Enjoy your stay in Thermopolis at this newer construction, 3 bedroom 2 bath home. The Big Horn river is one of the best fisheries in the state, and you have access to it right outside your doors. On any given morning it is the norm to see pheasants or deer walking by, along with many different species of waterfowl enjoying the waters of the river. Easy access to the town of Thermopolis, which offers a world class dinosaur museum, and two commercial swimming pools where you can enjoy the water from the natural mineral hot springs. Boysen reservoir is 30min away, while the scenic town of Cody, and Yellowstone Park are within a 2 hour drive. The Riverview Guesthouse is great if you are in town to fish, hunt, explore the local area, or for a base while making day trips. We do not have a TV with DVD player and HD antenna for local channels. Our intent with this guesthouse is to help people engage more with each other and their surroundings, while getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The location is ideal to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, and board games are provided if weather keeps you indoors. The trout fishing along this stretch of the river is very good with both public and private access to the river. This location allows nearly 6,000 feet of public fishing access along the river bank downstream from the house, and almost 2,000 feet of private river access upstream. We do have kayaks available on request, along with tour opportunities in Thermopolis and the surrounding area.

Everything was great. The house was perfect for the four adults in our group. Beds were comfortable, great outdoor seating areas and wonderfully close to the river. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back next year!
Place was perfect for a small group of guys. Close enough to town but also just far enough away. Fishing is good out front but you need a raft/kayak to get on the islands so keep that in mind.
Beatiful setting with a lovely, clean home. So very peaceful and quiet. Close to town for museum and hot springs adventures. Dont miss eating at the One Eyed Buffalo. Surperb host with great help finding the "lost" remote! Highly recommend this very well thought out escape!
This is our third year in a row renting this property for our spring break and we always enjoy it. There’s always wildlife on the river to watch while we enjoy some unplugged down time as a family.
Great location, beautiful views overlooking river, and mountains in the distance. Very comfortable beds, and super clean. Kitchen had everything you need to make full meals. A 10 star stay. Will be back next year.
Beautiful location on the river about 10 minutes north of Thermopolis. House is awesome for a visit to nearby family. Space for the kids to run and play. So much better than a hotel!
Everything was great; owner communication, access, cleanliness. The only surprise was that we expected easier access to the river according to the description. We brought kayaks but could not launch easily from the property.

This is a magical property. The house itself is adorable and very homey with all the necessities to do anything you need. What we love the most was the landscape around it and we went for a walk and we enjoyed eating dinner by the fire and sitting by the river. We will come back for sure and Sherman was the greatest host.
Wish we would have stayed longer. House was fine on all levels. Could not enjoy the outdoors in the evening due to mosquitos the worse I have ever seen, not the houses fault for that. I do wish the house had wifi. After a long day of fishing is nice to sit back and enjoy a football game or such after dark to wind down.
The house is perfect, it has all the amenities one would require. Everything in the house worked , it is very spacious, clean , comfortable, and best of all besides the location it is quiet. Great location to see millions of stars. Out of all the VRBO’S We have stayed this is the best.

About the host
Hosted by Sherman Skelton
Growing up my family ranched in the area, and we farmed on the hay fields around the vacation property. I am very familiar with the area and am more than happy to give any input on additional things to do or see during your stay in Thermopolis.
Why they chose this property
My great grandparents farm house was right across the road from the vacation property. I am the fourth generation to own this property, and had always dreamt of building something near the river. It was a dream come true when I broke ground on "the cabin" in the spring of 2013. The project was made even more rewarding by the fact that I was able to build the house with the help of my father, and under the watchful eyes of my 2 year old son. I truly wanted this to be a multi generational project. I worked 4 days a week in Casper, and then drove to Thermopolis and worked on the house every Fri-Sun for the next two years. There are still some projects to to on the property, but we have really enjoyed sharing our place with people from around the country.
