Bighorn River fly fishing - Lake bass fishing - Waterfowling - Sleeps 2 - 8

10/10 Excellent
"We just returned from a fantastic week long fishing and hunting trip and this cabin was perfect for our group of friends and family. The house was clean when we arrived and very well equipped-plenty of kitchen gear, sharp knives, big pans and even a cleaning station outside. Everything we needed was right there.The boat parking is a huge bonus with wide level gravel pad for multiple boats and vehicles.Most of all, the host was outstanding. He took the time to share local fishing and hunting knowledge. He wanted us have a successful trip and we weren’t disappointed!"
