About this property

One of a Kind Cabin Located Within Grand Teton National Park

Our cabin has a spectacular location, directly in front of the Grand Teton peaks. A rare National Park in-holding, the cabin is on the border of Grand Teton National Park and Bridger-Teton National Forest, looking out over the Park and offering superb hiking out the back door.

The cabin is located on Shadow Mountain, so named because the Grand Teton casts its shadow on this exact spot when the sun sets behind the mountains. This is the place for viewing gorgeous mountain sunsets, each one unlike any other, with rays of light beaming off the peaks for just a few moments before the starlit evening descends.

The cabin is set in a 1-acre open meadow filled with wildflowers in the summer. It is away from other homes, but it doesn’t feel remote. It is a quick 10-minute drive – or a lovely bike ride – down to the National Park entrance and Dornan’s grocery store, restaurants and legendary wine shop. There is a warm springs nearby where children chase tiny minnows with their nets while their parents practice kayak rolls. Herds of bisonand antelope roam on the flats below the cabin. It is a 25-minute drive to the town of Jackson, where there is much to explore and enjoy. It is about a one-hour leisurely drive to the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park, where we recommend you plan to spend the night to allow enough time to explore the world’s first national park.

Our cabin is a restful and refreshing oasis set in “America’s Serengeti”. Families often come back to the cabin year after year, making it their second home in the Tetons.

What We Offer
• A simple, comfortable cedar log cabin with a master bedroom, a small bunk-bed room, a comfortable living room/dining room/kitchen area and a small bath with tub and shower

• Sleeps 6, including the fold-out couch in the living room

• 100% homelike atmosphere, not at all a hotel room or rental condo. A family retreat and favorite-place-in-the-world ambiance

• delicious well water, probably best-tasting water on the planet

• outside deck and outside picnic area with BBQ grill

• piano and keyboards, lots of good books, fireplace and firewood

What We Don’t Offer
• TV or reliable cell phone service (smart phones seem to work fine and there is a land line)

• Luxury accommodations. This is a small, simple cabin, 100% comfortable, but nothing fancy.

• Internet service is not working this year. Sorry! Smartphones are usually OK.

The location is a perfect balance between seclusion and proximity to the park. I loved the access road to get to the house as it has some secret pullouts that tourists wouldn't know about. These are perfect for sunrise/sunset and star gazing!

My husband and I looked for a place far from the crowds and we found it in this sweet cabin that it was clear a family had enjoyed for years. There was an interesting collecition of books, and eclectic art on the walls from around the world. There was a pair of excellent binoculars to view the humming birds who arrived to feed at the feeder which had been thoughfully refilled before our arrival. It had it's quirkiness which we enjoyed -- a creative arrangement of electric outlets. We loved the quiet of the area. Onour last evening a bear lead us part way upr the access road! The log had tales of others who had enjoyed staying here since 2013.

Gem in the mountains

The view in this cabin is amazing! Floors are finished oak instead of rough cut wood. Kitchen is a one person kitchen with a convection appliance as the oven. Works well.The two negative issues were the double bed has a mattress that lists about 20 degrees, and there were constant flies. We kept the doors and windows closed but swatted 20-30 flies a day. We would stay again.

Super cool and rustic

Such a fun place - very rustic with lots of history. We loved being able to have a fire outside, cook at home and take in the view. Nice hot water and kitchen had everything we needed. Bed could use an upgrade but other than that - such a cool place , I’d love to stay there again! Location is ideal - in the park and so close to Moose!

We had a great time staying here as a family. Only problem we had was the horse flies during mid day. No fault of the owners though.

We love staying at the Shadow Mountain Cabin. It is fun, quaint and eclectic. The cabin is nicely secluded, but it is close to many of the desired Grand Teton locations we enjoy visiting. Candra is a great host.

Absolutely ideal place to end each day we were at Grand Teton!

This charming little cabin was exactly what we were looking for! Cozy and quaint with outstanding views of the Grand Tetons, functional kitchen and unique decor. Everything was perfect! The owners even have everything needed for exploring the area. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations.

Lovely secluded cabin

We had a fantastic stay at this property. We felt it was a little larger than pictured with stunning views from the large picture window. Cabin was clean and well-equipped. Easy access to Grand Teton Park and Jackson in a lovely quiet secluded location. We were there during an unseasonably cool time and the cabin stayed warm, dry and cozy. Would stay here again without hesitation!!

The perfect location

This cabin is just as described: rustic and simple. It is also in THE PERFECT location to enjoy the Tetons--so close to hiking and to Jackson. We saw buffalo up close on Antelope Flats Road, also many mountain bluebirds. And, again just as described, it is so quiet and peaceful. It was perfect for us, and Candra was wonderful to work with--accessible and helpful. We loved our stay here, would definitely stay again.

Stay at Grand Teton

This property is in a fantastic location with views of the Grand Teton from front windows. There was plenty of equipment in the property for our stay. It is in a convenient location for access to the park and viewing wildlife in the early mornings or evenings. We would recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away from it all and just experience peace and quiet nature.

Beautiful Location

This is definitely a very rustic cabin. We hiked and were outside most of the days we stayed so we didn't need a lot of luxury amenities. The view and outside area of the cabin are what this place is all about. This property definitely has it's quirks due to it's remoteness and retrofitting, but overall a very charming cabin.

Beautiful setting

This cabin has everything you need in a setting that is very peaceful. We had some rain one evening and were entertained afterwards with a couple of mule deer grazing in the clearing around the cabin. Everything was exactly as we were told and we had no problems at all with anything. This is a beautiful area and we would rent this cabin again in a heartbeat!

Grand Teton stay

Cabin is exactly like it is described. Very simple rustic cabin in the woods. Had everything we needed. Loved the big front window to see the beautiful Tetons. Wood burning stove was great for a fire after long day of hiking. Saw Mule deer everyday on property. Nice and close to the park entrance. Really enjoyed our stay here. Loved feeling like we were all alone in the woods.

Unreal location, cozy family cabin

- Location is amazing, just up the road from Morman Row (great sunrise spot) - Favorite spot was the rocking chair in the cabin, view of the tetons never gets old - Piano, handwritten notes, old artwork, books made it clear this was a cabin that has some authentic family history - We are a family of 5 so it def is a smaller set up - as described - hot tip the fold out bed may be the most comfortable of them all - Hiked Cascade Canyon (took the boat), went to Tribe church/ate/shopped in Jackson, hiked Taggert, saw some wildlife - highlights - Missed a stove, bathroom felt like it could be updated a bit, but overall the place was very clean and as advertised - Owner was very responsive and helpful Thanks for sharing your place with our family

About the host

Hosted by Michele A Eaton

Host profile image
This has been our family retreat since we built the cabin almost 40 years ago. The 4th generation is now in the process of falling in love with the cabin and the Tetons. The contact person has lived in Jackson for more than 20 years and is happy to provide any assistance, including local tips.

Why they chose this property

Our family came to Jackson every summer to climb in the mountains. Father (grandfather, great-grandfather) was an avid mountaineer. We were very fortunate to be in Jackson when this unique parcel became available: an old-time ranching family decided to sell a few acres at the edge of the National Park. A handful of parcels were snapped up in a matter of days -- including our purchase! -- and the Park bought the rest.

What makes this property unique

The first dramatic feature you'll notice about our cabin is the views of the valley floor and of the Grand Tetons directly in front of you. The next thing you'll notice is the quiet. And the next thing you'll notice is a feeling of peace and delight. Works for everyone, all ages.
