About the Cabin
Thistle dew Cabin is situated in the beautiful Teton valley, the quiet side of the Tetons. It is located 45 minutes from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Grand teton National Park and 90 minutes south of the West entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Thistle Dew cabin is in the middle of 45 beautiful acres surrounded by farmland and mountains. It is a place where you can hear coyotes playing in the early evening and where you can watch the cranes as they fly over on their way to closeby rivers.
Thistle Dew Cabin History
In 1996, Don and Leslie realized a dream by building a small log cabin on their land in Tetonia, Idaho. With the help of their 3 children and Leslie’s brother Peter, they hand peeled the logs, notched and hand-chinked them and added a roof. The original log cabin was enlarged using sugar maple beams brought from Vermont and log infill.
In 2004, Don and Peter envisioned one more addition to complete the cabin. This included a dining room with an unusual and unique style of timber framing, a sunroom using leftover maple beams, an entry way and a bodega- a Spanish style “wine cellar” reminiscent of a year spent in Spain.
