Very well maintained cabin with great amenities on scenic river

The property was well maintained and we thought one of the most well stocked rental we have had in years as far as kitchen essentials, extra towels etc. Very clean with nice landscaping and outdoor amenities and beautiful little Laramie River in the front yard.

The property was very nice. Access getting with a trailer is very difficult. Don’t recommend having family or friends over to see you they will charge you extra at the end !!! Our son came to see us as we traveled over 15 hours and he lived a few hours away. Wound up storming bad so he slept there we were charged an extra 200. All about the money here.

Enchanting house!

Beautiful get-away on the Big Laramie River. House was perfect for our family to spend time together. Loved spending time outside on the porch by the Chimenea having a fire going, taking in the views and lots of laughs. We took the ATV’s out during the day on the trails. It was a wonderful vacation where memories were made.

About the host

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.
