While we are surrounded with 3 ski resorts, we are just 22 miles from Targhee, while not as well known as Jackson, is awesome powder skiing and except for all of the locals who have discovered it, gives you wide open skiing and snowboarding without the long wait lines. Back at the house, we have a couple of sleds to take the kids on a few wild rides just outside the house or hop on the bikes and go for a lazy afternoon ride to work up your appetite for a great dinner. There are also miles and miles of cross country skiing and snowshoeing in and around the house as well as hiking trails that never end. You can choose to either take in all of the local activities or close the door, turn on the fireplace and curl up with a book and watch the wildlife wander by from the large banks of windows around the house. This home has just been finished and we have filled it with more than enough extras to make it top notch comfy!
Just 4 miles down the road is a wonderful public play golf course.

There is a full bathroom en suite with the 3 upstairs bedrooms - all jet tubs. Downstairs there is a half bath connected to the fourth bedroom. We have just spent the last year decorating this home to our comfort level - wow! The home's main centerpiece is a massive stone gas fireplace that is viewed from both the large living room and the gorgeous kitchen. It travels up to the 2nd floor and the vaulted ceilings. This home has all of the top end upgrades including granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless appliances, a heated garage and plenty of travertine throughout. We are avid wildlife photographers and the home has been decorated with our wildlife photos of the area, or you can go out and find plenty to photograph during your time at the house - and even right from the property! There is a moose mama that has set up house at the back of the property and a pair of bald eagles that have a nest right at the front of the property - can't wait until spring to see the babies.

This area is full of non-stop activities from hiking, the 3 local ski resorts for skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowmobiling and even dog sled rides, and sleigh rides through the national elk reserve! That is just the winter activities, and the summer gets even busier with world class fly fishing, hiking, biking & exploring - you will have to stay two weeks to get it all in! These outside activities don't even cover all of the awesome shopping, restaurants and entertainment in one of the best cities in the world - Jackson, Wyoming - an incredibly scenic 20 minute drive away. We had to stop to let a moose walk right in front of our car on our last trip over to do some shopping and dinner! Back to the house and a cozy night curled up in front of the fireplace with the 58' plasma TV mounted above with 200 channels to choose from or pop in a movie. Each bedroom has its own TV with VCR/DVDs in the master bedroom, bunk bed room & living room.
We have added an outdoor jacuzzi for soaking.
