• Queen bed in the private bedroom
• Two twin beds in the loft
• Full-size futon in the living area

This was a great place to stay on our family vacation! We have a 3 year old and he loved his loft room to sleep in and being able to play outside with kid-friendly toys. It was very quiet, peaceful, and a great place to hang out in between hiking and other adventures. The hosts were extremely kind, down to earth, and very responsive to anything we needed. Highly recommend!

This was a great place to stay to get a feel of mountain living…peaceful and relaxing come to mind in reminiscence of our week spent there. Probably more fitting for two adults, but our three preteens did enjoy it too!

Deershed Review

The Deershed was precisely as described and better. It provided a lovely haven for a much needed R&R-and the fun animals (dogs and a cat) were the ideal addition. Buffalo is a wonderful place and the Deershed complemented it perfectly.

Stunning location. I’d move right in. Beautiful view of the mountains, horses in the pasture, 2 sweet pups and cats greet you. This place is a slice of heaven. Very clean. Perfect for 1-2 people. Great location. If you can’t tell, I very much enjoyed my stay and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

This clean and cozy place exceeded our expectations! A true gem in a peaceful, private location with a stunning view, and with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The well-appointed kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and the comfortable beds left our family of five rested and refreshed. Our youngest boys found sleeping in the loft particularly fun, and the sweet animals on the property made an extra special welcoming party. If your travels take you near the Big Horn Mountains, look no further for the perfect oasis!
