The Pines Motel * Guest Haus has been in the Frantz / Nielson family for nearly 50 years. We're John and Nancy Nielson, and our goal is to offer you true hospitality at an affordable price. The atmosphere is that of a small European guesthouse that's surrounded by an acre of tree-covered lawn. Whether your aim is a quick get-away to enjoy that famous Targhee powder, a week exploring the Teton / Yellowstone area or a family reunion, we think you'll find yourself at home with us.
We love to travel, wandering the back roads in our SUV to see what we can discover, or visiting one of our children somewhere around the world. I carry along my camera (and now my phone) and we stop often for pictures. Soaking in hot springs is one of our favorite pastimes while traveling: in pools built near the edges of rivers or up canyons, in commercial pools, and in cattle troughs or bathtubs on BLM or private lands.
Several years back we decided to do something that you might find enjoyable: we post a hot spring photo of us occasionally from one of our trips, and ask you to pinpoint exactly where we are.

My mom (Rosemary) passed on about two years ago.
Many of you who stayed at the Pines in the 70's and 80's may remember her and my dad (Charles) who ran this place together for almost twenty years.
I thought they'd owned it forever, but now John and I will begin our 30th year here in June.
What a ride it's been, and what an example of steadfastness and compassion my folks were to us!
In January last year we decided to join the Airbnb community and try listing some of our rooms with them.
It started out slowly, of course, but as people booked with us and left wonderful reviews of our "eclectic" place, we opened up all our upstairs inside rooms to Airbnb guests.
