Bozeman Trail Cabin in Bighorn, WY

This historic cabin located in Bighorn, WY has a long and storied history in Sheridan County, Wyoming. Well-known in our community, it has only passed through the hands of a few families, and is still held dear to those who recall, happy childhoods visiting and staying here. The large fenced backyard has shared many a peony root stock across the region, and still shelters repeat guests beneath its shading branches.


DIRECTIONS: Please contact host at if you would like additional assistance with driving directions. Once you have entered Big Horn follow the curve of the road westward and turn left on Johnson St., the main drag. Drive past the Big Horn Mercantile, the post office and Just Le Doux It Steakhouse and Saloon, and follow the curve of the road to the first intersecting road on the left, Second St., and turn left at the log cabin with white trim. Park near the lilac bush near the front door and use the last four digits of your booking phone number to unlock the smart lock on the front or side doors.


The corner living room stove can be adjusted with the thermostat to the left of the door into the study next to the bookcase. The thermostat on the right side next to the stairs controls the air conditioning. The thermostat on next to the door into the kitchen from the dining room controls the floor furnace in the living room. Do not turn above 68 or the floor grate will become scalding hot and you will be too hot. The heat easily migrates upstairs, but an additional portable heater is located upstairs if needed during a wintertime soak in the bathtub.

But it wouldn't be a stretch to mosey on up Red Grade Road to the trail heads sponsored by Sheridan Community Land Trust and head out for a hike splashed with wildflowers and bird song.
