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!

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!

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.

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.

River paradise
Fantastic property, extremely quiet and relaxing. Great location along the river. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed playing in the big yard and river. House was very well appointed and very clean. So many things to do in the area and wildlife viewing, hiking, and fishing were our priority. Hot tub was bonus and nice way to wind down after a day full of activities!

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!

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.
