General overview
Location, location, location! We're 10 minutes from a ski hill, mountain biking, hiking, and OHV trails, and just 90 minutes from two of the world's most famous national parks: Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. And we're just 3 hours from Salt Lake City.
You'll likely see deer walk through the backyard almost every day, occasionally moose, too. Nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood, you'll feel right at home, but you're only 5 minutes from a restaurant and store and just 25 minutes from Idaho Falls or Rexburg - both great medium-sized towns with food, activities, concerts, and even BYU-Idaho University.
The space
The home itself is a custom built, gorgeous, 4 bedroom home with a great kitchen, 20 feet high ceilings, riverfront backyard, and even an indoor gym and golf simulator! Main floor master with a large ensuite, plus the 3 other bedrooms and bathrooms means this house sleeps 7 in beds, plus 2 great couches and a pull out mattress to sleep up to 10. With the private pickleball court and backyard beach on the river, there's so much to enjoy!
Guest access
The master, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living, gym, garage, and office are all on the main floor. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a play room are upstairs.
Notes
We love the area and will leave you a list of amazing once in a lifetime activities for every month of the year. We'll also leave you e-bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards in the summer and cross country skis and sleds in the winter. Come enjoy!

Neighbourhood
Our neighborhood is a private subdivision with no through access so it's safe to ride bikes around our 1 mile enclosed haven. The neighbors are delightful and there's lots of kids to play with if you have kids. It's a quiet, peaceful place to relax or spend time with kind, helpful people.
Getting to my home
The closest airport is Idaho Falls, Idaho (IDA), 25 minute drive, or Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC) is a large international airport that's a 3 hour drive away. It's easy to find using GPS or of course I'll send directions as we make plans.
Nearest airport
IDA - 25 minute drive
SLC - 3 hour drive
Getting around
You'll need a car to get around. You're only 5 minutes from a gas station, restaurant and Family Dollar, but the bigger cities with more options and activities are about 25 minute drive, as is the mountains, hiking/biking trails, and lakes/ski hills/National Parks. We can leave our Nissan Pathfinder for you to use if you like. It seats 7.

Looking for Orlando, San Diego, Nauvoo, Spain, Switzerland, Caribbean (open to other ideas, too!).
We are an adventurous family of 6 - 2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 aged 10 and 7. We love travel, the outdoors, and experiencing new places. My husband and I both work remotely, so we like to do home exchanges from 1 week throughout the year up to 2 months in the summer!
I love to clean and my husband and kids are very conscientious. We love getting the "real life" experience of staying in people's homes and seeing where/how locals live. We'll take great care of your space and will work hard to set ours up to be convenient and wonderful for you in return! We're just grateful to get to travel and PLU makes it possible in such amazing ways.
Our home is located near Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. It's a perfect spot for anyone looking to experience these gorgeous, unique, iconic places in the mountains and have the comforts of home - kitchen, yard, bedrooms, and even an indoor gym with a golf simulator! And don't forget the private pickleball court and backyard beach (riverfront)!

Occasionally we see amazing things like moose in the yard!
We see deer in the yard almost daily. Check out this 6 point buck!
In the winter, the backyard river is only about 2 feet deep and freezes over. We sled, ice skate, and play hockey out there.
We have 4 e-bikes, 4 kayaks and 2 inflatable paddleboards you can use while you stay, free of charge of course. This flyer just explains the equipment we have for you to use. We'll mark it all as "unavailable" as rental during your stay.
Meet BJ and Berklee, our sweet outdoor, hypoallergenic labradoodles. My son is allergic so we do not let them in the house, but they live in the garage. If you want to have these adorable babies during your stay, great! If not, they will go stay with their favorite aunt.
They're very well behaved dogs and are trained to stay on the property with a wireless fence. If you want them to stay while you're here, they'll just need you to feed and love them. They're sweethearts and great with other kids and animals.
Gorgeous hikes within an hour of our house! We'll leave you a list of our faves.
Grand Teton National Park is like no other! So gorgeous and only 90 minutes away.
This hike is at Grand Targhee Ski Resort. Look at that view! In the winter, the snow is world class. In the summer, if you hike up, you can ride the chair lift down free of charge, or you can ride it up and down and enjoy the views for a small fee.
Taggart Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Gorgeous 3 mile hike. Great day hike for kids/families.
Yellowstone National Park is other-worldly. This place is a MUST-SEE! 90 minute from our home.
Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park. Amazing!
Heise Hot Springs - 10 minutes from our home. 2 hot pools open year round to relax in. Summer pool and waterslide are so fun! Also heated!
Kelly Canyon Ski Resort - 10 minutes from our home. GREAT hill for beginners, families, and kids!
Freeman Park - fabulous free sledding hill in Idaho Falls - 25 minutes from our home.
Fall Creek Falls. Gorgeous waterfall just 15 minutes from our home!
