Amazing Cofy House close to town but in a rural neighborhood
Love this house! This is our second time visiting there. The home has all the amenities that you would want, comfy furniture and several fun spaces for people to hang out in small groups or spend some quiet time by the fire or just gazing at the amazing view! Close to everything.

70th birthday celebration
As I wrote in the house diary. "Beautiful, bucolic and peaceful." The location and the accommodations were quite good, and especially the accommodation of our three furry friends - who enjoyed the freedom to run on the very large freshly mowed grass area around the house. The deck was an essential part of the vacation experience and we all enjoyed it day and evening. Having a spacious garage together with a small work bench was very welcome for the fishermen in the group. We enjoyed the ample opportunities to visit the outdoors in Star Valley (Salt and Grey rivers for fishing) together with day trips up to Jackson and the Tetons. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable. The neighbors were quiet and the horses in the nearby pasture were a welcome sight day and night. A really nice place.

Everything works, but...
Turnkey stay, but bring some extra paper products. Windows need work -- some were impossible to open. Very troublesome without A/C (or use the basement -- it's cool down there. The deck was great with the shade pulled out. We would stay here again if the Salt River was clear (landslide upstream muddied the river sufficient to make us fish near Pinedale).

Good Location, Good Value!
We enjoyed our stay in this home in Star Valley. It is a solid value with lots of room for our family. Good furnishings and more than enough cooking implements for families that want to cook their own food (we especially loved the air fryer!).The overall cleanliness was adequate, it is pet friendly so be prepared for some pet stains. This is a solid place to stay if you are looking for a good value and a beautiful location in Star Valley!

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Wilson

Host profile image
Our family grew up in the beautiful Star Valley and Jackson Hole area. It has been a place that brings joy and peace to our lives while enjoying, river rafting, snowmobiling, sledding, hiking, skiing and being immersed in nature. We respect the beauty of the mountains and all of the animals we had the privilege of witnessing in their natural environment. Sitting on the porch of this house, waiting for a deer or moose or just enjoying the happy bird sounds is something everyone should have the pleasure of experiencing. Being in The valley has always been the best prescription for reducing stress levels. The people in the valley are as kind and wonderful as the scenery!
