About this property

Horseshoe Cabin: Spacious & Quiet, Mountain Views

Horseshoe Cabin is a spacious 2-bedroom (+ loft) mountain retreat surrounded by 6 acres of privacy and gorgeous aspen trees. Located a few miles north of Driggs, Idaho and only a few hundred yards from the Wyoming state line, this is your home base for all-season outdoor adventure. Powder skiing at Grand Targhee, mountain biking in the Big Hole Mountains, and world-famous fly-fishing are only a short drive away. Jackson Hole is 45 minutes over the pass and West Yellowstone is about 90 minutes north. Driggs was named, "the best small town in America" by Men's Journal in 2001. We think it's still true today!

The spacious cabin accommodates up to five (5) guests and is perfect for family vacations, artist/writer retreats, or anyone else looking to get away from it all. Bird watching, hiking, kayaking, skiing, fishing, and fresh mountain air are all at your command.

Horseshoe Cabin features high ceilings, a modern wood-burning stove, two (2) comfortable bedrooms plus loft, two (2) bathrooms, and excellent views of the Big Hole Mountains. Sip your coffee on the two large decks and keep an eye out for moose, fox, eagles, and other local wildlife.

Horseshoe Cabin's bright and airy great room features a fully stocked kitchen, dining room that seats five (5), and a comfortable living room with 8-foot leather sofa. The upstairs Bedroom #2 sleeps two adults in two single beds. Bedroom #1 is downstairs and has a queen bed with forest views and access to the back deck. the Loft room is in the open loft and features two single futons for kids on the floor, and games and play space. Horseshoe Cabin is the ideal place to build a fire, whip up a home-cooked meal, and relax after a big day exploring the mountains or floating the Teton River.

Firewood is provided for the wood stove, and there is a gas grill on the front deck.

Serenity!

Lovely cabin was the perfect spot for our family get together to enjoy hiking and the beautiful outdoors. Well furnished and stocked, beautiful views, peacefully tucked away on 6 acres. Much better than all the tourist traps. We would definitely stay again!

Great Stay!

The cabin was fantastic! We loved the outdoor seating and enjoyed the views. It was quiet, relaxing and a great spot to stay while visiting the Tetons and Yellowstone. The kitchen is equipped with all you need and plenty of space available for our family of 5. Ginger was great at communicating all the info we needed.

Beautiful vistas, great vibes

This cabin was everything we’d hoped for, for our Yellowstone adventure. Located squarely between the park and Jackson Hole, we were able to travel to both for excursions. The cabin was spacious, homey, and well stocked. The views were breathtaking and the horses in the pasture next door were a lovely bonus. Highly recommend!

Time near the Tetons

Very nice accommodations near the Tetons! It was wonderful to come home after a long day hiking to relax in this lovely VRBO location. Everything we needed was provided. The water (from drinking to hot water for showers) was great….adding that cause I am kind of picky about water.

Perfect!

The cabin was absolutely perfect! It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed plus more. Ginger is a wonderful host. Of course, the scenery was awe-inspiring! We felt very secluded surrounded by nature and wildlife but it was an easy fifteen minute drive to Driggs where we could find groceries, gas, and great restaurants. We loved it all!

Private cabin in Teton mountain area

The cabin is comfortable, airy, and spacious. Our family of 5 stayed but the property could have easily accommodated a larger family. The area is very private on a hill in the Teton mountain foothills and has forested areas on three sides, with an amazing view of mountains and a pasture valley on the fourth side. The cabin had all amenities provided. The grocery stores in Tetonia and Driggs are a few miles away, but it is a very easy drive to pick up supplies in the nearby towns. The entire area is less chaotic than Jackson and staying here was very relaxing. I highly recommend this property.

Summer escape

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Almost everything we needed was readily available and the cabin was very clean. The property says 6 acres yet we had no idea where so no exploring was done on the property. The location was great for all the different places we traveled to visit. Lots of board games were available well as an Xbox for my teens. If you are not use to the dry air be sure to boil a pot of water. I will say the hot and cold were opposite of most showers in the downstairs bathroom and a curtain over the door to the back bedroom would have been nice to have.

Nice private cabin

Overall, we enjoyed staying at the propriety surrounded by trees and it’s about 50 min to 1hr to Jackson. The cabin is pretty and we enjoyed the privacy we had. One thing that we did not like was the 15 items check out instructions including “wipe down the counters” “start dishwasher,” and “take out the trash to the trash cans at the end of the street” (could not really see any). It just does not justify the steep cleaning fee that we paid for a 3 day stay. We are always respectful of people’s proprieties (we are owners ourselves) and leave a clean place but 15 items check out instructions are a little much for people who just want to enjoy vacation.

Great Home Base for exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks

The cabin was located outside of the town of Driggs, ID. The cabin is beautiful and was great for our family of 4. The cabin is well stocked with anything you will need. The town of Driggs has some great restaurants, a brewery and distillery that we enjoyed. We made a trip to Yellowstone National Park (approx. 1 1/2 hours away) and made a few trips to Jackson (approx 45 minutes away). There are a number of hiking trails accessible from the west side of the Teton range that we explored. Ginger was great in her communication and made herself available if we encountered any issues. We had none but I am sure her responses would have been quick.

It was even more beautiful of a location than the pictures can capture. It was such a sweet time together as a family.

About the host

Hosted by Ginger Howard

Host profile image
We bought this cabin in 2001 as a vacation getaway for family and friends. We started ColterCabins soon after. We grew up in Cincinnati; Jim worked for Jones Lang LaSalle managing real estate, and Ginger taught Montessori. We spend lots of family time here in this corner of Idaho, Wyoming, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons. 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. We are 80 minutes from Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons - both wonderful day trips. 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.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is an often-used family cabin. We have games and cards and lots of excellent cooking equipment, cake pans, pie plates, waffle maker and pancake griddle - and spices in the kitchen. Beds are super comfy with blankets comforters and quilts. There is a Canon printer, badminton net, two decks in the trees with big cushioned sofa and chairs, outdoor dining table and picnic table. We love the quiet, beautiful views of sunrise and sunset over the ranch land and Big Hole Mountains. We have local maps and books, and even bedtime books for the little ones.
