About this house rental
This home has been in the family for nearly forty five years. Visit once and you will understand understand why. World-Class skiing is 5 miles away at the legendary Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. When the day is over, relax in solitude in a private home located on a quiet cul-de-sac. If you look closely, you can see the tram from the living room. Not to mention the snowcats grooming the slopes in the evening!
Fine dining can be found within walking distance or cook dinner in a fully-equipped kitchen. Then take in the mountain view and gaze at the private pond and let the wildlife come to you. Trumpeter swans are regular winter visitors on the pond and moose, elk, fox and deer visit year-round.
Stay cozy with a modern wood-burning stove and enjoy the convenience of your own washer and dryer. High-speed internet is provided and garage parking is provided for one vehicle.
Make it a point to come back in summer! Miles and miles of paved bicycle and walking trails are just outside the door. Countless hiking trails, mountain bike paths and Grand Teton National Park are only a few minutes down the road. Spectacular golf courses, mountain climbing, kayaking and rafting are nearby as well.
Jackson Hole's famous downtown area is approximately fifteen minutes away by car and Grand Teton National Park can be accessed through the town of Jackson year round. The Park can be reached even more quickly via the nearby Moose Wilson Road during the summer season.

We really enjoyed our stay & the property. It is close to town & has everything you could need. It is so relaxing & interesting watching the pond with the wildlife. We saw swans, ducks & some deer around daily. The bedrooms worked well for our family of 6, especially the twin beds for the young granddaughters. It would be nice to have a TV in the downstairs living room where there is more seating for everyone to gather. It could use a thorough cleaning under furniture, etc. There was a lot of visible dust. The washer & dryer were a godsend since we didn't get our luggage until several days after our arrival. Thanks Lynne for an enjoyable week for all of us & the granddaughters got their first white Christmas!

Amazing view
Took a family ski trip. Cabin is located 8 minutes from Jackson Hole Ski Resort. 15 minutes to downtown Jackson.
Pictures don’t do justice to the amazing view of pond and mountain range. Could sit by wood burning stove and watch trumpeter swans, ducks and geese for hours. Saw mule deer all around the property. Incredibly quiet and private location.
Cabin is not new or fancy. But, has a cool and genuine feel. Charming and comfortable.
3 bedrooms and loft study with pull out couch. Everything imaginable available in the kitchen.
Location definitely worth the cost.

Perfect location amazing view
We loved the house and the wildlife all around us. The house had everything we needed and more. Garage access is great. The grill worked great. Kitchen fully stocked. TV was flawless. Not far from Teton Village or Jackson. Everything was great. Would stay here again without a doubt. We do not have one complaint. Thank you for such a great stay.

Great Location
We went to ski JH and it’s a short drive from this house to Teton Village. Parking was free at The Ranch lot if you have at least 3 people in the car. There is a grocery a couple mins away - it’s expensive but easy if you need something quick and it has a liquor store. We stopped at Albertsons in Jackson (around 13 mins away) for bigger shopping needs. The house has great hot water, very clean, and a great view of a large pond with wildlife. No moose this time but saw swans, ducks, and a gorgeous fox. We enjoyed our stay.

Serene spacious cabin
Enjoyed viewing the pond all day long. Two family members never left the cabin and enjoyed every minute. Great layout of the rooms. A shirt drive to the ski kill. Perfect property for our Christmas!

Duck Pond
We were cozy in this wonderful house on the pond. It was so comfortable, that we rarely left. Most days were spent stoking the pot belly stove and getting to know the resident ducks and deers. We saw a beautiful osprey swoop by a couple of times and a red fox burying his food catch in our front yard. The house was equipped with an excellent collection of books. It was so peaceful to sit in the living room and see the beautiful pond and surrounding scenery. We would definitely stay there again.

Best of the best
It is an absolute jackpot for family skiing vacation in JH, especially this winter when you want to be either on the slopes or away from crowds. You get both, less than 10min drive to the slopes and spacious home surrounded with wildlife. The garage is a special treat in negative teens every morning. Many thanks.

Unbelievable stay! Moose and deer almost every evening/morning at the pond. Tremendous views. The perfect base camp for exploring the Tetons and Jackson Hole. Lynne was very responsive and gives detailed information on surrounding area.

