Wonderful Property

We greatly enjoyed our stay from fishing and tubing in the river to relaxing in the hot tub. The house had everything we needed and many extras (bug spray, movies, yard games). The hosts were incredibly welcoming and gracious and helpful during our stay. We hope to next summer.

Summer Vacay 2023

This place was perfect for our family. There was something for everybody! A short distance from Laramie and Cheyenne. Phil also was a great host offering suggestion on things to do in addition to what we had planned. He also showed my boys the best fishing spots on the river. We will be back!

River paradise

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!

About the host

Hosted by Philip LeBeau

My wife and I purchased the Bear Den/Little Den in 2020. We renovated the entire cabin and created two separate rentals. The rentals provide a peaceful stay along the Big Laramie River in Jelm, WY. We live right across the river in this beautiful area.
