Rent an Idyllic Caboose Cabin in the Middle of Rural Wyoming!

Fall is a great time to visit Wyoming for a myriad of reasons. We visited Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone National Park, all of which was amazing, breathtaking and incredible — and we probably wouldn’t have done it at all without the generous courtesy of Fireside Resorts, which invited me out to try out their Caboose Cabin rental in the town of Wilson, about 10 minutes from downtown Jackson.

Now, I’ve heard a lot about these “tiny” houses over the past few years, but to be honest I hadn’t paid a ton of attention because we have lived in cities where, for the most part, our living spaces have been what can only be described as small. Having said that, there is something altogether different about the likes of the small house that we were lucky enough to stay in through Fireside Resorts. These houses, while tiny, are not only beautiful and state-of-the-art, but the views simply couldn’t get any better.

Here’s a bit of what the inside looked like:

The master bedroom had a closed-off porch attached, which was right next to the grilling area and a babbling brook. Talk about idyllic!

The loft upstairs held two beds.

The next morning we were able to see what the view from our cabin truly was …

Ahh, tetons. I could stare at you all gosh darn day!

The brook next to our cabin.

Our first morning at the cabin was happily spent sipping coffee on the front porch, overlooking the Tetons, while planning our trip to the National Park that day.

When the keys to your rental come attached to a Swiss Army knife, you just know your stay is going to be bad-ass!

If you have ever considered renting a tiny home in lieu of a regular hotel in the past, now is the time to do it.
