Welcome to Pines Motel * Guest Haus in Driggs, Idaho
Pines Motel * Guest Haus has been a family-owned and operated establishment in Driggs, Idaho, since 1941. Our legacy began with the Fowers family, who transformed a historic log cabin into a welcoming overnight destination, and we have continued this tradition of hospitality since acquiring the business in 1991. Our property reflects the charm of a small European guesthouse, nestled on an acre of tree-covered lawn, offering guests a unique blend of comfort and nostalgia. We specialize in creating memorable stays for travelers exploring the Teton and Yellowstone regions, with amenities designed to make every visit comfortable and convenient.Our decades of experience in the hospitality industry have allowed us to refine our service while maintaining the personal touch that distinguishes us from larger chain hotels.
