About this property

BEAUTIFUL 5 STAR LOG HOME ON 26 ACRES! LAKE VIEWS, STOCKED POND, 18 MILES TO YNP

We call our home Valhalla Ranch as an ode to my father, the ultimate Viking of our family, because this was his heaven. We encourage you to bring your family and enjoy one of Island Park, Idaho’s most sought after locations. Our beautiful cabin is set back on its own private paradise of 26 majestic acres with its own private pond and stream. We stock the pond with rainbow trout making fishing one of the children's favorite activities. Valhalla's magnificent views will have you mesmerized for hours gazing at Henry’s Lake, one of the top fishing lakes in the country, or scouring the mountainside for wildlife that migrate through the area. And the best part is that the house is just 14 miles from the gates of Yellowstone National Park!

We offer a spacious 5860 square ft home with four private bedrooms, an open sleeping loft as the 5th bedroom, and three bathrooms for the comfort and convenience of up to 12 guests. All linens are provided for your stay. There is a mini split in the kitchen/dining area as well as one in the primary suite, both providing heat and AC when needed. There are fans in the living room, kitchen/dining area and the two main floor bedrooms. Both the Loft and the main floor bedroom have portable AC units. The downstairs bedrooms stay much cooler in July/August and have floor fans if you need them.

Our open floor plan provides wonderful spaces for families to gather. The large living room, with floor to ceiling windows, is the perfect spot to enjoy the incredible views, watch television, or read and play games. The large kitchen is well stocked and has lots of room for all of the chefs in your group. Enjoy fixing a home cooked meal with family and friends in this well-appointed kitchen or barbecue steaks on the outside grill on the back patio. The dining room seats 8 with additional seating for 4 at the bar. Outdoor dining is encouraged on the expansive wrap around deck.

Enjoy a rousing game of billiards in the downstairs family room or play ping pong in the "kids room". A laundry room with full size washer and dryer are available for your convenience with all supplies provided.

Our outdoors is what sets Valhalla Ranch apart from the rest. Imagine wading in a private stream while watching eagles soar overhead. You will never feel closer to Heaven on Earth than at our little slice of paradise.

Valhalla has Direct TV and a very good reception. Cell phone coverage is excellent.

Here at Valhalla Ranch we offer you just what you need on your vacation whether it's a trip to explore Yellowstone National Park, fishing in one our famous rivers and lakes or simply enjoying nature. We look forward to your arrival and enjoy your stay!

Awesome place!!

We had a wonderful reunion vacation with our family of 8 from other states! Plenty of room for the eight of us. I would only say that if there were more people, it would have been a little more difficult with only three bathrooms. But awesome views and a beautiful place to stay! Can’t wait to book again for another time!

Spacious Family Home

Had a wonderful stay with family at Valhalla! Although we only stayed for four nights, we had a great time, cooking meals in the spacious kitchen and playing games on the front lawn. We also caught a few trout in the small pond! We drove into Yellowstone a couple of days and stocked up on supplies in West Yellowstone. Enjoyed great birdwatching from the expansive deck and the lake view of course never gets old. After hearing the elk bugle here and there for a few days, we finally got to watch a herd on the mountains behind the house. The property is a lovely respite and worth the little extra time to stay outside the park and be able to do your own cooking and laundry! If you have a big group that wants to stick together with accommodations —Valhalla is for you!

Wonderful Stay!

The property and home were both just amazing! They outdoor deck/s were perfect, enjoyed quite a bit of time there! The owner understands that the little things can make all the difference! For example, they had laundry detergent available which is much appreciated when traveling. Also available were baggies, some condiments and some things that are hard to travel with or you just forget to purchase but really need. Owner was very timely in all communications which was just great! Would definitely stay again.

This was a spectacular place for us! The house is equipped with anything you need and plenty of space for all 12 of us. The views are stunning! It’s in an excellent location for Yellowstone and all of the surrounding activities. We enjoyed hiking, fishing, Yellowstone, white water rafting, horseback riding and a rodeo. So much laughter and so many memories made here. Thank you for all of your hospitality.

Something for Everyone

Pictures don’t do justice here, absolutely breathtaking views all around! We came to visit Yellowstone and of course that was incredible but the entire family had the best times just hanging out at the property. There were lawn games, we caught fresh trout in the private pond, (delicious BBQ) the pool table was a big hit and so many cozy places to just sit and enjoy the views. Would definitely come again and would recommend 100%

The Most Amazing Place at Yellowstone

We absolutely loved staying at Valhalla. The property and house are absolutely beautiful. The view was stunning. It was close to Yellowstone and the things we wanted to do. Our kids had a blast with the games and activities in the house. The house was equipped with every possible thing you could need for cooking. Cellular reception worked well. The property owner/manager Rosalyn was very helpful and accommodating. Honestly our experience at Valhalla was as perfect of an experience as anyone could expect. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend Valhalla to anyone that is looking for an amazing place to stay near Yellowstone.

Truly Exceeded my Lofty Goals

What an absolutely amazing place! All of my family were blown away. The views were simply amazing, but then the house itself was beyond compare. Everyone from our group wants to leave their mundane existences back in the real world behind, and move to Valhalla! Not to be glossed over also the property manager was very helpful. I made a special request of some ski poles to use to walk longer distances in the park due to a muscular disorder. Not only did they come yup with one pair, they had two! One of them definitely worked better than the other, and I was off and running (or slowly walking actually). Thank you again for a stay that will be very difficult to top.

Would give 10 stars if possible

We had 2 families (4 adults/4 kids ages 7-11) stay at Valhalla for a week and we couldn't have been happier. The home is clean, spacious and well equipped with amenities and activities for all. Communication with the owners and the checkin process was simple and efficient. Yellowstone was very close, as was the town of West Yellowstone that has great shops and restaurants. We were also thrilled by the local hiking, tubing and kayaking opportunities that were within a half hours drive, and saw lots of wildlife in our travels. Absolutely recommend this property!!

Valhalla, heaven indeed!

Wow! This home and its surrounding beauty left my family and I in awe. Pictures can't capture how truly beautiful it is. A trip to Yellowstone National Park led us to booking this property since it is only 14 miles from the West Gate/Entrance. All the comforts of home away from home. We had a great time bonding and taking in the breath taking sceneries/landscape of this home. We even saw some mule deer in backyard. We had such a great time that we plan on returning.

Perfect Family Getaway

From the moment we arrived, we were in awe at the amazing house and property. The views from multiple locations throughout the house were breathtaking. The house provided numerous activities for all, such as the fishing pond, pool table, ping pong table, games and more. Additionally, the surrounding landscape provided opportunities to view bears, elk, and even a grey fox. It was only a short distance to the West Entrance of Yellowstone. We would definitely rent this property again since it comfortably accommodated all of our family of 11 members.

So much to love

I could never put into words how amazing this house is. There were 8 adults and 5 kids with plenty of space. It was spotless. The attention to detail is unmatched. So many small gestures that go a long way, such as a welcome text informing us of weather as well as local jam as a gift! I have stayed at several VRBO’s. This one felt more like we were staying in a HOME. Fully stocked kitchen with allll the spices. My favorite part of all is the amazing deck. So many memories made on that deck.
