About this property
The Round House above Salt River w/Amazing Views
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.
*The property has an exterior security camera facing the driveway/parking area.*
