With so many things to see and do in every corner of Wyoming, choosing a place to stay on your vacation can be a challenge – fortunately, there are some incredible accommodations to choose from! For many, staying centrally located is key for easy access to all of the coolest nearby attractions, most delightful small towns, parks, and phenomenal eats. This off-the-beaten-path VRBO vacation rental in Etna, Wyoming checks all of these boxes and then some. Not only is it located right on the water, but it’s also surrounded by mountains, trails, and all of the sweeping Wyoming beauty one could hope for.
Etna is a tiny town that sits right on Wyoming's western edge. While it isn't centrally located in the heart of the state, it IS perfectly situated in the heart of many of the Cowboy State's most treasured landscapes.
This fantastically charming town has little more than a post office and a church to its name, but what it lacks in shopping and luxury housing, it makes up for with postcard-perfect fly fishing, vibrant cattle ranches, and panoramic mountain views.
With such a phenomenal setting, Etna makes the perfect base camp for both outdoor lovers and those looking to escape the crowds.
At only half an hour from Jackson, an hour from Grand Teton National Park, and just a short jaunt more to Yellowstone, the town is ideally situated for being both close to everything and yet away from it all in the best way.

The Spotted Moon Ranch has been welcoming families and guests since 2015, beckoning guests with over 22 acres of vibrant ranchland and some of the most brilliant views in the entire state.
The cabins here feel just like home, but better! Two spacious cabin options are right in the center of the ranch and just a stone's throw from the Salt River that runs through the property.
The first cabin, which boasts two bedrooms and one bathroom, can comfortably sleep up to five guests, surrounded by all of the modern conveniences and creature comforts of home.
Whichever cabin you choose, the décor feels thoughtfully chosen to evoke feelings of warmth and familiarity, and amenities such as a Smart TV, fireplace, riverside firepit, and plenty of necessities give it the extra wow factor to make your vacay truly relaxing.
Outside, 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and multiple national forests make this ranch feel like a truly secluded escape.
Trails wind their way up from the valley and into the mountains if a hike is calling your name. But with so much surrounding beauty, including abundant wildlife and the quiet solitude of country life, pulling up a chair and kicking back on the deck is a mighty fine way to enjoy your getaway as well.
While Wyoming has a plethora of gorgeous cabins and getaways to choose from, this vacation rental in Etna offers something that precious few can: true Cowboy State serenity!
