It is comfortable and peaceful in the cabin, whether you sit in front of the wood stove on a chilly evening or enjoy the summer breeze on the deck looking out over the Wind River. Guests come here to fish, to write, to take a break from the busy-ness of a busy civilization, to let their thoughts and feelings coalesce. There is plenty of room for kids to swing on a tire swing out front and cast for their first fish. Horseback rides and waterfall hikes are right down the road. We are informal here in Dubois. The excitement comes from the kids’ rodeo as well as from the deer, geese and bunnies in the yard.
The cabin has all of the amenities-a fully stocked kitchen for cooking, with seasonings, coffee, dishes, pots & pans. The laundry room has detergent. The fire pit has wood. And the grill has charcoal & lighter fluid. There are even skewers for s’mores.
Here is the layout of the cabin: a master bedroom with queen bed and an en-suite bathroom with shower. An IKEA full sofa/bed in the kitchen, topped with an additional mattress when needed. A queen sofa/bed in the TV room as well. Please note that there is only 1 bathroom and the entrance is through the bedroom.
We try to stick to 100% cotton linens and fragrance-free chemicals in cleaning. The scent of the pine trees and sage are lovely enough.
Of course, there is Yellowstone for day trips. As well as the glitzy town of Jackson for its restaurants and shopping. Each are roughly an hour and 45 minutes from the cabin. But there is so much more right around here.
We have lots and lots of repeat guests. A number of them come a few times and then decide to make Dubois their home. In fact, that is exactly what your hosts did those many years ago.
