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.

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.

As Usual - Wonderful!
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.

Cabin in the woods
Amazing location. 5 minutes from mormons row. 20-30 minutes from Jackson. 20 minutes from Jenny Lake. You are able to get views of the Tetons from the cabin. Limited to no reception at the cabin. Perfect place to disconnect if that is what you are looking for. I do think the main bed could use mattress topper it was a bit hard for my pregnant wife and myself. The cabin is slightly dusty if you suffer from allergies. Overall would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for an amazing Grand Tetons experience!

What a View!
I knew going in that the cabin's location was prime, but seeing the view from the cabin just sealed the deal. It's definitely rustic, but as long as you go into it knowing that, you'll be fine. The cabin was clean and comfortable, plus well-stocked. It's smack in the middle of the Grand Teton range, so we were well-positioned to go anywhere in the park or to Jackson Hole within a short/reasonable amount of time. It's also off a road that's designated as a scenic-drive, so it was always pleasant coming and going from the cabin. The one word of caution I have is that the person who is sleeping in the top bunk needs to be relatively fit. There isn't a traditional ladder to the top bunk (there is a system of cabinet shelves and strategically-placed handle-bars instead), so someone who is older or not sure-footed may feel uncomfortable climbing up. All in all, I was glad to have stayed here!

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.
