Historic Wyoming Cabin with Big Character
Step into a piece of Riverside history at Jackalope Retreat — a cozy 1930s log cabin originally built during the era when the Forest Service supported the region’s booming timber and mining industries. Though compact in size, this little cabin is full of warmth, personality, and authentic Wyoming charm.
At approximately 340 square feet, Jackalope Retreat is intentionally simple, cozy, and best suited for travelers who appreciate character over excess space. It’s a wonderful fit for a fishing trip with a buddy, a parent-child getaway, solo travelers seeking solitude, or two guests looking for an affordable and memorable Wyoming escape.
Inside, the cabin is decorated with playful jackalope-themed touches that celebrate the spirit, humor, and folklore of the American West. The atmosphere feels nostalgic, relaxed, and unmistakably Wyoming.
Inside the Cabin
The cabin features:
✔ Two comfortable twin beds with cozy linens
✔ A compact but functional kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, and cooking basics

✔ Dining space perfect for morning coffee or planning the day’s adventures
The space is thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its historic footprint while still providing the comforts needed for a relaxing stay.
Outdoor Setting
One of the most peaceful parts of Jackalope Retreat is the outdoor setting. During the spring and summer months, guests love sitting beside the seasonal water channel just outside the cabin with a cup of coffee or evening drink while listening to the gentle sound of flowing water beneath the cottonwood trees.
The private outdoor seating area and grill create a perfect spot to unwind after a day of hiking, fishing, soaking in the hot springs, or exploring the surrounding mountains.
At night, the dark Wyoming skies often put on an incredible show of stars.
