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.

Pictures don't do this cabin justice. It's like staying in the Enchanted forest, peaceful, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.The host Marilyn and her son Chris were more than responsive in their communication and made everything a breeze.Didn't want to leave, will definitely be returning hopefully sooner than later.

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!

Perfect Getaway

Our family of 4 really enjoyed this cozy, rustic cabin with so much family history & character! The setting surrounded by tall trees and running creek was peaceful and a great home base to explore the Bighorns. Friendly, responsive hosts and we felt very welcome. Hope to return again!

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!!!

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.
