Perfect Den for Mama & Papa bears

Absolutely lovely! Updated and well planned use of space. This cabin delivers comfortable, clean, expanded amenities with gorgeous surroundings. The teenagers could disperse and then come back together with a choice of areas to unify as a family. 2 patios, a hot tub, a nice mud room for ski stuff, nice den, gorgeous great room with dining and plenty of open space, sunshine, and outstanding views of river wildlife. Well heated, attention to detail, well stocked with everything you may have forgotten. Quiet, beautiful, peaceful. Just what we needed. Great hosts, sorry we never met, but sure appreciate your hospitality!

Perfect In Every Way

The title says it all. We do a fair amount of VRBO rentals and this house was by far the best when it comes to details and amenities. The owner has thought of everything. The property is beautiful. The stars and the sound of the river were two of our favorites while sitting outside. We highly recommend this house. We will be back.

Enchanting house!

Beautiful get-away on the Big Laramie River. House was perfect for our family to spend time together. Loved spending time outside on the porch by the Chimenea having a fire going, taking in the views and lots of laughs. We took the ATV’s out during the day on the trails. It was a wonderful vacation where memories were made.

Fantastic property, extremely quiet and relaxing. Great location along the river. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed playing in the big yard and river. House was very well appointed and very clean. So many things to do in the area and wildlife viewing, hiking, and fishing were our priority. Hot tub was bonus and nice way to wind down after a day full of activities!
