Rustic luxury

While it would have been nice to have a shorter drive to the parks, this property was absolutely luxurious. We rented the loft; sumptuous furnishings, lighting, and artwork, and a giant uber-comfortable bed with a view of the Grand Tetons in the distance through the huge windows. There's a lovely little trail nearby. The property is pastoral, and the stars on a clear night are stunning! Bob was wonderfully responsive and accessible, and the value is outstanding!

River Rim Ranch

The loft was very impressive and it overlooks the Teton River with the Tetons in the background. Everything was state of art and well maintained. It is remote and about an equal distance to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. It is about 1 1/2 to either. There are shops and a great grocery store about a half hour away in Driggs. The only minor complaint is the lack of a freezer. It would be nice if there was an orientation sheet explaining the tv, local attractions and restaurants along with how to access the river. These are just some suggestions but it is a wonderful place with lots of things to explore all around.

Beautiful

Communication with the owner was great, as was the checking process. The property is lovely! Remote, but an easy drive to Driggs, where there’s a great grocery store called Broulims. We used this as home base to explore Yellowstone, Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. The loft was great — lives a lot larger than it’s 600 sq. feet. The bed was super comfortable and the smart TV was good. We played and worked and as professional podcasters (video and audio) the high speed internet was crucial.

Charming and Cozy Apartment

This was a gorgeous one bedroom property that we used as a home base for 3 nights of our 8-night vacation! We felt very comfortable and cozy there and everything was spotless. The views from the bathroom and kitchen windows are spectacular...it would have been awesome to have a balcony to sip tea on and watch the sunsets/listen to the rain, but we didn't have much time for that anyway. It's a pretty remote location, but we didn't mind driving about an hour or so away to find adventures in beautiful forests and state parks! It's not like we had traffic to deal with...just wide open beautiful country roads. I highly recommend going to Mesa Falls...it's considered a mini Niagra Falls and is absolutely spectacular. It was the perfect outing for a rainy day (bring a raincoat) because you park and it's only a short walk to the falls. Also, stop in at the visitor's center and grab a granola bar and a souvenir and enjoy chatting with the nice park rangers. Don't forget to bring $5 cash for parking. I also recommend horseback riding in Harriman State Park. It's a gorgeous ride around Silver Lake. We ended up getting soaked during a surprise downpour and were kicking ourselves for not better preparing for rainy weather. I'm glad we decided to wear our raincoats, but definitely should have worn waterproof pants as well. Oh well! Live and learn. What do you expect from Southern Californians? ;-) Big Springs is also a lovely outing. There's a delicious Mexican restaurant near there where you eat on the patio overlooking Snake River (right off the main highway). There's also a yummy ice cream and pizza place next to the river as well. After all these adventures you will love coming "home" to this charming and modern apartment to shower, rest your bones, have a bite to eat, watch some Netflix, and slip off to dreamland while thinking about all the beauty you saw in the Gem State!

Our Tetonia stay

The property was gorgeous as was the interior design. Only negative comments could e that we didn’t meet the woman personally that managed the property. As a result it was necessary to place a number of calls and text messages asking questions about the entry code panel, the tv, which required a fob and was raised into place by machinery, as well as a broken window blind. Bottom line is that the property and area was beautiful but communication was somewhat lacking.

Good Spot but Expect Limited Views

My fiancé and I stayed here when visiting the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. The distances described are pretty actuate, so prepare for some long drives. The place itself was very clean and nice and the pictures of the interior are very accurate. As this is an apartment above a garage (connected to the main house), it seems the previous renters must have rented both units, and moved almost all plates and cups down to the main unit. Luckily, the renters in the main unit (while we were there) were friendly and gave us back a couple of plates to eat on. Not a great experience arriving hungry with nothing to eat on though. The views from the loft apartment were nice, but not the astonishing ones of the Tetons. Those are from the back porch of the main unit, which you do not have access to with the loft rental. If you walked out into the grass and down the hill a bit you could see them, but no ability to sit and relax. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Grand experience at the Grand Tetons

This place was amazing! This was our first Vrbo stay and we were nervous. However, the loft was marvelous and superseded our expectations. It was beautiful in the pics and didn't disappoint in person. It was incredibly clean and we felt totally safe. A real respite during the pandemic. We ran into the owner. He was great! Very kind and gracious. He let us come into his other property to watch the moon rise over the Grand Tetons. A truly incredible experience. I have recommended THIS property and VRBO to our friends and family!
