Our family of 6 traveled from NM to WY and fell in love with WY in less than a week. The owners went over and above to not only respond in a very timely manner but answered all the questions we had and provided information on various activities in and around the area. Other than the obvious attractions (Grand Tetons and Yellowstone) Ariel Tram in Jackson Hole and Rockin' M Ranch for horseback riding is a must do. Local visits were made to Haderlie Farms for local Honey and Salt River Soap Works, Karen, thank you for the samples of each.
As far as the Aspen Cabin, I don't have enough characters available in this review to do it justice. The cabin was beautiful. It is well constructed with rustic finishes on the outside. The interior is well designed, thoughtful and well thought out to maximize space. The interior design is high end rustic with a vintage flair, beautiful, comfortable yet simplistic. There was plenty of room for all of us to unwind and have our own space after a full day traveling in the car. Coming from a home in NM where our only porch/patio is concrete, most of our down time which included beautiful mornings to watching the moon rise in the evening was spent on the wrap around porches. There are many words to describe the views from not just the cabin but the rest of Wyoming as well but seeing is believing, you just have to see it with your own eyes. The views from the cabin are incredible for as far as you can see and to wake up to those views was priceless. Star Valley is such a friendly community, met several folks on the 1st hole as we relaxed on the porch. The Valley Market, same, very helpful and friendly folks. You don't need a membership to get the sale prices. Keep your grocery receipt. The gas station right by the Valley Market offers a discount on gas when you shop at the Valley Market. You can get $0.05 or $0.10 off gas per gallon depending on if you spend $50 or over $100 on groceries.
If you are looking to get away from the fast pace of life, this Star Valley Ranch property is for you and I guarantee you will find it inviting, comfortable and relaxing.
Robert and Karen, you are amazing, thank you for the wonderful family vacation it was exactly what we were hoping for and exceeded our expectations.
All our best,
The Halbert Family
