Phenomenal!

Such a beautiful property! Fishing was phenomenal right outside the house. The recent rains have brought some unwelcomed mosquitoes but that was to be expected. The house had everything that we needed and we had a relaxing week. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful quiet and very private location.

The property and cabin are well kept and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. The beds and linens were very clean as was the bathroom. There basically is no TV as it was not hooked up to cable or the satellite on the roof. The WiFi comes from the larger cabin and was very weak at best in our cabin. A booster would help tremendously as there is no way to receive emails etc. and there is no cell service nor is there a land line in the smaller cabin. Thank god the pool table was in the cabin as it gave us several hours of great entertainment each night. My oldest son and I brought our enduro motorcycles to ride trails and back roads throughout the are. This was a great location as it sits just off a paved highway and is within a 15 minute ride to great trails in both Wyoming and Colorado. We did enjoy the peacefulness of the property and the night sky is amazing! We enjoyed fishing and caught a few trout however it would have been nice if it mentioned on VRBO this is a catch and release property only. I have stayed at quit a few properties like this over the years and I have to say this place is very nice and clean. Especially when you take into account it’s remote location (not hard to get to though). Really enjoyed our stay and hope to do so again soon. WK Omaha NE.

This is the family home where Ken grew up. My family and I have lovingly restored the property and upgraded the homes. Throughout the years the things that have remained constant are the river and the beautiful surroundings.

Why they chose this property

This is a very special property dating back to the the early 1900's. It has been used as a lodge, fishing destination and retreat over the years. Come explore and fall in love with the simplicity of a time gone by.

What makes this property unique

Easy! Fish, Cook, Grill, Play Pool or simply do nothing. Big sky nights, river, and hikes, what more could you want?
