Beautiful mountain get away with private river front/ Family-friendly

My husband and I purchased the home in 2006 from my Grandmother, whom in 1947 built this home with Grandpa. We did an addition of a greatroom and have lovingly restored the older portions of the home, that where built by Grandpa. We have saved the original fireplace and woodwork throughout the home, and strived to maintain the authenticity of the craftsmanship that Grandpa put into it, including the real deer antler cabinet pulls.

We and our children have many lovely memories of this home and beautiful Deer Cliff. My mother grew up in this home and I stayed with my grandparents every summer as a child. There is such a feeling of home here.

Deer Cliff is located above an old Shoshone Indian campground known as Watercress Springs. The cliff was created by an ancient volcanic mudslide five million years ago. The cliff was named Deer Cliff after some young men from Franklin Fort were sent to obtain meat for the winter. In order to kill as many deer as possible, they surrounded the deer, which made the deer panic and run over the cliff.

The thing that we most love about this home is the river frontage. It is so peaceful to sit on the private front porch and listen the the river. We also love the feeling of privacy. The rock work that was originally done by my Grandfather makes this home truly authentic. The home inside has original deer and elk antler pulls on cabinets and doors, (even on the refrigerator!).

We love being nestled right by Deer Cliff. Everywhere you walk from here is beautiful.

Inside we love the wood burning stove and travertine marble floors. The master bedroom is also very private and quiet. It has its own fireplace. We love waking up with an awe-inspiring view of the river and cliff. The upstairs rooms at night give a clear view of the night sky through the skylights. We can open the windows and hear the river and look out at the cliff. The large front yard is very shady and cool in the summer. In the winter it's a winter wonderland full of beauty. You can snowmobile right out of the driveway and take off up the canyon to Cache National Forest. The boys love the basketball hoop and tether ball. The baby loves the sand and swing.

We all love the peaceful feeling here.
