40-acre haven on the banks of the Fall River

Private mountain retreat located on the banks of the Fall River, 14 miles East of Ashton, ID. 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.

The Fall River Ranch Resort is newly listed for rentals under new ownership. This is an opportunity to book dates that are normally booked more than a year in advance.

The main lodge sits along the river and has over 3,000 sq feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and has an expansive 2,000 sq. foot wrap around deck to enjoy the sights and sounds of the river and surrounding forest. The lodge features a large great room, with vaulted ceiling, fully remodeled oversized kitchen, separate sitting room, two fireplaces, and pool table.
The guest house is located across the circular entry drive from the lodge and can comfortably sleep 24. The lower level of the guest house has 5 converted horse stalls, each with two single beds. The lower level also has two full bathrooms, laundry, and a game room with a ping pong table. The 2,000 sp foot upper level has four private bedroom suites, each with a private full bathroom and minibar. The suites also share a full kitchen and a large balcony/deck with a view of the Fall River. Contact host for reduced pricing from November through April if only the main lodge is needed.

Beautiful Wedding Weekend
The Fall River Ranch was the perfect backdrop to our small, intimate wedding. Everyone had the best time and it was everything we could have imagined. I got several comments from people saying that the beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. There was plenty of room for our whole party and lots to do on the property. I would definitely recommend this place!

Annual family get away
Great place to have a family reunion. There were 28 of us which meant having enough beds and bathrooms was a plus for us. The river was a gorgeous site to see every morning and evening. The kids and most of the adults also floated the river...multiple times. We also took a day to visit different sites, like Mesa Falls and Old Faithful. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Reunion
It was a great place to stay. The location is beautiful, so peaceful right on the river. We enjoyed playing pickle ball, ping pong and paddle boarding and fishing on the pond. It was close to Yellowstone and hikes to various waterfalls in the area. The owner and the manager were great to work with.

Great getaway
The property was just as it was displayed on the website. There was more than enough space to accommodate our entire group and keep them busy. Fishing, basketball, pickleball and ping pong. Everyone had a great time and would stay again.

Such a wonderful trip!
There is nothing I can say about this property that would do it justice. The property was amazing and the river was better than any white noise machine on the market. We definitely will be back!

River and Living Room
The property is beautiful, the river never gets old and the living/dining space was large enough for a group of 28 of us to move around comfortably. Don't expect luxury, but it's perfectly comfortable. If I have any bones to pick it would be with the sleeping quarters in the barn and the texture of the sports court. The first floor of the barn has I believe 12 beds, sectioned off in pairs by "walls" that don't go to the ceiling. You can definitely fit a lot of bodies in there, but it is essentially one large room, and the mattresses are loud and uncomforatble. The other critique I'd have is the sports court (which was brand new) is very slippery. Playing basketball, especially, guys were falling over left and right. All of this being said, the two fire pits, hot tub, privacy, and the property itself were some of the factors making this place somewhere we'd come back to.
