Arrived to sunsets, yes plural, on our first evening. Watched the reddening illuminating the western view of the Tetons from the front porch and moved to the rear for a burning red fireball dropping below the Teton Valley’s western mountains.
House was fantastic, as ‘advertised’ and a treat for is all. Mornings with coffee watching the sunrise, days spent walking, reading and relaxing, or traveling through West Yellowstone to hit the park. Driggs is a little gem and we enjoyed being close to the market and other conveniences - although we didn’t really need/use them.
The house is really well equipped - everything from cookware, glassware, serving and plating type accoutrements were nice quality and plentiful. Linens and towels were great quality and we didn’t miss our own from home. The window was amazing for bird watching and connecting with the views. The ‘battles’ between the Magpie and the local Kestrels were epic. The telescope was great for birding, wildlife and a few starry gazes.
A couple of items that might be useful for the owners/ future renters: mattresses upstairs while nice, are near end of life and should be replaced soon for comfort (sunken/breaking down). While the steps into the front porch are minimal (easy for most) for two of our guests with limits in mobility (age & hips) a small handrail would be really helpful.
If we could redesign the home, what would we do? Add a full shower for the upstairs guest - using the available space by having a smaller laundry room. But that’s it and it’s in no way a complaint. It’s just a ‘feature’ to plan for when assigning your guests to certain rooms.
We left a fun Yellowstone puzzle for the next visitors and we will be booking our next visit soon!!
