About this property

Rustic Luxury Lodge - Sleeps 10

Welcome to Moose Lodge at Cottonwood Cabins — a truly special luxury log home in the beautiful small Wyoming town of Riverside, adjacent to Encampment and just 20 minutes from the famous natural hot springs of Saratoga.

This is not your typical cabin rental.

Moose Lodge is a grand handcrafted Western lodge designed for gathering, reconnecting, and experiencing the beauty of Wyoming together. Sleeping up to 10 guests comfortably, the home combines upscale rustic charm with spacious living, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the kind of warm atmosphere that instantly makes people feel at home.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice what makes Moose Lodge different. Towering log construction, extraordinary woodwork, vaulted ceilings, handcrafted details, and carefully curated Western décor create a space that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to the spirit of Wyoming. Every room reflects the character and craftsmanship of a true mountain lodge.

One of the most unique features of the home is the enormous dining room built directly above a seasonal flowing water canal. During the warmer months, guests can open the windows and enjoy the peaceful sound of running water beneath the home while gathering around the oversized dining table. It’s an unforgettable feature that makes meals and conversations feel even more special.

Designed for Family Gatherings & Group Retreats

Moose Lodge was built for spending quality time together without ever feeling crowded.

The home features:
✔ Two spacious living rooms
✔ A large family room connected to the kitchen
✔ Multiple gathering areas throughout the lodge
✔ Four bathrooms
✔ Sleeping accommodations for up to 10 guests
✔ An expansive private 360° wraparound porch

The family room adjoining the kitchen quickly becomes the heart of the home — the perfect place for morning coffee, late-night conversations, family dinners, board games, and relaxing after a day exploring the mountains or river.

Whether your group is gathered together or spread out across the home’s generous living spaces, Moose Lodge offers comfort, privacy, and room to truly unwind.

Wraparound Porch Living

The massive wraparound deck is one of the lodge’s most loved features and offers beautiful views in every direction.

Relax in a rocking chair with your morning coffee while watching the peaceful small-town surroundings come to life. Deer occasionally wander through the property, cottonwood trees sway in the Wyoming breeze, and directly across the street sits Rick Martin Memorial Park — a beautiful community gathering space with green lawns, playgrounds, horseshoes, basketball courts, and disc golf.

There’s simply no better place to slow down and enjoy the pace of small-town Wyoming life.

Walkable Small-Town Charm

Despite its peaceful setting, Moose Lodge is conveniently located within walking distance to:
✔ Two local restaurants
✔ A convenience store
✔ Rick Martin Memorial Park
✔ The Encampment River (approximately a 10-minute walk)

Guests love being able to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of Riverside while still being close to everything they need.

Adventure in Every Season

In the warmer months, spend your days fly fishing the Encampment River, hiking the Sierra Madre Mountains, exploring scenic mountain drives, wildlife watching, or soaking in Saratoga’s world-famous hot springs.

During winter, Moose Lodge becomes the perfect home base for snowmobiling adventures, cozy evenings indoors, and gathering with friends and family after a day in the snow.

At the end of every adventure, you’ll return to a home that feels warm, welcoming, and unmistakably Wyoming.

All the Comforts of Home

✔ Fully equipped kitchen
✔ Large dining space for gathering
✔ High-speed Wi-Fi
✔ Smart TVs & DishTV
✔ Washer & dryer
✔ Comfortable sleeping arrangements for 10
✔ Spacious parking including room for trailers
✔ Pet-friendly accommodations for approved dogs

More Than a Vacation Rental

Moose Lodge is the kind of place where memories are made — where families reconnect over shared meals, kids play in the park across the street, mornings begin slowly on the porch, and evenings end beneath Wyoming’s star-filled skies.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, fishing trip, snowmobile getaway, holiday gathering, or peaceful mountain escape, Moose Lodge offers a one-of-a-kind Wyoming experience that guests remember long after they leave.

Kick off your boots, settle into the rocking chairs, and make yourself at home at Moose Lodge.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

We have stayed at this property at least three times now and we can never wait to come back. The house is always so welcoming and it is an absolutely gorgeous place to stay. It’s an amazing house and is always clean and refreshing. Has everything anyone would need. Once you are there you wish you didn’t have to leave. We love the house and area and we for sure will return. The owners also send text regularly while you are there to make sure things are going well and to see if you need anything. It’s the perfect place to be!!

