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.

Everything was so nice and accommodating! Watching all the wildlife from a wall of windows, was wonderful. We watched mule deer a herd of 23 we counted. We watched other fishermen catching fish in river. Enjoyed our family time together.
