The Best Riverfront Stays in Wyoming for a Scenic Escape

Wyoming is known for its incredible vistas, from majestic mountain ranges and rugged canyons to bright blue lakes. But the state's rivers deserve just as much attention. These natural features offer places to sit and relax, admire the scenery, try your luck at fishing, and escape the hustle of daily life. In fact, the best riverfront Airbnbs in Wyoming are some of the most unforgettable places to spend the night—they are places you’ll have a hard time leaving. I have found five waterfront rentals in Wyoming so stunning that they feel like they’ve been plucked right out of a dream. With loads of amenities, postcard-worthy locations, and river views, these rentals are exceptional in every way.

1. Peaceful Outdoor Paradise – Ten Sleep

Outdoor lovers and nature enthusiasts will find there is so much to love about this cozy cabin in Ten Sleep. This beautiful Wyoming Airbnb offers exceptional views right from the yard or on the deck that overlooks the water. Six guests can comfortably sleep in the cabin rental, which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. And while there is so much to enjoy on the property, this is the perfect base camp for nearby adventures. In the summer months, you are near numerous hiking trails and lakes, and in the winter, Meadowlark Lake Ski Resort is just a few miles away. If you are up for a little longer drive, Hot Springs State Park makes for a fantastic day trip.

2. Little Wind River Cabin - Riverton

You can experience true relaxation at this charming riverfront cabin that’s near downtown Riverton and the Wind River Hotel & Casino. This riverfront Airbnb in Wyoming offers plenty of space for up to four guests and amenities like a recently remodeled kitchen, air conditioning, and fast Wi-Fi. The highlight of this cabin rental is definitely the outdoor space with a large deck and a fire pit that both offer incredible views of the Little Wind River. You may even spot wildlife of all sizes, from moose to foxes, as you relax outdoors.

3. Cozy Riverfront Lodge - Dubois

This charming Airbnb in Dubois is a destination that will make you fall in love with Wyoming and its landscapes all over again. Walk inside the cabin, and you’ll be met with an open floor plan, cozy furnishings, a full kitchen, and décor that makes you feel right at home. Up to 10 guests can spread out in this rental, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and dogs are welcome for an additional charge. You can easily find some tranquility outdoors as the flowing river provides a calming soundtrack, wildlife may come up and say hello, and the skies above you are filled with thousands of bright, twinkling stars at night—the outdoors here is breathtaking no matter the time of day.

4. Riverbend Cabin - Pinedale

The Riverbend Cabin is the perfect base camp for all of your adventures in Pinedale, Wyoming. Designed for a solo adventure or a couple’s getaway, this cabin has a studio floor plan, but the tall ceilings, large windows, and skylight make it feel much larger. Just outside, you can relax in the backyard with a large porch and a fire pit. The scenery is certainly stunning, but keep in mind that there is no fishing directly from this Wyoming vacation rental.

5. Bunkhouse on Willow Creek - Turnerville

While technically not next to a river, I couldn’t leave off this gorgeous four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom Airbnb in Turnerville that sits next to a charming creek. Known as the Bunkhouse of Willow Creek, this cabin is a little piece of luxury. You’ll enjoy an open floor plan, walls with floor-to-ceiling windows, and cozy furnishings in every room. Guests can spend the day next to the creek, hiking the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest, and soaking in the hot tub. Just make sure that you don't fall asleep too early, as views of the Milky Way and the stars are pure magic.

The best waterfront Airbnbs in Wyoming may not be as plentiful as they are in other states, but it doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You deserve some time to experience the natural beauty of the Cowboy State, and the above rentals are the perfect place to start.
