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.

Great stay in the Tetons!
This was the perfect mountain getaway- just a short drive from the park entrance. We were impressed with how well stocked the cabin was. Also some great wildlife viewing right outside the cabin’s picture window. Could not ask for more!

This is a one-of-a-kind property. It definitely is "rough around the edges" and not for everyone, but we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful setting and very convenient location.

We had wonderful time experiencing the cabin life. The view is fantastic and we had elk passing by in the morning as we were having breakfast. All in all, a great experience for the parents and the teenagers..

Super cool and rustic
Such a fun place - very rustic with lots of history. We loved being able to have a fire outside, cook at home and take in the view. Nice hot water and kitchen had everything we needed. Bed could use an upgrade but other than that - such a cool place , I’d love to stay there again! Location is ideal - in the park and so close to Moose!

Grand Teton cabin
This rustic cabin is in the woods, overlooking Grant Teton. It has an observation deck on the property, grill, refrigerator, coffee maker. Bring charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill. It is a quiet, relaxing spot and exactly as in the pictures.

The most dreamy cabin in the woods
We had the most incredible time away in the Tetons, and this cabin was the icing on top. Equipped with everything you may need, it is cozy, inviting, and has the most gorgeous picturesque view of the woods with the Teton mountains in the backdrop. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to adventure. 10/10!

Amazing views
This is a real log cabin in the woods. The cabin is rich in family history. Not a lot of modern amenities, back to the 60's. very comfortable feel, with large windows and a view of the Tetons. the full moon lit up the Tetons and watching the sun light up the Tetons at sun rise was amazing. The outdoor areas and wildflowers add to the experience. It is located in Grand Teton NP so access to the park is very easy, close to Jackson and Yellowstone. The National Wildlife Art Museum was a great find. I would absolutely book again.

Unreal location, cozy family cabin
- Location is amazing, just up the road from Morman Row (great sunrise spot) - Favorite spot was the rocking chair in the cabin, view of the tetons never gets old - Piano, handwritten notes, old artwork, books made it clear this was a cabin that has some authentic family history - We are a family of 5 so it def is a smaller set up - as described - hot tip the fold out bed may be the most comfortable of them all - Hiked Cascade Canyon (took the boat), went to Tribe church/ate/shopped in Jackson, hiked Taggert, saw some wildlife - highlights - Missed a stove, bathroom felt like it could be updated a bit, but overall the place was very clean and as advertised - Owner was very responsive and helpful Thanks for sharing your place with our family

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.

An Incredible Mountain Hideaway
We came to the Tetons to raft and climb. This cabin was the perfect place to recover after an adventurous day. The pictures really do not do it justice. The view from the main window is a spectacular framing of the central Teton range. The property has a very private and remote feeling despite being very accessible to the park and Jackson. It has a rustic, lived-in feel. If you are someone that camps, loved the outdoors, but want a bed, kitchen, and bathroom, this is the perfect cabin for you. Whatever it lacks in luxury it more than makes up for in character and spirit.

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.
