Just steps away from the Big Horn River

Enjoy your stay in Thermopolis at this newer construction, 3 bedroom 2 bath home. The Big Horn river is one of the best fisheries in the state, and you have access to it right outside your doors. On any given morning it is the norm to see pheasants or deer walking by, along with many different species of waterfowl enjoying the waters of the river. Easy access to the town of Thermopolis, which offers a world class dinosaur museum, and two commercial swimming pools where you can enjoy the water from the natural mineral hot springs. Boysen reservoir is 30min away, while the scenic town of Cody, and Yellowstone Park are within a 2 hour drive. The Riverview Guesthouse is great if you are in town to fish, hunt, explore the local area, or for a base while making day trips. We do not have a TV with DVD player and HD antenna for local channels. Our intent with this guesthouse is to help people engage more with each other and their surroundings, while getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The location is ideal to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, and board games are provided if weather keeps you indoors. The trout fishing along this stretch of the river is very good with both public and private access to the river. This location allows nearly 6,000 feet of public fishing access along the river bank downstream from the house, and almost 2,000 feet of private river access upstream. We do have kayaks available on request, along with tour opportunities in Thermopolis and the surrounding area.

Wish we would have stayed longer. House was fine on all levels. Could not enjoy the outdoors in the evening due to mosquitos the worse I have ever seen, not the houses fault for that. I do wish the house had wifi. After a long day of fishing is nice to sit back and enjoy a football game or such after dark to wind down.

Riverview Guest House
Beautiful, cozy, relaxing home in a very quiet area with gorgeous views and a fire pit that you can gather around at night and watch the sunsets….Small town feel and most of the people were very personable and friendly. Enjoyed all the museums and Hot Springs also Yellowstone National Park. Would recommend this to all!😊🙏❤️

Beautiful location on the river about 10 minutes north of Thermopolis. House is awesome for a visit to nearby family. Space for the kids to run and play. So much better than a hotel!

Perfect for restful family fun!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the weekend! The beds are all very comfortable and the house had all the amenities we needed to cook for our family. I particularly enjoyed bird watching on the river while sipping my morning coffee. Sherman was communicative and helpful. Definitely want to come again!

View of the river and wild animals was great. Not a good choice for seniors. Needs railings for going upstairs. Overall furnishings and better cleaning of appliances would definitely be an improvement.

Relax and Reconnect
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. My children took advantage of the large field along the river, playing soccer, horseshoes, corn hole and watching the river otters play. It was relatively quiet on the property. With the exception of a few cars driving by, all we could ever hear was the sound of our children playing and the river running. It was very relaxing. The lack of wifi was just what our family needed to unplug and reconnect. We had a great time playing board games and toasting marshmallows around the fire. I would highly recommend this property to all who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Great Family Escape!
The views never got old. I would catch myself sitting on the back porch getting lost in the beauty, the sounds, and the tranquility surrounding us. I loved the location best, but the house was everything we needed as well. Plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen, plenty of linens. Also, the proximity to town was perfect. A short drive I to town to visit the Hot Springs or the dinosaur museum. Close to many different hikes. We are already planning a trip back to stay at the same place for next summer.
