About this property

Spacious Western Lodge | Sleeps 10 | Rustic Luxury in Riverside, Wyoming

Welcome to the Moose Lodge at Cottonwood Cabins
Where Western charm meets rustic elegance, and memories are made that last a lifetime.

Nestled in the heart of Riverside, Wyoming, the Moose Lodge is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to gather, connect, and experience the magic of the Mountain West. Surrounded by towering cottonwoods and the peaceful rhythms of small-town life, this one-of-a-kind log home sleeps up to 10 guests and offers the perfect blend of rugged Wyoming character and warm, modern comfort.

A True Western Retreat
From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the spirit of the West in every handcrafted detail. The lodge features rich wood interiors, custom furnishings, and decor inspired by the land and wildlife of Wyoming—think antler chandeliers, vintage saddles, weathered leather, and of course, the namesake moose watching from the wall. The result is a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and settle in.

Room to Roam, Space to Connect
The Moose Lodge was designed for gathering. With three distinct sleeping areas (including a cozy, cabin-style loft), four full bathrooms, and two inviting living spaces, there’s plenty of room for everyone to unwind. Whether you're a family creating lifelong memories, friends reuniting for a mountain adventure, or couples seeking a serene retreat, you'll find space to connect—and space to recharge.

The main living room features plush seating, a large screen TV with DishTV, and a stone fireplace that provides cozy ambiance on cool evenings. A second sitting area upstairs gives kids (or grown-ups!) a place to spread out with games, books, or a good movie.

A Kitchen Made for Feasting
No Western getaway is complete without gathering around a table for good food and great conversation. The open-concept kitchen at Moose Lodge is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, whether you're whipping up cowboy coffee and flapjacks in the morning or preparing a feast after a day on the trails. The adjoining dining room seats 10 comfortably and invites lingering over dessert and stories long after the plates are cleared.

Wrap-Around Porch Life
Step outside and you’ll find one of the most iconic features of Moose Lodge: its full wrap-around porch. With plenty of seating and peaceful views of the surrounding grounds and Cottonwood trees, this is the place to start your day with a hot cup of coffee or unwind under the stars with a nightcap and the sound of the breeze rustling the leaves.

The Perfect Home Base in Every Season
While the lodge feels tucked away, you're just steps from everything Riverside has to offer. Grab a bite at the Mangy Moose or Bear Trap Cafe, pick up supplies at the local store, or stroll across the street to Rick Martin Memorial Park to play horseshoes, shoot hoops, or explore the disc golf course.

In the warmer months, explore the nearby Sierra Madre and Snowy Mountain Ranges, fish the Encampment River, or soak in the free 24/7 natural hot springs in Saratoga, just 20 minutes away. In the winter, Moose Lodge is a snowmobiler's dream with endless trails in every direction and space to dry your gear inside.

All the Comforts of Home
✔️ Three sleeping areas with king, queen, and twin beds (sleeps up to 10)
✔️ Four full bathrooms
✔️ Full kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and cookware
✔️ Large dining table for 10+
✔️ Two living/family rooms
✔️ High-speed Wi-Fi
✔️Ceiling fans in every room and blackout curtains to keep cool during warmer days
✔️ Washer and dryer in unit
✔️ Ample on-site parking

Pet Friendly
We welcome well-behaved dogs for a small fee—and yes, there are treats waiting for your furry friends! Please let us know in advance if your pet will be joining you. Pets must not be left unattended and should stay off the furniture.

The Moose Lodge Experience
This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s a chance to experience the authenticity of Wyoming living. A place where grandparents teach grandkids to play horseshoes in the park, where couples share morning coffee on the porch, and where friends reconnect over stories and local brews around the dining table. Whether you're planning a summer escape or a winter adventure, Moose Lodge is the perfect backdrop for memory-making.

Kick off your boots, hang your hat, and make yourself at home. We can't wait to welcome you to the Moose Lodge at Cottonwood Cabins.

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.
