The Cottage at Tongue River Canyon

Escape to this updated 1-acre Wyoming retreat where the Little Tongue River flows through your backyard — complete with a hardscaped waterfall and two natural swimming holes. Unwind in the hot tub, gather around the riverside fire pit, or explore Tongue River Canyon just 5 miles away. Sleeps 10 across 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths. Inside, find a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, gas fireplace, and converted game room with arcade & bar. Bighorn Mountain trails at your doorstep. Pets welcome!

The property spans a full acre with two fire pits — one on the deck and one at the river`s edge — making evenings truly magical. The Little Tongue River winds right through the backyard, complete with a handcrafted waterfall and two natural swimming holes, making every morning feel like a wilderness adventure without ever leaving home. A back deck seating up to 12, a grill with kitchen door access, and a hot tub round out the outdoor experience, making this a retreat you simply won`t want to leave.

Inside, the main level features two queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bright eat-in kitchen with Café appliances. Upstairs, a private master suite sits above the game room with walk-in closets and an ensuite bath, while a charming loft accessed by a spiral staircase offers two twin beds perfect for the kids.

The converted garage game room comes stocked with an arcade, board games, books, and a full bar — plus a laundry room with full-size appliances — so rainy days are just as fun as sunny ones.
Just a 5-minute stroll to the historic Dayton Mercantile and with easy access to the Bighorn Scenic Byway, there`s no shortage of things to do — some of it right outside your front door.

A few things to know before you arrive:

This is a peaceful, rural retreat nestled in the Bighorn foothills, so expect stunning natural surroundings, the soothing sounds of the river at night, and the occasional glimpse of local wildlife — it`s all part of the charm.

Cell service can be limited in the area, but WiFi is available throughout the home.

The river, swimming holes, and fire pit areas are natural features, and we ask that children be supervised near the water at all times. Please note that we are not responsible for any injuries sustained on or around these natural features.

If you`re traveling with pets, please keep them away from the river edges and clean up after them on the property.

Wyoming winters can bring snow and icy roads, so if you`re visiting in the colder months, please come prepared.

The hot tub and game room are there for your enjoyment — just treat them with care so the next guests can enjoy them too.
