A Wyoming Retreat Built from Reclaimed Timber and Timeless Craft
This mountain home, located on the western slope of Wyoming’s Teton Range, was designed by Peter Zimmerman Architects and built by Yellowstone Traditions. The architecture replicates a traditional log homesteader cabin using reclaimed materials throughout.
The landscaping is low-maintenance, using native plants and natural stone. Outdoor furniture is built from rough-hewn wood to match the home’s rustic exterior.
Inside, the layout emphasizes functionality and comfort. The living room includes antique oak flooring, exposed reclaimed beams, and a moss rock veneer fireplace. Tall windows frame the mountain views and bring in natural light.
The kitchen features soapstone countertops, reclaimed wormy chestnut cabinetry, and a wood-topped island with rustic lighting. A brick backsplash and custom industrial-style hood complete the design.
The adjacent dining area includes island seating and a secondary sitting area. Reclaimed wood and minimal accessories keep the focus on materials and views.
A unique staircase features a central trunk with exposed roots. Near the stairs, logs and chinking are left visible as part of the structure. The master bedroom includes French doors, a large stone fireplace, and a small seating nook.
The master bath has a soaking tub, marble vanity, and glass shower with a built-in stone bench and rainfall showerhead. One bedroom contains oversized bunk beds and log-built ladders, while others follow the pitched roofline and beam detailing.
A separate outbuilding offers additional seating and a daybed—designed for rest, gear prep, or warming up by the fire.
