This gorgeous mountain house was custom-designed by Peter Zimmerman Architects, tucked into a very private location at the base of the Tetons in Jackson, Wyoming. The house was crafted for a couple who planned to be in Jackson for 3–4 months, both in the summer and the winter.
All of the living space is contained on the first floor. They have three daughters who are avid outdoor enthusiasts and visit their parents regularly with their significant others. The house needed to expand to accommodate a full house during holidays and then accordion back down to an intimate space for two people.
DESIGN DETAILS: ARCHITECT Peter Zimmerman Architects INTERIOR DESIGN Peace Design BUILDER Yellowstone Traditions
The concept for the siting, the scale of the house, and the landscape was to be reminiscent of an original homesteader’s log house, found in a once-cleared meadow that had gone fallow over the years and was starting to see volunteer vegetation develop. This allowed for the natural landscape to consume the site.
Above: The logs used on the exterior of this home were reclaimed, hand-hewn timbers, so they had the weather/aged appearance to start with. A clear penetrating sealer was used to protect the wood, such as the Rust-Oleum Raincoat.
What We Love About This Home
This mountain house offers its inhabitants a fabulous retreat to enjoy all four seasons of Wyoming, from snowy winters to sun-soaked summers. Expansive windows and warm, inviting interiors frame breathtaking views of the rugged terrain beyond. Overall, we are loving this year-round haven where one can relax, explore, and connect with nature in this luxurious yet comfortable mountain refuge.

The owners embraced the concept of doing what appears to be an authentic log house. The entire interior is wood: either log or board. All of the materials were reclaimed.

Above: Natural stone in the shower is inevitably susceptible to build-up or residue. There was a clear-coat seal on the surface applied after installation. Keeping it clean may be hard, but it’s a small sacrifice for such a cool look!
