“The Patriot” is located on the west side of Dubois Wyoming. It is nestled at the base of the Wind River Mountains and bordered by the Wind River on the south and the Ramshorn Peak, part of the Absaroka Range, on the north. “The Patriot” is part of the Wind River Landing complex which sprawls across more than 6 acres and is one of three separate living spaces on the property. Wind River Landing is located at the corner of Hwy 26 / 287 and Warm Springs Road, (across the highway and slightly west of the Sinclair station.)
“The Patriot” condo is dedicated to all those who have served in the many branches of service to secure our freedom here in America. “The Patriot” was completely renovated in 2023. It has been updated with a brand-new kitchen, new bathrooms (with all bedrooms), and new furnace.
The north bedroom is fitted with two twin beds and a smart TV and closet. An adjoining bathroom has a tub and shower. All bedding and towels as well as soap and shampoo are supplied for your use. The bedroom lamps double as a USB port for charging your phone or other electronics.
The south bedroom of "the Patriot" has a view of the Wind River Landing pond where swans, numerous types of ducks, geese, and other water critters frequent. This bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, a smart TV, a writing desk and is attached to a private ¾ bath with shower and closet.
**The Patriot unit sleeps a total of 4 guests**
There is a stacked washer and dryer combo in the hallway. These are directly across from the dedicated wall to many service men and women. This wall was started with photos of family and friends who have served in the armed forces. (If you would like to participate simply submit an 8x10 or 5x7 of your loved one in their service uniform and bring it or mail it to MSN & Associates, LLC, PO Box 1713, Dubois, WY 82513. Please include the full name, branch of service, when they served (or the name of the war or conflict), and their hometown. And they will be added to the wall!)
The kitchen and living room combined space has excellent views of the pond and the Wind River to the south. “The Patriot” has a beautifully renovated and well supplied kitchen with all new appliances in case you want to stay in and cook or even bake some goodies. Or you may prefer to bring home food from one of the many delicious restaurants in town and try out the in-drawer microwave! Coffee, tea and hot cocoa, oatmeal, and snacks are provided. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, pots and pans, and some baking supplies.
The beautiful white natural stone fireplace has been up fitted with a propane insert to keep you cozy with your favorite beverage as you enjoy the beautiful views from the great room. The fireplace is perfect for those chilly days or nights. This space is available for your group to gather and watch a movie on the big screen TV, snuggle up with a good book, or choose one of the board games waiting for you in the cabinet beneath the kitchen island.
A new addition to this property in 2024 is a hot tub located on the back deck. It is a community hot tub shared by the three properties at Wind River Landing.
Sorry no pets are allowed. No smoking in this property as well.

ABOUT the Town of DUBOIS:
In this town of under 1000 in the winter (and over 3500 in the summer) you will find a Family Dollar store and the Dubois Super Foods for food or snacks. The grocery store as well as both bars in town, the Rustic and the Outlaw, offer package liquor. If you prefer to eat out, we have restaurants on the quaint cowboy inspired main street less than a mile to the east, or at the Sinclair station across the highway who now are serving Oriental food as well as breakfast burritos and pizzas. See the three-ring binder upon your arrival for more information about places to eat and things to do. We recommend you call first as schedules change each season.
Right outside the back sliding glass doors you will find the Wind River Landing Pond. Fishing is available at the pond as well as on the Wind River which skirts the south side of the property. Grab a Wyoming fishing license at the Super foods or other fine retailer and try your luck! The Wind River never freezes over. The pond at Wind River Landing is fed by the warm springs in the area from the north so it does
not completely freeze over and is not safe for ice skating or ice fishing during the winter. There is an outdoor ice-skating rink in the city park ballfields just south of the Family Dollar store. Skates are available to borrow at the Headwaters building just west of the rink
If you are a hiking, ATV, horseback riding, hunter, snowmobile or cross-country skiing enthusiast, this area has it all very close by. The trail system for horseback riding, ATV or UTV's is just a quick trip up the mountain to the Shoshone National Forest. Depending on the snow in the area Snowmobilers have a short ride or drive to unload at the trail system. Wind River Landing is less than 30 minutes to Togwatee Pass on the Continental Divide that boasts the most snow in the area but there are also many snowmobile trails closer that all connect to the best snowmobile riding on earth! Grab a trail map at the Polaris or Honda dealer (other side of the highway) or Super Foods where snowmobile stickers are sold in town.
During the summer months local outfitters offer horseback riding and pack trips into the beautiful mountains surrounding Dubois. Summer also brings the opportunity for Wind River Float Trips that enter the Wind River Indian Reservation waters. Or practice your swing at Antelope Hills golf course, just a stone's throw away for golfing enthusiasts which is just north of this property!
Want to plan a day trip? This property is only about an hour from Grand Teton National Park and only a bit farther to Yellowstone, the Jackson airport or town of Jackson Hole. No matter how you want to spend your vacation there is so much to see and do in this area!
The owners came to this part of the country from Omaha Nebraska in January 1991 on a snowmobile trip and fell in love with the town and the surrounding mountains. Almost seven years ago, they moved here permanently to retire and enjoy it all. They hope you enjoy your stay. Thanks for considering staying at “The Patriot” at Wind River Landing.
