The cabin is unique and historic as well as peaceful with just the water racing past. We got a little lost on the dirt road but they came and assured us we were in the right place. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Cabin!

First and foremost, five stars for the cabin and location. I have no complaints. The cabin has everything we needed to have a great stay. Check in and out was seamless and easy. The location is beautiful with a creek flowing nearby.A few things to note. There is a house nearby within sight of the cabin. The cabin host has taken some steps to increase the privacy with landscape fencing. We were there for four nights and actually never saw anyone else. The other thing is that while we were there, the creek with the walking bridge over it in front of the cabin was dried up. No big deal for us as there is another creek 100 yards behind the cabin.Overall, no complaints about the cabin or property. We would definitely stay there again!

Magical little spot.

It’s an authentic little mid-1900’s cabin located in the backwoods of one of wyomings best hidey-hole towns. It has every amenity you could really need, but there’s nothing fancy. That’s the charm - It’s perfectly fitting to its surroundings. Drinking coffee in front of the creek was an absolute treat. Only thing I have to mention is that there was a single, very bold, little mouse. Though it doesn’t bug me, it could freak others out. (Just keep your stuff off the floor. You’re staying in a vintage guest cabin in the hills of wyoming, people - what do you expect? 😂) He’s there to clean up the crumbs after you make your breakfast - we named him Esteban.

Amazing getaway

We loved our stay at the cabin, and we look forward to returning next year. This classic mountain cabin was built in the 40’s by the owner’s family. They even have the guest books all the way back to the beginning. They were a lot of fun to read through. The amenities are simple, humble, and perfectly appropriate for a very comfortable stay. We were here a week, and wanted to stay longer. The cabin sits right above one gorgeous stream, and a larger branch is a short walk behind the cabin. The sound of rushing water is constant and wonderful. When we first pulled in, we were a bit disappointed by a large house under construction, which is quite close to this cabin. We soon realized that the setup is such that you only really see it when you drive in and out, and the privacy you feel while at the cabin is perfect. The hosts were very friendly and responsive, and helpful with local tips and recommendations. We’ll be back soon!

Fantastic Cabin

Storybook Cottage was all we had hoped for. Beautiful scenery and the sound from the stream lured us to sleep at night. There was a white rabbit hoping around and my granddaughter loved it. Marilyn was fantastic to work with. We will be back!!!
