Colter Cabin is located on six private acres surrounded by ranches and aspen trees. It's the western log cabin you've been looking for, just north of Driggs, Idaho in the foothills of the Tetons near the Wyoming state line. It's a romantic escape for one couple, but can also accommodate three adults + child, a small family, or serve as an artist/writer retreat. Honeymooners love the authenticity of the true log construction, big fireplace, and dramatic views. There's fantastic bird watching, hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, and fishing nearby. Or just enjoy the fresh mountain air!
The cabin features high ceilings, classic log construction, a stacked-stone fireplace, and forever views of the neighboring ranch and the Big Hole Mountains. Sip your coffee on the back porch and keep an eye out for moose, fox, and bald eagles. The bright and airy upstairs bedroom sleeps two adults in a queen bed, while the downstairs bedroom features a twin daybed, flatscreen TV, and a sitting area. The central great room offers a fully stocked kitchen, dining area, and a sofa and chairs to relax on after a big day exploring the mountains or floating the Teton River.
Grand Targhee is 25 minutes up the hill for excellent powder skiing in winter, and Jackson Hole is about an hour over the pass. Yellowstone (93 miles) and Grand Teton National Parks (47 miles) are a bit further afield. Enjoy views of Grand Targhee ski area and the Teton range from the front deck while surrounded by nature. You can cross-country ski or snowshoe out the front door or find your way to one of the many groomed trails near the towns of Driggs or Victor. Men's Journal named Driggs, "The best small town in America" in 2001. We think it's still true today!
In summer, there's great kayaking on the Teton and Snake Rivers and mountain biking in the Big Hole Mountains. Fly-fishing is available at Leigh Creek, the Teton River, and other local waterways within a few minutes' drive. Venture 40 miles north to Henry's Fork to try your hand at world-famous fly-fishing spots. Hike into the Jedediah Smith Wilderness to get away from it all or take an easy stroll from the cabin down to beautiful Leigh Creek. Horseback riding and golf are also available within a few minutes' drive. The darling town of Driggs is a 7-mile drive and features cute restaurants and shops. Idaho Falls and Jackson airports are each about 75 minutes away.

This property was as advertised. The Colter Cabin was extremely clean and the location was outstanding. Views of the Teton Mountains were beautiful and the horses practically in the back yard were inspiring. Our stay was relaxing and a convenient hub for our planned activities. Exceeded our expectations!!
We visited in the off season! The cabin was located in a great area. Everything was as described and the host was friendly and quick to respond to my questions.
We had such a good time staying at the cabin! It was perfect for my husband our 2 boys and I. The cabin was clean and cozy. Just what we needed for the week. We love the location. Secluded and peaceful. I can’t wait to go back!
We had a very relaxing stay in Tetonia, Idaho and Colter Cabin played a big part in that…
We loved the history and details of the cabin and the overall vibe…
Great location with spectacular views. The only draw back was there was no tv option and we had to use our own streaming passwords if we wanted to watch any thing. The remotes were very complicated to use. After a long day sightseeing or early in the morning it would have been nice to have tv. Unfortunately? Based on this, this rental would not be an option in the future.

Glad you enjoyed the cabin. We offer, for free, a full range of all channels and shows. I think you did not realize YouTube TV has taken the place of cable and dish in providing all the major channels and hundreds more. I wish you had found the written instructions, or contacted me. You just click on YouTube. Next time!
The Cabin is in a great location, my family and I were able to enjoy Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park using the West Entrance, and Idaho Falls while staying here. The cabin made our trip so much better.
Very nice and secluded cabin with beautiful views. Close enough to local restaurants and grocery stores. Plenty of local places to hike and explore if you don’t feel like making a trip over the mountain pass to access the national parks. The cabin itself was clean, warm, and cozy. Would highly recommend.
Stayed here while visiting the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. The cabin was great! Clean, quiet, and had all the amenities we needed. The only problem was its location in regards to the parks. 1.5 hour drive to Yellowstone and 1 hour drive to Jackson and the Tetons.
This is a one-of-a-kind property bear beautiful Driggs, Idaho. If you are skiing at Grand Targhee this is the perfect spot to be within 30 minutes of the resort, but in a very private setting.
Ginger, the host, was great. Kitchen is perfectly stocked, bathrooms are great and the cabin is amazing!