More Fun Than One Should Have!

The location is perfect, close to the little town village(which is great and has everything one should want or need). This is our second time staying in this house and it was just as beautiful this time as the last. So impressed with the house itself and how clean and well kept it is. The house also has everything available that one should need. We definitely will be back again!!

Beautiful spacious Lodge

Loved the wrap around covered porch and stream that runs under the Moose Lodge. Perfect for a family get away and for larger family reunions there are lovely well equipped log cabins (Cottonwood Cabins) a stones throw from the main, Moose Lodge. Fishing in the river or beautiful mountain lakes, trails, hot springs and right across from the lodge is a park with basketball, frisbee golf and playground equipment. Loved it!!!

Even better than we imagined!

This was the perfect spot for a family getaway! The cabin was very clean and came well-stocked with everything we needed and more. The location next to the park was great for the kids and we enjoyed relaxing near the stream on the back porch. We had easy communication with the hosts and we highly recommend this cabin! We felt we got so much value for the price!

Perfect home... amazing location!

This property is truly incredible for this area. We have always stayed in Saratoga at the resort to fish the local area. This year we decided to rent the Moose Lodge and we were not disappointed. It is a very large home with room for all. Extremely well maintained and very clean. Perfect for a wilderness getaway with easy access to the mountains, or stay around town and enjoy the best restaurants only a couple minutes walk away. We will definitely be returning!

I have stayed in places that looked NOTHING like the pictures. This place is not that. It is everything it says it will be plus. The kitchen is fully stocked and it even has a crockpot. LOL The only suggestion I have, is if you are coming to stay and like a lot of ice, bring it. The closest place to buy ice was Saratoga. Everyone in Riverside and Encampment was out. Thank you Matt and Allison for a wonderful stay.

Snowmobile Trip 2023

The house was really nice with plenty of room. We had a group of 7 guys going snowmobiling. The kitchen was really nice layout and awesome to use for the meals we ended up making. The only issue we had with the kitchen is the oven was a little bit of a pain to figure out. Would definitely look at renting this place again for future snowmobile trips.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

We had just a wonderful time this Thanksgiving holiday celebrating with our family at this cabin in WY. It was quiet and remote, peaceful and charming, and our stay was lovely. The cabin is so well equipped - we lacked for nothing! It is beautifully updated and thoughtfully decorated, and the owners were friendly and easily accessible. We spent our time playing at the park, relaxing in the hot springs, watching holiday movies and playing games. There was so much space for us all - the kids didn't want to leave! We have been recommending this cabin to eveyone we've see since we've (sadly...) gotten been to Denver.

Our Dream House!

The Moose Lodge at Cottonwood Cabins was without a doubt the best vacation home we have ever stayed in, and it's not close. Our expectations were high coming in based on the photos we had seen, but the place FAR exceeded even our high expectations. It's a DREAM house. Allison and Matt's hospitality and attention to detail is unrivaled. The place is furnished in a way that makes guests feel special. So clean and comfortable. There are dozens of chairs/corners/comfy spots to try out - inside and out. The wrap-around porch is enormous and the deck is glorious. It's so refreshing being there that one loses motivation to venture out and explore the area - but we did that too! Medicine Bow is awesome. We found a quite like and did some hiking and paddle boarding. Found the local hot springs in Saratoga. Saw a bull moose up close. Could explore the area for weeks and not get bored. The local Bear Trap cafe and saloon is awesome. And we love disc golfing and had a course right across the street at the park! I only wish we lived closer so we could return more regularly - we would. Even from Maryland, we will find a way to get back. We are so thankful for Allison and Matt and Moose Lodge!

Heaven on earth...

If you are on the fence about renting this house, just do it! We came from Nebraska, Minnesota and Colorado and the Lodge did not disappoint. We fished, hiked and spent time on the Snowy Range. We also visited Saratoga. The kids enjoyed playing in the river and even played in the river running under the house. The hosts were very responsive. We will be back.
