About this property

The Round House is a beautiful yurt-style cabin on top of a private 9 1/2 acre hillside with the winding Salt River below. You'll have views of the Salt as it carves its way through the Narrows, as well as the Willow Creek Valley to the south. Perfect central Star Valley location ideal for fishing or floating the salt. Only 30 min to Palisades Reservoir, 75 min to Jackson, or 90 minutes to Teton Village.

THE VIEWS THE VIEWS THE VIEWS! The Round House sits on a hill atop the banks of the Salt River which winds along this stunning piece of property. Located in Star Valley in an area known as The Narrows, this is a prime central location to all that Star Valley has to offer. Within minutes you can be fishing, floating, snowmobiling, hiking, or mountain biking! Wildlife sightings are not hard to come by. Moose, deer, and even bald eagles frequently make a visit and can be seen right off one of two decks. The property is secluded, surrounded by pines and aspens, the perfect place for you to relax and unwind!

The Round House has parking for 3-4 vehicles. When you enter, feel free to discard your coats, boots, and other items in the mudroom. The main room offers 180-degree views with a large table that seats 8 and a cozy sitting area with a 70 inch tv. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need to stay in for the evening or feel free to eat at one of the many restaurants within 15 (Afton) or 10 minutes (Thayne). Each town offers a grocery store as well (closed on Sundays). Host a BBQ with the grill on the deck and spend your mealtime overlooking the spectacular views below. There is plenty of space to go around with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You'll be able to sleep 8 comfortably with 2 king beds and double bunks in the kids room. There are 4 extra mattress pads if needed. Kids will get a kick out of the "ninja course" about 200 yards down the hillside trail. The house is stocked with toys, board games, a pop-a-shot, and even a nintendo switch to keep all the children happy!

The Round House is ready to be your host for your long-awaited mountain getaway!

4x4 is required for winter access. Chains or studs are also recommended.

Lovely little [good] surprises

We were pleasantly surprised how accommodating this home was for our growing family. We found a pack n play and a high chair and child friendly cups and spoons (which was not listed on the rental). There were a few yellow jackets nearby which we took care of with bug spray that was at the house. I gave this place overall a 4 only because my daughter and I have pet allergies, and there must have been a cat on site because we had to take our allergy meds, but that's not an inconvenience since we keep our meds handy. Other than that, we saw moose and some other wildcat and the views are impeccable. I highly recommend this house.

Roundhouse in Afton

Clean, spacious home with an amazing view! You will need a 4wd vehicle but it's worth the extra cost if renting. We found many necessities stocked. Lots of extra light switches.

Amazing view!

We had a great time and there were lots of activities available for inside and outside to keep the kids entertained. Nate answered my texts and calls immediately and was easy to talk to.

A wonderful week.

We were very comfortable in the round house. The views were amazing! I especially enjoyed the stars at night! We hope to be able to stay again. We are in Star Valley several times a year.
