Beautifully secluded
What a beautiful cabin with an amazing mountain view. It was spotless when we checked in. We arrived a bit early and Gene was there finishing up a project and was so nice. It is so quiet and we spent our time relaxing and hiking on and off the roads. You’ll spend hours on the porch gazing at the mountains, watching humming birds, or saying hi to the occasional cow that grazes by. Perfect.

OUTSTANDING !!!
Need A/C when outside temp is above 85. Portable A/C doesn't cut it. Could only get 7 windows open ??? Awesome views !! Pictures correctly depict property. It was a bad week with temps in the upper 90's. Finally cooled off for 2 days.

My family loved this cabin. It was clean and very quiet. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Beautiful views. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had necessary items needed to cook. Hosts were very accommodating and communicate quickly if you have any questions. They made sure the cabin air was on before we got there and supplied a few fans if we needed them since temps were higher than what we expected. We will definitely be booking this cabin in the future.

Spectacular!!
Aimee and Gene have a beautiful little place! We loved being in the middle of the forest, the dogs loved smelling all of the new smells (and saying Hello! to the random cows that wandered by). We had great daily walks on the gravel road up and down the hills. The cabin had everything we needed. It was very comfortable, and we enjoyed watching all of the hummingbirds on the porch in the mornings. It would be fun to visit again in the winter. Highly recommended!!

5 Stars!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this property as part of our honeymoon road trip. Gene and Aimee were extremely helpful to us and very cool people generally. They recommended a place to eat, and they went above and beyond to help us find a place to get a donut tire replaced. Very private and secluded property in a beautiful mountain setting. The bed was very comfortable; and the cabin was decorated with antlers and lots of interesting stuff. I would highly recommend this location to others!

About the host

Hosted by Gene Heckel

Host profile image
Gene moved to Wyoming as a young adult, working as a cowboy on ranches and as a guide for outfitters. Aimee moved to Wyoming later in life after having lived on a farm on the east coast and working as a software developer. We met in Chugwater, and married a few years later. Our family grew when Gene's daughters came to live with us in 2015.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the beautiful mountain views and wildlife. We saw a lot of potential in the small, one room dry cabin with a loft for our family of 4. Luckily the cabin was spared in the forest fire of 2018!

What makes this property unique

We built the new addition starting in 2017, we brought water into the cabin in 2019. The rocks that line the base of the new addition were hand carried and placed by my husband and his two daughters. My husband designed and built the addition from 2017-2019. In 2020 we added the garage which is now being used to store personal belongings. We have future plans for 2021 to add a full master bath and suite, along with a laundry and mud room.
