1930's Historic Cabin - 2 Twin Beds, Kitchen, Bathroom

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
✔ Private bathroom with shower and essential toiletries
✔ Wi-Fi and TV service
✔ 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.

Walkable Riverside Location
Jackalope Retreat is conveniently located in the quiet town of Riverside, Wyoming:
✔ Walking distance to local restaurants
✔ Steps from a small convenience store
✔ Directly across from Rick Martin Memorial Park featuring:
- Disc golf
- Horseshoe pits
- Basketball court
- Playground
- Community fire pit

The cabin also offers easy access to nearby destinations including:
✔ Encampment
✔ Saratoga
✔ Saratoga Hot Springs
✔ Medicine Bow National Forest
✔ Snowmobile and ATV trails
✔ Blue-ribbon fishing waters

A Different Kind of Stay
Jackalope Retreat is not a modern luxury cabin — it’s a small historic Wyoming cabin with an authentic story to tell. Guests who love unique stays, local history, outdoor adventure, and cozy spaces tend to absolutely love it here.

If you’re looking for a peaceful home base with personality, history, and true Wyoming spirit, Jackalope Retreat may become one of your favorite hidden gems.

A wonderful cozy retreat. Quiet and ideally located to walk to the park, river and fun local businesses. Owners and property manager were quick to respond to small issues (missing door code, problem with oven) and resolved promptly. I will go back!

I checked in even though I had trouble finding the correct communication with the access code. There was a cabin nextdoor with many barking dogs. There were at least four dogs in the cabin. Those guests let the dogs run off leash, making the town park across the street off-limits for other users. This, despite the sign that said all dogs need to be on a leashmaking the town park unusable for others. II am from Colorado, butI have learned to be leery of other Coloradans, because they have so little respect for leash laws, common courtesy and keeping their dogs under control. The other guests had Colorado plates from the front range. Ultimately, one of their dogs attacked my dog, Who was on leash. I called the property manager. The other cabin, never put the dogs on leash and walked around my cabin yelling at the dogs. I appreciate being able to bring my dog on vacation, but I don’t appreciate other vacationers who have no common sense when it comes to managing their dogs. The property owner probably needs to be a lot more strict about dogs and policing how many dogs there actually are. This cabin has very small twin beds. I am only 5’ 8” and I was still too tall for the Bed. I ended up leaving one day early. It is a pretty area and I’d like to come back sometime to explore but I won’t be staying here.

Very convenient location, peaceful setting. Loved sitting behind the cabin by the channel. Jackalope is cute and well maintained, but a bit too tiny for us. Next time will choose a larger cabin. Appreciated Matt’s responsiveness to request for a fan. Only specific criticism is beds are high off the floor, challenging for us seniors to climb onto. I’d suggest lowering them to normal height for safety and ease of access. Detailed communication from owners pre check in was especially helpful.
Serene setting right behind Jackelope.
Cute decor made us smile. Coffee even tastes better from jackelope mugs!!!

Property seemed like a cabin from years gone by. I could call it Cozy, but it was a bit too small for my tastes. Fortunately we were there with friends who had a larger cabin, so we did all but sleep there. Would not have worked for us otherwise.

Needed to be relatively close to Encampment, Riverside and Saratoga. This worked perfectly, very close to several restaurants/bars (walking distance). One small issue but immediate response from host.

Nice place.

Cute small cabin just as advertised. Couldn't make sense of the stove, but I'm old enough that it didn't really matter... I was looking for quiet and simplicity, and this was what I was looking for. Thanks for the pleasant visit

A great getaway

The stream out back was just wonderful to sit back and relax to. We had mule deer come through and the park across the street is really nice. 2 great restaurant's within walking distance and the café has the best loaded tater tots!! Close by is the Encampment river trail from Odd Fellows what a GREAT hike. You can do the trail via Purgatory Gulch but its a long road and best suited for a good 4wd vehicle. This is a very small town and would love to come back and do some hunting/fly fishing again. The cabin had everything we needed and a good size refrigerator for the cabin size.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place with limited connections, but enough to serve as a convenient base for wildlife/outdoor photography, hiking, and writing. The Jackalope was a perfect location for us.
