We absolutely loved our stay. So sad to leave. Cabin was great. Loved the location and we took in visiting 3 states on our adventures. My husband loved the location for fly fishing even though they weren't biting. We would recommend it to anyone who loves outdoor adventures and the peace and quiet to boot! The cabin has everything that you need. It was wonderful!

Ok, but could have been better
The property is across the road from the Snake River which was great. Guests should be aware that you have a 6 mile drive on a pretty rough gravel road. The property was not clean when we arrived. Would have been a better stay if the property had been swept before we arrived and the well pump had been turned on. We loved the very beautiful and peaceful setting.
We had an amazing time staying at this cute cabin! We loved the rustic, authentic cabin feel. And the location was perfect, close drive to the reservoir! The only thing that was hard was the heat, it was very hot due to the summer temps. The fans were helpful but if you are someone who struggles sleeping in hot temperatures, I would bring extra fans and be more prepared. All in all we would definitely stay here again!

Off the beaten path
I didn’t realize how far out in the wilderness this place was. And if spiders don’t scare you, you should be fine.
It was big enough for our group.
Cabin was clean and stocked with necessities. Fire pit outside and dry wood for fires under the deck. Short walk to the snake river and short drive to the Palisades dam for fishing.
nice place within walking distance to the snake river. having to haul all the garbage away would be a pain if you don't have a truck. Lots of spacious living area and nice deck and fire pit.
Amazing property, especially for the price. My family is 4, with kids 6 and 9, had a great time. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and the house has everything you need plus a few things you may have forgotten. The pool table was a blast. The highlight of the trip for us was going swimming in the Fall Creek Falls waterfall and surrounding waters. It was a very short drive down the road from the house. Core memory moment! There's a rope you need to repel down to get to the water. All of us climbed all the falls. My kids got to stand under waterfalls and swim in natural pools all around. The water wasn't too cold and it was so beautiful. I do recommend water shoes with a good rubber bottom. We went barefoot and the rocks have this perfect grit, so nothing was slick which was not what we expected, but it's not the friendliest on bare skin. We all walked away with a few scraps, but it didn't put a damper on the experience. Next time, and we are coming back to do just that again, we will bring water shoes. I had one question while we were there and the property manager responded quickly and she was a joy to talk to. The beds were comfy, the hot water and water pressure were great (my kids experienced hot water running out for the first time, which i think is important for them to understand) but just a heads up if you're used to endless hot water tanks. Overall, we loved it. And we are looking forward to visiting again. Highly recommend this home.
Everything was great, until we went to bed. The queen beds are shot, wore out and junk. Loved everything else about this property including the pool table!

Old Authentic Cabin
A unique place to stay if you want to experience an authentic log cabin. Lots of room and in a beautiful setting. Not for everyone. Many cobwebs and didn’t feel the cleanest. Getting to the house can be a challenge as the road is rough gravel. Trees weren’t trimmed so they scraped the top of our van. And, for the price you pay you shouldn’t have to trek your garbage out to find a trash bin. We paid the extra $20.00 to have the cleaning person take. Just seemed odd and inconvenient.
Property manager is very responsive and if you’re looking for a place away from it all without frills, this could be perfect for you.
Stayed at Tanya's cabin as a base for exploring Tetons and other parts. A rare opportunity to take in the beauty of her property, the river, and Swan Valley. Cabin is the perfect mix of rustic, modern amenities and visits by wildlife. Tanya made us feel at home and was very responsive to questions after arriving. Will be visiting again.
We really enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable at this property. Very clean. Plenty of towels and amenities. Beautiful back deck and fire pit with a view.
The house was in a wonderful location, across from the river with wildlife present (we saw deer and bald eagles). The views were stunning!!! The house was incredibly clean and very well stocked. We absolutely loved it and would look for it when we plan on staying in the area again.
Our family had a delightful time in the Swan Valley area. The property provided all we needed to enjoy ourselves.

Thanks for sharing!
We had a great getaway with family, it was interesting to stay in a rental home/cabin where there is obviously someone living there when it is not being rented. there was very little room in the fridge for the food items we had and we had to keep our things in the coolers we brought. All in all we had an enjoyable time and the owners of the cabin were great to work with and responded quickly with any questions we had. Thank you for sharing with us.
This is a great place in the mountains. We drove into Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons from there, which wasn’t a bad drive. There was plenty of room for my family of 5 to spread out. The only downside was the drive in from the west was pretty bad - about 6 miles of winding gravel road. I’d highly recommend coming in and leaving from the east - only about 2 miles of gravel road and much flatter. Other than that, it was a good place to stay in the mountains.
