About this property

Dancing Bear Cabin-Sleeps 8-11! Fantastic views and location/Close to Targhee

Oh - so much to tell you! When you arrive - the exterior is a simple log cabin, located on 2 acres directly facing the Tetons. Pull up a chair on the deck, the view is absolutely mesmerizing. The beautiful quaking aspen trees surrounding the cabin make a picturesque setting. A seasonal stream and Bear Creek run behind the property and down through the large grove of trees makes this exactly what a cabin in the west should be. Inside: absolutely charming decor that makes you feel at home the minute you walk in. Race to the 3 bedrooms to see which you want - each has its own flair. 2 full bathrooms on the main level. I love the simplicity of the place- if you want granite and steel, this is not for you! Leather, log, tapestries and a view from simply every space. The cozy living room with a porcelain stove (propane) is like an instant blanket. Best for summer - A/C - an unusual feature for this area but the fresh air is best! The open floor plan lets you work in the galley kitchen while being part of those both in the dining area or the living room. Multiple places to sit, visit, read, work (?) or just enjoy.
There is an unfinished basement with 3 twin beds and a 1/2 bath - this is the unfinished basement (truly roughed in) and not a bedroom but is good for a spillover. It is cool in the summer and a great place for the kids to hang out - complete with a ping pong table. Washer and dryer are available for your use downstairs.
So what makes this place special? I think the feeling of comfort the minute you walk in. With those mountains looming above you - tuck in and have your own piece of paradise.

The shop behind this property is a separate property. It has recently had work done on the interior during the evening but should be finished soon. Property manager uses this space and can be available as needed.

The perfect getaway
The property is beautiful, it was exactly what we were looking for, close to town but far enough to get the tranquility we were looking for. The cabin is straight out of a book and was so comfortable for myself, partner and the doggos! We loved it!

Amazing home with incredible views
The Dancing Bear cabin was an amazing place just a short jaunt from downtown Driggs. A great base camp for hiking with incredible views of the Tetons. Janet was extremely accommodating and we had everything needed to cook up nice meals with friends and enjoy the sunsets after a day in the woods. The house had plenty of space for the 4 of us to spread out and relax, although we spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor patios! Super fun stay, we’ll definitely be back!!

A Perfect base of operations for family exploration of the west side of the Tetons!
We had a family gathering, 3 couples and a dog, and the Dancing Bear was the perfect place for us to stay for 10 days. The home has everything you need for dining, lodging and relaxing. Porches on the east side and west side allowed the viewing of sunrises and sunsets. The Tetons are visible from all of the windows on the east side. Beautiful living area with unique hearth and mantle. Dining room table easily handled our group for meals, card and bord games. Ping pong table in the basement was a bonus. The kitchen was very well equiped and a large grill on the back deck made grilling very convenient. We loved the rustic appointments in the house and we lacked nothing for our comfort and enjoyment. A great base from which to explore the Targhee National Forest, backside of the Tetons, Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Driggs, and Alta. Fabulous hiking opportunities just miles from the Dancing Bear. All in all, a wonderful stay that exceeded our expectations!

Hello! This is Janet and I am an Idaho girl but married a military man and currently reside in Montgomery, AL. I love this Idaho happy place! The cabin was purchased through my great grandmother's family, I have spent months fixing the exterior logs and remodeling the main interior. I hope you love it as we do.

Why they chose this property

Simply put -- the view! I wanted space around me, not a "neighborhood". I think the potential in this area for truly enjoying the outdoors is immense., no matter which direction or season.

What makes this property unique

Location! Style! Private! Convenient! Cozy! Perfect! You can get to amazing places from here --year round.
