Lake View cabin 45mi from Jackson Hole on 7 Acres

Very private rustic cabin with breathtaking lake and mountain views that is fully accessible year round! 2100 sq ft on 7 acres, all to yourself! 50 minutes to Jackson, 10 minutes to Alpine. 10 minutes to Snake River fishing. World class snowmobiling nearby. Please have 4x4 vehicle in Winter but driveway is accessible in Summer for any vehicle type, including trailers. The space If you’re looking for the real Idaho-Wyoming experience — where eagles fly by, moose wander through, and the stars actually show off — you’ve found it. Our 1961 cabin has all the rustic charm you can handle. Cozy up by the fire, binge your favorite shows, or dig into our pile of board games when you realize the mountains beat screen time. Outside, test your skills at giant Jenga or corn hole — or just enjoy the 7+ acres of peace, views, and the occasional moose cameo. We’re perfectly located for exploring Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Jackson is a scenic 45-minute drive through Snake River Canyon, and hiking, fishing, and paddling are basically at your doorstep. Pros *Views so good you’ll forget your phone exists (until you post them) *Ideal base for parks, rafting, and adventure days * Eagles, moose, and deer as your unofficial neighbors *Natural mountain spring water — straight from the source *Lots of yard games & board games, even a paddle board *Well equipped kitchen, including commercial waffle maker, blender, tea kettle, new pans, spices, etc etc Cons (aka “Keeps It Interesting”) *Sits above a two-lane highway — easy to find and access, hard to ignore the occasional road noise *All bedrooms upstairs — not great for bad knees or midnight snack runs *One bedroom is a “pass-through” (great for families, awkward for privacy lovers) *Winter guests: AWD will be required Nov-April If you love fresh air, real views, and a cabin with character, welcome home January- Temps can range from -20 to 35. Most commonly in the 20s. LOTS of snow for snowy activities February-Temps usually start warming up and we don't see negatives anymore. Lots of snow still March-Spring skiing! We can start seeing temps in the 40s occasionally but all snowy activities are still going strong. April-The ski hill closes the 2nd week of April. Temps can reach 60 but still drop to 20s. Most restaurants close for off-season and it's hard to find places to eat. Grand Teton Park opens the roads for biking and non-motorized travel which is really fun and locals really look forward to May-Usually my favorite month of the year. We usually don't see freezing temps anymore and temps can get into the 70's. All of the blossoms come out and it's so green! Everything opens but is still mostly quiet June- Starts getting busy in town, most hiking trails will be open although I've found fairly deep snow into the 4th of July on high trails before. Gorgeous weather July-Great weather! Busiest time of year August-same as July but wildfire season starts to heat up and possibility of smoke lowering visibility September-Fall colors start to come out, nights start getting cooler. Town starts getting quieter. It's beautiful here in Sept! Fall Arts Festival in Jackson is really fun at the beginning of the month October- Can be similar to September, but with random snow storms. No snow sticking at ground level yet usually. All the leaves drop off the trees November-Off season until the ski hills open. Very quiet December-Winter sports pick up again! Snow starts sticking on the ground floor. Temps usually in the 20s-30s **Summer Activities** *Drive up the Greys River road and hike, enjoy the views, look for huckleberries in July/August or kayak *Rent side by sides and cruise around town, the lakebed, or explore hundreds of miles of trails in Alpine *Paddleboard, boat, or jet ski Palisades Reservoir, 27 miles of fresh mountain water! *Rent paddleboards from Greys River Sports or a pontoon boat from Adventure Rentals *Float the salt river for fun or fishing *Horseback riding with Rockin’ M Ranch, 15 miles up the road *Golfing in Star Valley Ranch, 30 minutes *Wake surf on the Palisades with Teton Surf Company *Fly fishing tours *Read the hiking book under the TV and go for a hike as close as 1 mile from the cabin *Grand Teton National Park-Our favorite hiking!
