This Rustic Cabin in Wyoming Delivers Big Views

If your idea of a perfect vacation is stepping straight into a movie set, then you'll love the rustic Airbnb in Dubois, Wyoming that we found for you! Staying in the historic bunkhouse at Jakey's Fork Homestead feels like being dropped into a cinematic world of big skies, stoic cowboys, and beckoning landscapes. So, if you're hankering for the Old West, saddle up for a getaway you won't forget!

First and foremost, Dubois is a dream destination for travelers who thrive outdoors. Whether you visit in the summer or winter, the landscape outside Dubois has more personality than most people you know. You could spend a lifetime exploring and still get the sense that there's something new hidden among the rugged peaks or waiting around the next bend of the river. All that said, lace up your tried and true hiking boots and get wandering!

Just a short drive away, Bridger-Teton National Forest contains stunning spots like the Lower Green River Lakeside trail — an astonishing meeting place of alpine lake and arid pine forest. Still, my favorite treks cut through the Dubois Badlands Wilderness Study Area. There, routes like the Dubois Badlands Trail guide hikers through the chaparral and past ancient spires of sedimentary stone. For a bucket list-worthy experience, time your adventure for sunrise or sunset when the slanting sunlight accentuates the mountain's strips of red rock.

And when you're ready to get some rest, Jakey's Fork Homestead will be your much-needed home base. After hours of trekking outdoors, sink into the bunkhouse's plush queen-sized bed for a good night's sleep — sweetened by the watery lullaby of a lively river just thirty feet away. And if some relaxation is in order, you'll find plenty to keep you content just outside your door. Make headway on a book while lounging in the outdoor hammock, spot stars around a crackling campfire at night, or catch your dinner in the property's creek, where native trout swim just beneath the surface.

Though you can hop up to Dubois for supplies, host Carolyn goes to great lengths to ensure guests are well-cared for and have everything they need. If you're seeking accommodations for pets, forgot your bear spray, need some hiking poles, or even want to arrange a breakfast service, her hospitality is just a phone call away. This attentiveness is one of the reasons I believe Jakey's Fork would make an excellent honeymoon destination for an outdoorsy couple.

Inside, the bunkhouse exudes Old West charm. Though you can access Wifi on the property, you're encouraged to unplug during your stay. With its rough-hewn walls, warm lighting, and homey furnishings, this snug log cabin resurrects a slower pace of life — one where an evening cuddle on the sofa or that first sip of morning coffee feels just as important as any notification on your phone.

Looking for an Airbnb that will whisk you away into Western romance? It doesn't get more cinematic than the bunkhouse at Jakey's Fork Homestead. Though you'll be minutes from small-town Dubois, you'll be spending most of your time exploring Wyoming's epic scenery, making this accommodation perfect for outdoorsy couples with a penchant for Old West adventure. We think you'll love it here. And if you're looking for more things to do or see in the area during your stay, check out our itinerary planner for nearby recommendations!
