A custom home designed by Snake River Interiors in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The spa features a steam shower and whirlpool tub. The tub was carefully considered due to the fact that one of the homeowners suffers from back problems. The designer selected a therapeutic tub with both air and water jets for her therapy. The designer also incorporated a fireplace adjacent to the tub to further enhance this luxurious environment.
