Teton Valley Cabins: Driggs Lodging Near Grand Targhee & Yellowstone
Book Now
Teton Valley Cabins is a log-cabin lodging operation in Driggs, Idaho, on the western side of the Teton Range, in a cottonwood-forested setting with private duplex-style cabins. The right fit is travelers prioritizing value, quieter setting, and Grand Targhee Ski Area access over Wyoming-side proximity to Jackson. The wrong fit is anyone needing walking-distance Jackson Town Square or Teton Village ski-in access; this is the Idaho side, with a 75-minute drive to Jackson.
What you actually get
Private log cabins set up as duplex units (each side has its own private entrance and bathroom). Standard amenities: bedding, basic in-unit features, daily housekeeping, 24-hour front desk. WiFi. The cottonwood-forest setting gives the property genuine character. Year-round operation. Pricing runs notably below Wyoming-side equivalent properties.
Book Your Stay at Teton Valley Cabins in Driggs, Idaho
Three reasons it works as a base. First, the price. Idaho-side lodging runs lower than equivalent Wyoming-side options. A multi-day stay can save substantial money. Second, Grand Targhee access. The ski resort is less crowded, often deeper in snow than JHMR, and the cabins are well-positioned for Targhee-focused ski trips. Third, the laid-back Driggs vibe. The town has restaurants, breweries, and shops without Jackson's tourist density.
Who this works for
Skiers focused on Grand Targhee. Travelers wanting a multi-day Teton-region trip with budget-conscious lodging. Visitors who don't mind driving for Jackson days (Teton Pass adds 75 minutes each way in good weather). Couples and families wanting cabin character on the cheap. Less suited: trips heavily focused on Jackson day-tripping (the drive eats time), and travelers needing Teton Village ski-in access.
Tradeoffs to know
Three honest tradeoffs. First, the drive to Jackson. Teton Pass takes 75 minutes in good weather; in winter storms, the pass occasionally closes, adding 30-45 minutes via Hoback Junction. Second, Driggs has limited dinner options compared to Jackson; if dinner variety matters, plan around it. Third, you need a car for everything; nothing is walkable from the cabins.
Word to the wise
For ski week, do one full ski day at Grand Targhee and another at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, with the cabins as base. Targhee usually has better powder; JHMR has the bigger terrain. The 75-minute Pass drive turns the JHMR day into a longer commitment, so plan it for a forecast-good morning. Conversely, Targhee days are short drives from Driggs.
Final word
For value-tier lodging in cabin format on the quieter Idaho side of the Tetons, Teton Valley Cabins is one of the right plays. Best for Grand Targhee-focused trips; less ideal for Jackson-heavy itineraries.
