A Teton Tree House, Jackson Hole

It's a whimsical, multi-level playhouse almost hidden on a forested slope. Fuschia fireweed and creamy columbine greet you as you ascend the gentle 95-step climb up into the bowers of this aboreal retreat. Ideal for family reunions and intimate retreats.

In this sylvan setting, it's hard to believe that the busy tourist town of Jackson with its fine Western art galleries, cowboy bars, and upscale restaurants, is only eight miles down the road, and Grand Teton National Park several miles to the north with Yellowstone just beyond.

Your host, a 45-year local, guide and traveler, delights in sharing information! He is a former wilderness guide and has lots of ideas for the day's activities. Some guests may decide on a daylong trip through Yellowstone National Park or a drive along the nearby benchland above the cottonwood-lined Snake River. An afternoon could be spent hiking the trail around Jenny Lake or up into the ragged peaks of the Grand Teton Mountains.

Six guest rooms await you. All the rooms have excellent beds, private baths, decks, window seats and fantastic views! With a room up here and down there and around that corner, its a little like entering one's childhood fantasy. The Tree House has several levels of decks and an outdoor hot tub available for guests.

In the evening, a guest at the Tree House might curl up with a book in front of the two-story adobe fireplace. Or, test their skill at chess or Scrabble. Awake to the tempting aroma of baking and join with other guests to indulge in fresh fruit, hot porridge and delicious homemade yeast and sweet breads. All our breakfasts are heart-smart, low cholesterol and delicious! Our own homemade granola is even available.
