Reviews

• A Week's Stay in Driggs, a wonderful alternative to commercialized Jackson Hole.

  4/5

  We recently stayed at this property and overall had a wonderful family gathering. The home is very spacious-comfortably accommodated our group. There were plenty of beds, large bedrooms, and enough common space for everyone to spread out. Our favorite part was gathering around the dining table-living room each evening for family time.

  The large porch-yard were also great, especially for children to play. The yard provided the best views of the Teton range. Adding outdoor furniture would be a good improvement (which was lacking) so guests can better enjoy outdoor space. The children’s teepee shown in listing was collapsed on porch, which was disappointing for kids who were looking forward to it.

  There were, however, several issues that future renters should know about, especially given the price point. The biggest concern was the air conditioning. The home is advertised with AC, which was important to our booking decision; it did not work properly. Multiple portable fans throughout house suggested this may be an ongoing issue. Even with all fans running, some bedrooms reached about 80° during 2 nights.

  We also noticed several OM items upon arrival, including a broken kitchen faucet, burned-out light bulbs, a broken towel bar, carpet stains, run-on toilets, window screen issues, loose cabinet hardware, unfinished drywall/access areas, and other visible areas needing attention. The grill was of a low quality; should be replaced. We arrived to an overflowing trash can in the garage with bags left beside it; there should be enough capacity to avoid incoming guests dealing with previous guests’ overflow.

  While normal wear and tear is expected, the home would benefit from general TLC - deferred maintenance.

  Guests should plan to bring basic supplies. We brought toilet paper, paper towels, and laundry detergent, which was fortunate since little was provided. There was some dish soap - dishwasher pods, but not enough for a large group for a week. Bathroom amenities were provided-appreciated.

  We appreciated the lawn being maintained during our stay, but we were not notified beforehand that workers would be on property including to spray the yard (either for weeds or insects). With children playing outside, advance notice (or preferrable doing it between renters) would have been appreciated.

  Overall, the home has great space, views, and potential, but addressing noted issues would significantly improve guest experience.

  The outdoor space and property is beautiful, highlight of this home. Very close to downtown. It definitely feels like a well loved and lived in home, not like a sterile rental property. Tons of room and beds, kitchen is well stocked.

• Great home

  This was a great home for our entire family to stay in while we visited the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Since there were so many of us, there was plenty of room to eat meals together, have a couple night time bonfires, hang out on the large deck to spend some quality time, and all of the amenities were available and in good working order. I would definitely recommend this home.

• Great place!

  Have rented several large cabins in the driggs area over the years and this has been our favorite. Very clean, Generously stocked kitchen, with all the tools and spices you need. Air conditioned top floor (which is rare up there,) large yard for soccer, and volleyball, and the kids lived the teepee and bunk room. We had a great stay. My only wish was that they had more than one trash can and or a recycling bin.
