It was perfect! Location was peaceful, accommodations were plenty, and the cabin was super clean. Ree was a wonderful host! We loved our stay, it was exactly what we needed
This cabin was perfect for what we wanted for a snowmobile trip. The hot tub was a perfect touch after a long day, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook the food we brought. Ree was very helpful with accommodating options for the big trailer we had, and very helpful with suggesting other activities to do around the area. Would go back again!
We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property! Very clean and comfortable, it was a great base for exploring the Bighorns and a wonderfully appointed space for our family to relax, unplug, and enjoy each other's company in a quiet and serene setting. I think our kids nearly wore out the cornhole set and hot tub! They were definitely big fans of the record player (a first for our nine-year-old!), the games, the fire pit, and the river's close proximity for fishing! The house is extremely clean and well-appointed, leaving nothing out for a wonderful weekend or longer stay. Ree was great to communicate with. We hope to return soon!
We had such an amazing stay at this cabin! We enjoyed the proximity to the Big Horn Mountains and enjoyed coming back to the hot tub. The hosts were wonderful and gave excellent suggestions for restaurants and things to do. We look forward to returning one day!

We’re thrilled you loved your stay and our little slice of heaven. We can’t wait to host you again!
This stay was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was very clean, comfortable and inviting! It truly felt like a home away from home! My husband and I needed a getaway weekend to recharge and this property was everything we could have asked for! The river is a short easy 1 minute walk behind the cabin. There is a set of chairs there to sit and listen to water run. The front patio was perfect for relaxing with a book and watching the sun set! The stars from the hot tub are unmatched! There is a small town you drive thru on your way in (about 10 minutes away). We got some delicious pizzas from Tongue River Brewing, and a couple very good burgers from The Buckshot while we were there! I will recommend this location to everyone I know! Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely be back!
The house is amazing and lots if added elements make it so comforting and enjoyable. Easy to find, well marked, and great setup. The outdoor added elements of the fire pit, comfy chairs, hammock, and hot tub make it extra welcoming. Loved walking and exploring the area and it made for a very relaxing weekend.

The cabin was beautiful and clean and well stocked with soaps ,shampoo’s. We received baked goods from the owner. She made us feel like we were at home.
The cabin was clean, modern and well-appointed. The property is gorgeous with the Tongue River rushing along just a few yards behind the cabin. The hosts were awesome, with great communication and hospitality and even brought fresh-baked cookies for us! Highly recommended and we'll definitely stay here again!

Thanks, Jon. We're glad you enjoyed your time in the Bighorns and time at the cabin. We hope to see you again real soon! There'll always be fresh home baked cookies or homemade ice cream when our schedules allow. Stay well, Ree Beavers, owner
This is one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed at! So cozy and clean with every amenity to feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch to enjoy morning coffee with an incredible view. The hottub was perfect after a long day of adventuring. River access and hearing the water from the cabin made for a full mountain experience. The host was so friendly and the communication could not have been better! We hope to be back to the Big Horns and could not think of a better place to stay. The location was close to small and inviting towns as well as the mountains for exploring.

Barbara, thanks for your kind words. We absolutely LOVE hosting and hope you'll come back soon! You're always welcome:) Ree
This place was awesome! The cabin location was perfect, right at the base of the mountains, and right off the river. We had a great time, saw plenty of wildlife to include pheasant, whitetail, mule deer, and turkeys every day. The cabin was very clean, and was stocked with everything you need to just stay all weekend. We never wanted to leave. We will be back for sure!
Property was beyond our expectations. A must stay for those visiting the area. Wish we had booked a longer stay here. I recommend this property without hesitation. The only thing i would change is add a dishwasher in the kitchen
The pictures did not do a justice on the website. This is a beautiful cabin on a beautiful lotta land with a little river, running behind it hot tub, ample space view of the mountains. What more could a person want. Came here to walk the medicine wheel at the big horn. This place is perfectly situated far enough away yet close the things that we wanna do.
Nice little cabin close to the river, you could hear it with the windows open. Everything you need and it’s so quiet. Was nice that we could bring our dogs they loved looking out the window and seeing the birds. We got evacuated 3 days early because of the elk fire but would love to come back in the future. Thanks for letting us stay.
We went for a wedding. We did not have much time there. We all said wish we could stay longer and enjoy the cabin and all it has to offer. Beautiful setting. Very peaceful.

Excellent experience. Outstanding hosts. If you are looking for a place to stay anywhere around this area, do not hesitate, book this residence. It was everything I could have asked…
side note : if you are running in any of the Bighorn races, this stay is right on the finishing route. It is about 3 miles from the finish line (.5 mile from the start line - allows you an easy walk to the start rather than find parking on race morning)
Thank you again !
A comfy, cozy place with beautiful views and ambiance
We stayed here with our dogs and we all loved it. It was a perfect home away from home. The home is adorable and gives a real Wyoming feel. We really appreciated the attention to details with a well-stocked kitchen and pretty much anything we could think of we would need in the entire house. The property has a lovely trail mowed out that goes up to the water and a great porch to sit on and watch for wildlife including the hummingbirds frequenting the feeder who were so tame and entertaining. The space was perfect for our dogs. It was quiet and we could hear the river at night with the windows open. Beds were comfy. Such a beautiful spot. We went for several hikes in the area. The scenery is magnificent. This is a fantastic place to stay! Hope to go back someday.

Justin, we're so glad y'all chose to stay with us and I thank you for the kind review! We've added air conditioning and a hottub since your stay so you're definitely going to have to return for another stay! We can't wait to see you and I've been practicing my baking skills hoping to perfect the "cowboy cookie". See you soon, I hope! Ree:)
