Holiday Homes in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area

"Lovell is not on the beaten track, despite being the closest town to Bighorn Canyon and the home of a Mustang rescue center. It’s a quiet, gracious place where folk say hello and mean it when they wish you a Good Day. The Cattlemen Motel looks to have been built in the ‘60s, with small but comfortable rooms lining an area with parking and a seating area. You are welcome to use the BBQ - in fact the manager leant us silverware and glasses when she saw we were cooking - and there’s a cute little gazebo picnic area festooned with potted flowers the management team clearly love. They welcomed our dog - sneaking one in would not result in the same happy hello - and there’s a small grass run for close to home potty breaks, tho it’s a nice berg to walk around, with safe, quiet streets parks at both ends. Do not expect 1000 thread count sheets, but enjoy the welcome, and a taste of true Wyoming hospitality. "

"This spot is in a great location between town and 3-Mile. The house has an excellent view of the river from the big back porch, which was a great way to bookend our days and exchange fish stories. The owner was a very good communicator and always responded quickly to any questions, and gave helpful recommendations when we had hiccups to our trip. The Wi-Fi was good so it was easy to send off any emails and correspond to work or home. We cooked two big meals a day, and although the kitchen could use a couple more items, it met our needs. I recommend this house to anyone heading to Fort Smith for a vacation. Great location, nice and comfortable home, great view, and a responsive and helpful owner."

"Super cute retro vibe! Very clean, updated rooms. Great, friendly staff. Adorable gift shop in the lobby. A great place to stay!"

"We arrived at almost midnight and booked online. There was nobody at the front desk since they go home for the night. I called the number and I believe his name was Steve? He got out of bed and came right down! Check in was fast and he was so friendly. The room was nice and clean and looked to be newly remodeled. Big cute barn door to the bedroom and an adorable refrigerator. Furnishings were still outdated but we were literally there to sleep and head out. The town of Lovell reminds me of my hometown so I felt right at home. Pretty good stay I would say. "

"We had a blast! Fortsmith never disappointed, the house was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The communication concerning check in and details about the fishing reports were spot on. Looking forward to our next visit Thanks."

"The property was amazing!! Just what we needed. The place was easy to find and very beautiful views of the sunsets. Everything is exactly how it looks. It is a wonderful place to stay. We had a problem with the door and they were so nice and took care of it right away. "

"The place was very clean and well stocked with about everything you need. The only downside was the floors being squeaky upstairs woke the person up downstairs. Other than that, it was a very nice place. I will be staying here again."

"The Bunkhouse was absolutely perfect! Clean, quiet, and loaded with rustic charm. The property owners were so welcoming, and hospitable. We loved our daily visits with the horses - and the scenery was gorgeous! Hiked in Bighorn Canyon - literally minutes away! Loved every minute of our stay! Thank you Nancy and Steve for sharing your little slice of Heaven!"

"Excellent place to stay and fish the Bighorn river. This is our second time at the house and love it. Have been fishing the Bighorn for 40 years and this is the best place there, by far!!!"