Glad you enjoyed your stay... log cabins are wonderful and the snow this year was truly epic!
It is a secluded very cute cabin! Things were well stocked. Sunset views over the ranch were awesome. There are 12-15 horses in the backyard (neighboring ranch) that are very fun to watch at all times of day! The drive to GTNP, Teton Village, and Jackson goes quick and is beautiful.
This cabin should be named Serenity Now!! It was the most PEACEFUL, quiet, and beautiful place I have ever stayed. Nestled on many acres of farm-land with a view of the Tetons and Mountains all around, this was a dream! If you want peace, tranquility, and to get away from it all with a ton of outdoor adventure close by then this is THE PLACE!
The Colter Cabin was a fantastic “get away spot” for my wife and I. It was a beautiful cabin that was on a quiet road away from a lot of people. There only traffic was farm and ranch traffic and we hardly noticed. The views were great. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the upstairs balcony and watching the sunsets. Just a great cabin for us!!!
Great place to stay on the back side of the Tetons and wanted to stay longer. Was hazy from the California smoke but cleared to give us a really great view. The cabin was beautiful and perfect for us! And watching the horses morning and evening was so nice. The stars were amazing. Highly recommend Harriman state park, Mesa Falls and the scenic drive south to Palisades Reservoir and (not the real) Grand Canyon. Thank you. It was really wonderful.
Idaho is one of my faves, and we enjoyed being in horse country with views of pastureland, horses, and an occcasional deer. We expected a view of the Tetons as indicated in the listing's photos, and that was not the case, but within a short distance up the dirt road there were wonderful mountain views. Lots of recreational vehicles as well as horseback riding available.

Glad you liked the cabin. Sorry you missed the view of the Tetons... maybe the skies were not clear. You can see the Grand Teton just a bit from the front porch. Next time! Ginger
The colter cabin is just beautiful . The wood work and special touches are perfect . You have everything you will need for your stay . The view from the den and the master bedroom are so beautiful . Sunsets are amazing and it’s so inviting to just sit and watch the sunset with a nice glass of wine . You are close to the grocery store and easily accessible to Jackson Hole , Teton National Park and west Yellowstone ( a little bit of a ride but beautiful) we will definitely make our way back here. Thank you for sharing your home 😊

About the host
Hosted by Ginger
We bought this cabin in 2001 as a vacation getaway for family and friends. We started ColterCabins soon after. We spend lots of family time here in this corner of Idaho, Wyoming, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons. The kitchen is always well equipped and the beds are super-comfortable. Our family love to hike, ski, kayak and cook big dinners for family and friends.
Why they chose this property
This area of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana is just gorgeous. There are so many beautiful areas to visit – mountains, waterfalls, rivers, fields of wildflowers throughout the summer, and great snow all winter. You will want to be outdoors every day of your stay! Late spring is the best time to see the animals with their new offspring, and October brings the spectacular golden "quaking" leaves on the aspen trees. Summer offers hiking, kayaking and mountain biking - as well as concerts at Music on Main and theater in Jackson.
What makes this property unique
Our wood-burning fireplace is the classic traditional stone fireplace of your dreams. Lots of wood is stacked on the porch. The new kitchen with all stainless appliances is a treat as well. Cozy furniture, a large copper dining table, down comforters and quilts - we try to create an experience you will love. Note the elk chandelier in the great room - the Boy Scouts in Jackson collected all the antlers. The views of the Big Hole Mountains over the ranch next door are spectacular - especially for sunsets. Peaceful, quiet, only the rustling of the aspen leaves out your door.
