Many years after Allison’s first glimpse of the Grand Teton, she ventured out West for a one month sabbatical/ski trip. That was 1995. She has been rooted to the region ever since. A month wasn’t long enough to savor everything the mountain lifestyle had to offer. She packed her bags, brought her horse from Florida, met her future husband, and bought her first house.

For more than 20 years, she has been enjoying the mountain lifestyle and investing in properties. In addition to real estate, her other passions include hiking, traveling, gathering with friends, and cross country skiing.

After several years in Jackson, they moved to “the quiet side” of the Tetons. Their family grew, and they have enjoyed calling Alta their home. They are still residents of Teton County, Wyoming, but the little niche of Alta in “Wydaho” boasts of one church, one elementary school, Grand Targhee Ski & Summer Resort, and no big box stores. To leave by road, residents have to drive to Teton Valley, Idaho and pass through the one stoplight in Driggs.

Allison appreciates the friendliness and accountability of living in a small town. You smile at people passing by, and a “milk run” to the grocery story might result in a dinner invitation. When her sister visits from Florida, she laughs about the relaxed pace she calls “Targhee Time.” They take time to chat with friends on the sidewalk, and the weekly sheriff’s log is dominated by loose cows and lost cell phones not illegal activities and hardened criminals.

Jackson Hole and Teton Valley are  wonderful places to call “home.” Drawing from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, the area boasts an energetic mix of farmers, athletes, educators, artists, second home owners, and cowboys. Teton Valley has the close knit feel of a small town without being close minded, and Jackson offers more hustle and bustle with close proximity to Grand Teton National Park, a thriving art scene, and lots of restaurants and businesses. Stop by for a visit, and you might decide to stay too!

Whether you prefer Teton Valley or Jackson Hole, let Allison be your guide. Allison is licensed in both Idaho and Wyoming. She has lived on both sides of the Pass, and she can show properties throughout both states. For honesty and integrity, you can count on Allison.