Couldn’t have been better
This was the perfect place to stay for our visit. Great house, great neighborhood and great location for what we were there to do. Especially appreciated the information the owner provided prior to arrival. Overall it was a simple and seamless process from beginning to end. I hope I’m fortunate enough to stay here again.

Comfortable and enjoyable
We stayed for several nights and enjoyed the comfort of this house. Views are amazing, private location, comfortable beds, all amenities needed. Location was great for going into the park, Jackson hole or anywhere around. I would most definitely stay here again. Bonus* we say a moose family directly in back of the house the first day*

Will Return
The home was cozy and perfect for the family.
Enjoyed the time we were able to spend there. We did have to shorten the stay because of a loss in the family. But what time we did spend there the kids loved. Really is an escape

Our White Christmas
This property was perfect!!! The view out the window overlooking the pond was better than TV! 5 beautiful swans, a variety of ducks, a couple of muskrats and the occasional visit from a river otter kept us captivated whenever we were at the house. Our kids wanted a white Christmas this year and boy did we have one! It snowed all through Christmas and again for New Years Eve. Our family lives in Georgia and had never been exposed to snow like that. We went skiing and snowmobiling, built snowmen and had a wonderful time. The home was convenient to everything! I couldn't give this place a higher recommendation! Thank you Lynne (the owner of the property) for helping us give our children the time of there lives!

Where the wildlife comes to you
Moose! Deer! Swans! Ducks!
Wow! We didn't need to go to the wildlife refuge.
The house is just what I imagined a Jackson Hole house should be. Lots of wood and windows to view the natural beauty. Midway between Jackson and Jackson Hole ski mountain, it's a short drive to anywhere.

Exceeded expectation!
We were extremely pleased with the house on the pond! It was was very well stocked and comfortable. Sitting in the living room gazing at the mountains and watching the wildlife was so relaxing. We had moose, osprey, magpies, ducks, rabbits, and squirrels in the backyard! We would certainly love to come back here again! Thank you for making the beginning of our Wyoming trip awesome!

Yes, There Were Moose!
Quite and peaceful property with direct access to GTNP via Moose Wilson Road (might be closed in the winter), avoiding the Jackson Hole traffic jam! Don't get me wrong, Jackson Hole is lovely and we enjoyed it very much in the evenings for shopping & dinner (would recommend Liberty Burger, Local Restaurant & Bar and Glorietta). However, we completely enjoyed staying in Wilson and this property has everything you need and then some, including the very convenient market on the way into the property. The view from the living room window of the pond is just GRAND. It's so pretty with the mountains at the far end and the ducks swimming across the pond. The house is exactly as posted online. Great kitchen and we found the master bedroom w/ king bed (only bedroom we used) to be very comfortable. It was nice to have the washer/dryer for laundry needs. Lynne was great and I can't thank her enough for being so accommodating with my request for a shorter than typically required stay. However, now that we've gotten a taste of GTNP, I wish we could have stayed longer! GTNP & Wilson were our favorites from a two week vacation that included Custer State Park & Badlands National Park in South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park (visited from Montana). If you're planning a trip to GTNP, stay in Wilson on the Pond with Moose and Swans. And YES, we were lucky enough to have a visit from not one, but two huge moose. SO GREAT!!

Spacious, quiet home with a beautiful view.
Our family had a wonderful stay for our Jackson Hole ski vacation. This three bedroom home in the Aspens is a perfect location. It is about a 5 min drive from the lifts at the Jackson Hole ski area and about 10 minutes from the town of Jackson Hole. The living/dining area has a fantastic view of a pond and the mountains. There is a family of moose roaming the area. If you are planning a Jackson Hole stay this is a fantastic place. You will not be disappointed.

Jackson Hole Family Vacation
Rented this house on what I saw on the listing only, no other reviews seen. The house was a great find, a great location minutes from the Jackson Hole Ski Resort, in a development which features good restaurants, a small but very well stocked market, cross country skiing next door, not too far from Jackson. The owner Lynne, was available as needed, but the house was very complete, comfortable, and so she never was needed. I can't think of anything that was lacking, and overall I feel this was a great place for a family vacation. Would love to rent it again in the summer to experience this area in the warm months.
