Golf on the beautiful golf course designed by Johnny Miller on the highway south of Afton.

There is great fishing in Star Valley! There are stores on Main Street that can sell you a license and tell you where the fish are biting and what kind of flies or bait to use.

Mountain biking, tubing on the Salt River, and kayaking are popular.

National Forest picnic sites are available at Allred Flat. Two city parks provide playgrounds and picnic facilities.

The mountain pass at the south end of the valley has great hiking in the summer and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails in the winter. You can even get a permit to cut your own Christmas tree in the National Forest on top of the mountain pass.

Great skiing just 70 miles north in Jackson.
Between Afton and Jackson, the Snake River provides world-class rapids for rafting or canoeing.

Yellowstone National Park is 125 miles north. Star Valley makes a great base for exploring the park away from the crowds.

Perfect location in amazing Afton

We spent almost a week in Afton and the house was the perfect jumping off place. Great location close to everything yet so peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed the fire pit, the large yard, and the very cozy home. The house was the perfect size for us-there were four of us and two full bathrooms plus a half bath was a luxury. Susan was a pleasure to work with and I really appreciated that she was able to answer any questions and also welcomed our feedback. Thank you Susan!

Lovingly kept in original condition

You can tell that this property was lovely built and has been just as lovely kept. It had everything that we needed. We stayed for a week and used mostly as a place to sleep since our family has outgrown grandma's house.

Fantastic Home in Star Valley

This home is a nice as any VRBO I've ever had. Roomy, well appointed. The retro 1950's decor was classic and elegant. Absolutely loved our stay. We had some family drop by to visit and they have asked for the link to the property. Not sure I'll give it to them, I want to keep this one for myself. Susan was super to work with.

Very Very Clean and 50's style home. It was wonderful. Te beds are comfy too. Such a pretty view of the mountains in beautiful Star Valley Wyoming. Walking distance to everything in town. Close to the beautiful Star Valley Temple as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Our family loved it.

Nice home, neat and clean.

Very nice home in a residential neighborhood. Stayed here while on business with two coworkers. Our use was restricted to sleep and occasional use of the TV and Internet. Quiet, spacious and clean. Deer roam the neighborhood in the evening and early morning!

Star of the Valley

Our family of eight stayed here for a nice weekend in Afton...gorgeous views from the front and back of the house...extremely comfortable beds with plenty of room for everyone. As regular users of VRBO, we really appreciated all the amenities this house had to offer, especially in the kitchen...plenty of dishes, cookware, and condiments. For our children the WiFi was a plus and the whole family enjoyed to ping pong table and how close we were to several beautiful drives/hikes into the mountains...Cottonwood Lake is a "must see" for anyone who loves the mountains and breathtaking views. We will be back.

Great place!

We stayed at this property last week for a family reunion - and it was a perfect fit for us because it was so close to another family members home. Much better than booking a room at the Lazy B motel! We'll probably always try and get this home when we're in Afton again!

Star of the Valley

We rented this home while attending graduation, Ordination and Eagle Court of Honor for our grandson and Dance recitals for our granddaughter. We had children from 18 to 5 yrs and all enjoyed themselves and no one was under foot. The yard is just gorgeous and very quiet. We enjoyed 4 wonderful days here and will definitely be back. I Highly recommend it. It is full of character and shows a great pride of workmanship.

Great Rental

Our company was doing some work in the are and instead of getting 4 separate hotel rooms we were able to rent this house. Being able to come back to a house in the evenings makes working out of town a lot easier. Everything in the house was comfortable and clean. Even in the winter Afton is a great little town to visit!

Lovely Home

We rented this home while attending a wedding in Afton. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The owners were accommodating and easy to work with. The view was lovely and there were quite a lot of deer hanging out in the backyard. I highly recommend it.

A perfect place to relax and unwind!

We booked the "Star of the Valley" because we needed a break from the city. As we drove into Star Valley, we couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Coming over the mountain the aspens were bright gold. Afton is a charming little town with an old fashioned main street. The house, "Star of the Valley," was perfect. We loved the views of the mountains while having breakfast on the patio. We also enjoyed using the fire pit/grill in the back yard to roast marshmallows and make smores. The stars were brilliant without all of the lights and pollution of the city. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there was plenty of space for everyone. The house was a great base for hiking and other outdoor activities. It was convenient to gas and groceries but was on a very quite road across from a nice field. It was very peaceful...I can't remember the last time I had such a good sleep. We will definitely be coming back here!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Cheney

Host profile image
I grew up in this beautiful home, and we were thrilled to be able to purchase it from the family trust after our parents passed away. We love spending time here with our family whenever we can get away.

Why they chose this property

My parents, a pharmacist and a nurse, built this beautiful home in 1960. It has many original and charming features, including a cozy fireplace and built-in cabinetry in each room. Our family has made cherished memories here and we know your family will too!

What makes this property unique

This spacious home has plenty of room to spread out and relax. In the winter, you will enjoy watching your own private herd of deer! One renter wrote, 'We stayed at Star of the Valley for a week last summer. The home was so welcoming. It was beautifully furnished and comfortable. Our favorite thing was the portable fire pit. Each evening we talked and roasted marshmallows and had the camp fire feeling without the camping. There were games to play, movies to watch, and a big grassy backyard to play croquet in. Our little boys liked the play tent and the teenagers loved the ping pong table. We all enjoyed eating our meals outside on the patio. We loved singing around the piano in the living room. With an early start, the home was close enough to visit Jackson Hole and return in the evening.We also enjoyed the hike to the intermittent spring right in Afton. It was very lush and cool. Our family can't wait to stay there again. We had such a great time!' Elizabeth Guertler, Sandy, UT
