    Me and my family drove four hours to this property to arrive 38 minutes after the check-in time as we approach the property it is extremely beautiful and the house is amazing, but as we attempted to use the code provided the keypad was dead. Vrbo was no help and could not get a hold of the host for almost an hour, Once we got in communication with the host and entered the property. I mentioned that it seems someone hasn’t stayed in a while due to cobwebs in the windows and Christmas decorations. The host continue to explain through text that they never have any issues with this property and their property couldnt be a dirty house due to the love and care that they put into this property. We decided to get a different Airbnb in town! Won’t rent using this website

    Enjoyed our time at the retreat, perfect spot to relax after trekking Grand Teton NP. Beautiful sunset views and kids enjoyed the loft area.

    We booked for three days between Christmas and New Years. Came from Florida and were hoping for snow and were not disappointed. The cabin is a perfect setup. All essentials there and had a perfect fireplace to escape the cold. We took advantage of the snow and spent a day snowmobiling in Alpine (saw moose and elk) and a day in Jackson Hole shopping, great restaurants, tubing and the awesome elk reserve. Will definitely be coming back in the summer to take advantage of the golf, fishing, rafting and hiking!

    The owner of this property took alot of time to make this a beautiful retreat for us and our kids to rest our heads. They offered many amenities and gave us a whole list of things we could do in the area. This property is quiet, quaint and homey. My family and I want to stay here again. This is definitely one of my favorite places that we have rented.

    Our family of 5 stayed here while on vacation and couldn't have asked for a more hospitable, comfortable, cute, and roomier place to stay. They had everything you can think of there and are always available if you have a question. The house was in a great location to Jackson Hole, The Tetons, and Yellowstone National Park. Our kids definitely were not ready to leave! Truly a great family place to stay!

    The owners put so much thought into this special place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay… we had coffee on the porch in the morning, and stargazed every night by the campfire. The guest house is attached to the main house and shares a yard, but we were completely alone during our stay. :)

    We came for a wedding in the Alpine area. This little cottage was the perfect space. It was exactly as advertised, and Kim, the property manager, was super responsive to all of our needs. Would definitely return again.

    This property was perfect for our trip. This was our first time to visit Wyoming and we wanted to see all of the touristy parts. Such as Yellowstone national park in the grand Tetons. It was a bit of a a travel for us to see these places that we enjoyed being outside of all the crowds. Our next visit to this area we will stay off the beaten path and enjoy the area in this little town. We plan to return!

    Great views and an amazing fire pit. The owners provided some firewood but we went to the local store and loaded up. Made s'mores and watched the sun set over the mountains. Great location too. There are trails and all kind of stuff to do within a few minutes or you are only an hour from Jackson. Would definitely stay again.
