This secluded 40 acre recreational haven is bordered by the Targhee National Forest and nestled near Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The 1/4 mile long east boundary of the property adjoins National Forest Lands making the back yard millions of acres to be used for hiking, mountain biking, horse back riding, and fly fishing right outside the lodge. If fly fishing on the river is not enough, there is also a private trout pond on the property.

    Lovely home in the middle of nowhere, great appliances, definitely rustic atmosphere. Enjoyed Yellowstone Park immensely, beautiful part of the country.

    Beautiful setting with lots of room to roam and plenty of things to do with a large group. However, there were several things that needed repair (no smoke detectors and broken faucets and drains in two bathtubs) and the lack of air conditioning was a major downer. We had to have fans running constantly during the day and the noise detracted from the peace and tranquility of the site. Not the cleanest place I've stayed at. We expected more for paying 13,000 for 5 days. We enjoyed being together as a family though and accomplished our purpose.

    The property was awesome. So much to do on the property. The property managers were so helpful. Would definitely recommend.

    WOW! This place is beautiful. Our family of 20 had a great time. Plenty (more than enough) space for sleeping, eating, playing, etc. We found plenty of kitchen pots/pans/utensils for making nightly meals.

    We had a group of 24 people and we never got bored! WE played pickleball, fished the pond, played pool, sat by the fire, floated the Warm River and checked out the town of Ashton and had so much fun! Listening to the river all day was so soothing. Can't wait to go back again!!!

    We had a fabulous time with 6 of our 9 kids and 13 of our 15 grandchildren. A sister and her husband were also there. Everyone was in a bed! Third generation slept in the bunkhouse, others in the rest of the bedrooms. The entire place was very clean. The sound of the Fall River was the selling point for me. We did a river float with Rapid River Float in Ashton—very affordable and safe. That was the favorite of the group. We also had a tournament with everyone playing the 3 games of corn hole (provided by Fall River Ranch), ladder golf and bocce ball. Such fun with intergenerational participation— ages 80 to 5. One day, everyone drove the scenic highway to Mesa Falls which was lovely. Another day, everyone left the ranch in their own vehicles to go into Yellowstone. The main house was great for playing pool, cooking meals, baking cakes, game playing, a talent night and napping on the decks. Hot tub was great for old bodies and little kids to splash in. Refrigerator space was adequate, three ovens, stocked with kitchen ware enough for 30. I’m recommending this place to friends who want a place for their 50th anniversary next year. The only improvement I would recommend is to replace the dishwasher and add another one. Thanks so much !

    The setting of the fall river ranch is absolutely beautiful. The gurgling river and tree lined hills provided a beautiful setting for our family reunion. The nearby hiking was spectacular. The physical property was clean and very comfortable. John was very flexible in accomodations a few special requests. I highly recommend this venue. Can't say enough goo things about it

    There were 20 of us for a family reunion and we left still friends and everyone was very happy with the Fall River Ranch. Cons: - If you stay in summer, there is no AC. That said, if there's not a heat wave, then you'll be fine. We had one hot night, and the rest of our stay was beautiful. - Mosquitos. Not much the property can do about that but come prepared. - Some of the property is showing that it's a rental, e.g. broken handles on windows, worn felt on the pool table, gates on the deck railing that don't close. Nothing that will seriously affect your stay. - It wasn't new hotel clean. However, given where it is, I do not envy the cleaning crew trying to get this place spotless. In a location like this, you should expect a little dust and bugs. - The location is out there. If you want to go anywhere, then be prepared to drive. Pros: - The location is amazing. It's out there so you can see stars, feel secluded and enjoy the river. - The deck is as amazing as the pictures would lead you to believe. It's not property owner photography magic. It's the real deal. - The great room is a fantastic gathering place for a bunch of people. The most important measure to me in a review is this, would I stay there again? Yes I would. Here's how I see a 4 star rating: - This is a great place where I would definitely stay again, but it has some issues that are pretty easily dealt with.

    We brought our 3 children & spouses and 8 grandkids here for a week. Our destination was Yellowstone. The property was all that was advertised and beyond our expectations. There was some many dishes and items to prepare food with. We built a fire in the fire pit, made s’mores, fished in the pond, and enjoyed the hot tub. Saturday morning as we were preparing to leave, the battery on one of our rental vehicles was dead. The property manager’s wife brought a jumper box and we all made the plane on time. We would highly recommend this property.
