4 Bedroom House in Dayton, Ranchester
Escape to this updated 1-acre Wyoming retreat where the Little Tongue River flows through your backyard — complete with a hardscaped waterfall and two natural swimming holes. Unwind in the hot tub, gather around the riverside fire pit, or explore Tongue River Canyon just 5 miles away. Sleeps 10 across 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths.

The Little Tongue River winds right through the backyard, complete with a handcrafted waterfall and two natural swimming holes, making every morning feel like a wilderness adventure without ever leaving home. A back deck seating up to 12, a grill with kitchen door access, and a hot tub round out the outdoor experience, making this a retreat you simply won`t want to leave.
Inside, the main level features two queen bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bright eat-in kitchen with Café appliances. Upstairs, a private master suite sits above the game room with walk-in closets and an ensuite bath, while a charming loft accessed by a spiral staircase offers two twin beds perfect for the kids.
The converted garage game room comes stocked with an arcade, board games, books, and a full bar — plus a laundry room with full-size appliances — so rainy days are just as fun as sunny ones.
Just a 5-minute stroll to the historic Dayton Mercantile and with easy access to the Bighorn Scenic Byway, there`s no shortage of things to do — some of it right outside your front door.
