About this property

Henry's Fork Ranch offers 2 miles of private river access and a lot more!

The Henry's Fork Ranch offers guests 2 miles of private access to the renowned Henry's Fork of the Snake River. This section of river is very wadable or floatable, but most important , 80% of the fish caught off our banks measure 16 inches or more. The ranch is a 500 acre working cattle ranch that caters to the outdoor enthusiast. Ranch activities include fly fishing, bird watching, waterfowl hunting, sight seeing, relaxing, and cross country skiing. Since we offer one solitary cabin, you'll share the ranch with the host, cattle, horses and sheep, but no other guests.


Fishing on the Henry's Fork: The Henry's Fork of the Snake River is open year round for fishing. Most anglers prefer to fish with flies but the river allows rod casting as well. This stretch of the river is designated as a wild fishery so it has limits and restrictions. The fishery is very healthy and big Rainbow and Brown Trout are the norm for anglers.

Henry's Fork Ranch is in the middle of it all: The Henry's Fork Ranch is centrally located near many of the areas major attractions. Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are within a short drive. There is also Jackson Hole Wyoming, West Yellowstone and St. Anthony Sand Dunes. The ranch sits on the bank of the Henry's Fork but there are the South Fork of the Snake River, Madison River, Warm River, Fall River, Robison Creek, and numerous other streams. We also have major lakes like Henrys Lake, Island Park Reservoir, Hebgen Lake, and Ashton Reservoir to fish.

Year round activities: The ranch provides an environment for many migrating birds and waterfowl. Bird watchers come to see a wide variety of bird species such as Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese, Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Osprey and a wide variety of songbirds. Other nearby activities include ATV riding, Golfing, Horseback riding, hiking, rafting, skiing and snowmobiling depending on the time of year. Waterfowl hunting is available on the ranch and big game hunting is nearby.

We just wrapped up a stay at Henry’s Fork Ranch and it’s one we’ll be talking about for a while. Property Views: The ranch is genuinely beautiful. You’re surrounded by wide-open country and the views from the cabin alone are worth the trip — big skies, quiet mornings, and sunsets that stop you in your tracks.Fishing: If you’re an angler, the private river access here is a major win. We fished all over and would put this stretch of the river up against most/ any spots we visited in the area.Cabin: The cabin was spotless and thoughtfully kept. Clean linens, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and everything worked. It felt cared for, not just rented out. Hosts: Bill and Teresa went above and beyond. From check-in tips to local fishing pointers, they were responsive, kind, and clearly proud of the place. Teresa even had delicious homemade cookies waiting for us when we arrived — such a warm, personal touch that set the tone for the whole stay. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference.Overall: If you want beautiful scenery, great fishing, and hosts who actually care, this is it. We came to unwind and fish — left recharged and already planning to come back.

Katie, It was our pleasure to have you stay with us. I hope you had a chance to relax with your family and enjoy the ranch and the area. Your stay was short with us so you didn't have a chance to experience all that we and the area offer our guests. Since we have so many returning guests we hope you will become one of our regulars who enjoy the ranch with us. Take care and thank you for the nice review.

Every bit of our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The hosts were wonderful communicators, giving insight to the history of the ranch, the surrounding attractions and the local’s favorites. We felt like family the entire stay and still do! The home was immaculate, well stocked, and cozy. This cabin is a wonderful place to quiet your life, be intentional with those you love, reflect or inspire, discover, wonder and explore. Its location is perfect for all the surrounding national parks and attractions but it’s also like your own private hideaway.

Great cabin on a working ranch

Awesome location, off the beaten path on the banks of the Henry's Fork. Bill and Teresa were fantastic hosts and even stopped by to invite us to go to a local rodeo with them one night. Lots of great activities in the area, and the fishing on the ranch was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Amazing stay at Ranch!

We spent a terrific 3 nights at Henry’s Fork Ranch in July 2016. An easy distance from Jackson Hole and West Yellowstone, it was the perfect area to relax in the midst of a busy itinerary. Bill and Teresa are incredible hosts and were extremely accommodating. The area has much to offer - just ask Teresa! Our group ended up attending a local rodeo, renting tubes Jube’s Tubes, and visiting Mesa Falls. The cabin has everything one could need. We loved being greeting by the ranch dogs and watching the sheep in the adjacent fields. The cattle in the distance made the ranch experience complete. There were amazing photos opportunities of the beautiful river, ranch and the nighttime sky. Never have I seen so many stars. I would highly recommend Henry’s Fork Ranch and hope to visit again!
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2020
The summers here where the ranch is located certainly dose have plenty of different things to do and see. It kind of an oasis in the middle everything. Guests have plenty of activity options to choose from depending on the season. Now that it is Fall, the wildlife are appearing more often and starting to migrate. On top of that, there are the amazing sunrises and sunsets that always are a great way to start and end each day. The sounds and sights of nature here at the ranch almost gives you a sensory overload. Winter is just around the corner and with that season comes plenty of different things to do and see while it is nice and white and clean. We're glad you had a good time in July. Remember the cabin is available year round.

Home Sweet Home

I’ve never written feedback before, but knew I had to this time. Staying at the Henry’s Fork Ranch was a truly wonderful experience! We did many things away from the ranch, but returning each day to the ranch was like returning to our own little home sweet home. The cabin was perfect in every way and exceptionally clean! My husband and boys loved being able to go out the back door and down to the river to fish. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and taking in the beauty of the view around me. I was so peaceful. Teresa made a us a wonderful meal our first night, which was one of my best decisions after a long day of travel! My picky son kept begging us to have her cook again. We came home late one night to the most delicious chocolate chip cookies ever and enjoyed a bonfire and s’mores one night with Teresa and Bill. Bill and his son invited us to join in on shooting potatoes across the river with their potato shooter, which all boys…husband included…thought was a blast! Bill and Teresa were always available to help in any way. In short, they did everything they could to make our stay special…which it SO was! They truly made their home our home for the week, from the amazing star-filled sky to the music of the sheep all around. We came as strangers, but truly felt we left as friends. With much thanks Bill and Teresa!!

Wonderful cabin and wonderful people

If you are looking for a beautiful cabin in a peaceful setting on the bank of a world-class trout river, this is it. The fishing was so good that we didn’t move far from the cabin to fish... but the ranch sits on more riverfront than you could fish if you stayed for months. The cabin was spacious, clean, well-decorated and it was stocked with everything you would have at home. We were made to feel comfortable and welcomed by the Fuchs. Access to Yellowstone National Park is about an hour’s drive north, so it is a great place to visit the Park from if you don’t mind the drive and want to avoid crowds. Famed trout fishing spots on Henry’s Fork in the Island Park/Harriman State Park area are an easy 30 mile drive to the north of the ranch. I had heard that the trout on Henry’s Fork were “difficult” and “selective”. I did not find this to be the case. In fact, it was the opposite. The Grand Teton mountain range can be seen from the road as you drive, so the scenic beauty is everywhere and photography enthusiasts will have plenty to keep them inspired. A visit to Mess Falls, only a few miles from the ranch, Is well-worth the journey. I would definitely recommend this cabin and location if you are an avid fly fisherman or want to combine fly fishing with national park visits... while escaping the crowds. This location is not the Mecca of nightlife. The town of Ashton is about 6 miles away.... and has nearly everything you need...but it is a quiet farm town. I highly recommend the cabin and definitely want to return myself.

Guests like the fact that they can simply walk out of the cabin and start fishing. No driving to start fishing and you avoid the large crowds.
