Quiet and Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I, along with our black lab, spent 4 nights at the Bear's Den, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The cabin is very clean and beautifully maintained and was very comfortable. We were fortunate that, during the majority of our time there, we were the only guests, and it was so quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. We enjoyed spending time outside along the canal. Riverside/Encampment are in a beautiful area of WY, which we enjoyed exploring. Matt and Allison clearly have pride in ownership of their cabins, and it truly elevated our experience. They communicated clearly with us, and we were grateful that they welcomed dogs. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
