The Bear’s Den at Cottonwood Cabins | Mountain Charm & Comfort

Cozy Cabin Getaway | Bear’s Den at Cottonwood Cabins

Welcome to the Bear’s Den — your perfect hideaway in the quiet Western town of Riverside, Wyoming. Nestled beside a peaceful water channel and just a short walk to the Encampment and North Platte Rivers, this cozy cabin offers a down-to-earth escape where the pace slows, the air is crisp, and the stars still put on a show.

Unwind, Wyoming Style
With two comfortable double beds, soft linens, and homey touches throughout, the Bear’s Den sleeps up to four guests and invites you to kick off your boots and relax. Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or winding down under the stars, you'll feel right at home.

Simple Meals, Made Easy
The cabin’s kitchen has everything you need to cook up a hearty breakfast or a laid-back dinner — stove, fridge, microwave, and all the basics. Enjoy your meals at the indoor dining table, or step outside and fire up the grill on your private deck.

Clean & Comfortable Bathroom
Fresh towels, a warm shower, and basic toiletries are provided so you can clean up after a day of adventure and settle in for a good night’s sleep.

Room to Breathe Outdoors
Relax on the deck with seating for four and take in the quiet charm of the yard and water channel that winds through the property. In summer, the Adirondack chairs are perfect for kicking back with a drink and soaking in the fresh mountain air.

Massage Services Available (Seasonal)
Looking to fully unwind? Guests can enjoy on-site massage services during the warmer months through Cottonwood Massage & Wellness, located right here on the property. Advance booking is recommended.

Quiet and Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I, along with our black lab, spent 4 nights at the Bear's Den, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The cabin is very clean and beautifully maintained and was very comfortable. We were fortunate that, during the majority of our time there, we were the only guests, and it was so quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. We enjoyed spending time outside along the canal. Riverside/Encampment are in a beautiful area of WY, which we enjoyed exploring. Matt and Allison clearly have pride in ownership of their cabins, and it truly elevated our experience. They communicated clearly with us, and we were grateful that they welcomed dogs. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
