 4 mornings and evenings so the family would gather in the master bedroom to watch the "Moose Show". We loved it.

Beautiful Place!

This home is in a beautiful area close to Jackson and Teton Village, but away from the hustle and bustle of town. The wildlife flock to this location and the scenery is outstanding. I would stay here again without question and will recommend this home to anyone who asks.

About the host

Hosted by Ed and Katie

Host profile image
We now live in Chicago, but our hearts remain in Wilson in this cozy home. I grew up spending summers with my family here, and my dad built this house. It was designed designed to take in the beautiful views and wildlife year-round. We feel like we're in a fishbowl surrounded by gorgeous views, elk, moose, deer - every window provides a unique view into nature.

My dad is no longer with us, but he loved opening our home to guests so they could enjoy the wonder and beauty of the mountains and abundant animals. It made him so happy to share this gift with others. We love carrying on his legacy and sharing a piece of heaven on earth with our guests.

Why they chose this property

You never know what you'll see out our windows - herds of elk, bull moose, fox, hummingbirds, ducklings - depending on the season. The only traffic you will see is lots of 4 legged creatures. Seeing the mountains in every kind of light and season is our favorite.

What makes this property unique

Our home is on 5 acres and borders BLM (federal) land. Yet, we're less than 1 mile from the Snake River Bridge heading to town or the Village. You are close to everything but a world away. Other homes with this kind of wildlife, privacy, and space are usually a 45-60 minute drive from town or in Idaho.
