Summer Vacation in Idaho

I just recently returned from vacation in Idaho, including visits to The Grand Tetons National Park and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  We rented a great "cabin" in Driggs ID, on the west side of the Grand Tetons.

It was great to get out in nature and smell fresh mountain air!

Since this blog is about real estate, I thought I'd share some photos of houses near the cabin (really a house!) we stayed in.

View of the "Grand Teton" from the deck of the house.  

One of the bigger homes in the area.  Red metal roof.

Sprawling home with chimney out of river rock.

Our "cabin" Our two poodles loved it!

Another example of "mountain architecture"
