The Bear Den

A great getaway on the Big Laramie River is waiting for you. If you are interested in fishing for trout the Big Laramie River is for you. When you stay at the Bear Den you have over 3 miles of access to river fishing. The Bear Den is secluded, newly remodeled, and nestled along the Big Laramie River. It affords numerous miles of hiking, ATV and snowmobile trails in Jelm BLM and in the Medicine Bow National Forest. The iconic Snowy Range Mountains are a short and scenic drive away.
We now offer electricity, water and internet for RV's. You can camp along the Big Laramie River.

We had a great time at this beautiful home. The location was so quiet and peaceful. We loved watching wildlife from the lounge chairs and sitting in the hot tub under the stars. Everything was incredibly clean, organized and welcoming. We can't wait to visit again.

Winter wonderland!

Beautiful home! Our family of 5 really enjoyed staying at The Bear Den. Phil helped plow some snow so we could travel safely to and from the property. He went above and beyond for us. We had all we needed! Will definitely visit again!

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.

The River runs Through It

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.

Perfect In Every Way

The title says it all. We do a fair amount of VRBO rentals and this house was by far the best when it comes to details and amenities. The owner has thought of everything. The property is beautiful. The stars and the sound of the river were two of our favorites while sitting outside. We highly recommend this house. We will be back.

Summer Vacay 2023

This place was perfect for our family. There was something for everybody! A short distance from Laramie and Cheyenne. Phil also was a great host offering suggestion on things to do in addition to what we had planned. He also showed my boys the best fishing spots on the river. We will be back!

St Patricks at the Bear Den

The Bear Den is a place we want to continue to return to when possible. The location has got to be one of the best in the area. On the Laramie river with mountain views and different recreation available. The Bear Den is well equipped with much more than the usual amenities available. The host is 5 star as is the property. A couple of miles from the Woods Landing Resort/honky tonk. The weekend entertainment with dancing makes this a fun place to visit.

What a wonderful location!

My sons and I went for a fishing weekend. You can’t beat the location right on the Big Laramie river! Beautiful property with all the amenities you could want. They even supplied makings for S’mores! It’s a short drive into the Medicine Bow mountains or down into Colorado. Very relaxing and lots of things to do on the property and near by. We enjoyed it so much we’ve already booked another stay for the whole family! Super helpful Hosts.

Perfect Den for Mama & Papa bears

Absolutely lovely! Updated and well planned use of space. This cabin delivers comfortable, clean, expanded amenities with gorgeous surroundings. The teenagers could disperse and then come back together with a choice of areas to unify as a family. 2 patios, a hot tub, a nice mud room for ski stuff, nice den, gorgeous great room with dining and plenty of open space, sunshine, and outstanding views of river wildlife. Well heated, attention to detail, well stocked with everything you may have forgotten. Quiet, beautiful, peaceful. Just what we needed. Great hosts, sorry we never met, but sure appreciate your hospitality!

Even Better Than The Pictures!

As a family of four, we prefer to stay at VRBO properties when traveling and this is our favorite so far. The house is clean and modern with a unique charm. All of the nicely labeled amenities and extra touches are above and beyond. The beautiful location feels secluded while being close enough to Laramie for food and shopping needs. It is also just a quick 40 minutes to Snowy Range Ski Area. We really appreciate you sharing your property with us. Thank you for making our trip even better than expected!
