Retro A-Frame w/ Hot Tub, Perfect Couple's Getaway

Photo gallery for Retro A-Frame w/ Hot Tub, Perfect Couple's Getaway

The 800 sq ft Buttercup cabin is the perfect "cabin in the woods" offering a quiet and private retreat, especially in winter!
Huge west-facing windows flood the living room with natural light, highlighting beautiful pine wood from the 1970s.
Cozy-up on the bean bag chair next to the retro Malm fireplace.
This fully renovated kitchen has new appliances and everything you'd expect to find at home (and perhaps a little more).
The boundary to Targhee National Forest is literally steps from the hot tub.

My daughter and her husband enjoyed the stay. They were disappointed about the burn ban but that can't be helped.
