About this property

Beautiful lakeside retreat - Perfect for the adventuresome family -pet friendly

The Lake House at Picture Rock Ranch is located in the stunning Torrey Valley Canyon 12 miles from the town of Dubois. The completely rebuilt historic cabin features two bedrooms with views of Tail Lake, one and 1/2 baths, full kitchen and laundry, a screened in front porch, wood stove, and a pull out coach to sleep up to six people.

Enjoy the serenity of the water at your front door and the beauty of the Ross Lake Glacier in your back yard. Take your morning coffee on the dock and watch the sunrise on the peak of the Absaroka mountains. Spend some time paddling on the lake in a canoe or kayak, or try your hand at tricking a trout with world class fly fishing in the lake or on the Torrey Creek that runs through the property. Take a short hike to the Indian petroglyphs (ancient Indian rock carvings) on property and in the canyon, or hike the many trails surrounding the Lake House. A campfire and smores might be a great ending to your day.

My family and I really loved this cabin. We are all originally from WY but live in CO now. I love WY and this place is perfect. You are out on your own with no one around - exactly the kind of experience I like. Jerry was really very nice and accommodating. We appreciate all the effort he put in. We literally had everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thanks Jerry.

A Fabulous Retreat!

We had a great time at the Lake house. Jerry was a welcoming host and the cabin is just as it appears in the pictures. Our stay was the perfect combination of activity and relaxation. We paddled around the lake, took a short hike, put together a puzzle in the screened in porch, explored the town of Dubois. There is as much (or as little!) to do as anyone would like. We're already thinking about a return visit.

The Lakehouse is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. This was our second time staying here and Jerry is always friendly and accommodating, we love the lake for canoeing, fishing and the breathtaking views. We are animal lovers so we especially enjoy Jerrys horses and dogs on property. We bring our dogs and they love playing with Jerrys dogs on the lake. The worst part about this place is packing up and leaving. We look forward to the next time we can make it here again.

This was the perfect place for our family vacation! We loved being surrounded by nature and having all the fun activities to do. Being right on the lake allowed for us to fish, kayak, and relax on the shore. We were a short drive to the trailhead which allowed for quick access to the beautiful mountains. There were plenty of ORV trails and roads for us to explore as well. The Lake House was a perfect “home away from home.” We loved the personal touch of our home-state flag that greeted us upon arrival.

We enjoyed the cabin and location so much in our first stay, last year, that we came back for a second year. Glad we did. The hikes, the country, the paddles and life at the cabin and on the porch - another fine family get together in this beautiful valley in this well-kept historic cabin.

Fantastic, connected, remote getaway

We had an amazing week at the lake house. Its in a gorgeous spot, near a trailhead with miles of hiking, ancient rock art, and a chain of lakes (w/ good fishing). We spent a week there "working" remotely (during COVID) and it couldn't have been a better getaway for that type of thing. Kids, dog, and grownups all had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Falco

Host profile image

My name is Jerry Falco and I am the owner of the Lakehouse at Picture Rock Ranch. My wife Kate, son Kurt and I live on the property. We have two adult daughters that come back to the Ranch often to visit and enjoy the area. We have been coming to the Dubois area for vacations for over 30 years and decided to make this property our permanent residence in 2016.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Picture Rock Ranch after a 3 year search. We met the owners, shared coffee and purchased the property on a handshake. We immediately knew that this property was perfect for our lifestyles. The property has 4 houses on it. The main house where we live, the guest house for our friends and adult children to stay, the Beck House where our caretakers live and the Lakehouse which is listed on VRBO for the summer months only. Our horses enjoy the corral and paddock areas and we love riding into the mountains surrounding the property.

What makes this property unique

The Torrey Valley in which we live is one of the most beautiful locations in the Dubois area. We wake up in the morning to the sun coming up over Trail Lake and the Absaroka Mountains and watch it go down over Ross Lake Glacier. Our visitors constantly ask us if we ever tire of the view - we do not! The Ranch also provides the perfect location for horseback riding, fishing, hiking and enjoying the wilderness area surrounds us.
