    The story

    Not a cabin with a hot tub — a curated wellness environment

    Nothing else in the Wyo Stays portfolio touches this niche. Zen Den was built around one idea: a stay in Sheridan should be able to actually reset you, not just house you. A private barrel sauna in the backyard. Red light therapy. Grounding sheets. Filtered air and water in every room. It's a genuinely curated wellness stack, not a spa amenity bolted onto a standard rental.

    It's also one of the few properties in the portfolio Dalton Goodyear owns and operates directly, alongside Local Nakamal, Sheridan's only kava bar. That's not incidental — the wellness focus here comes from the same instinct that opened a kava lounge in a Wyoming ranch town: Sheridan has room for hospitality that's a little different from the standard cabin-with-a-view.

    Bring the group. Take turns in the sauna. Message ahead if you want a cold plunge waiting alongside it. Work a real morning from the standing desk, then let the 10k lux wake-up light do its job the next day. Zen Den is built for people who travel to feel better, not just to be somewhere else.

    The neighborhood

    This place worked very well for us during our 4 night stay in June 2026! we came for The Summer Shootout at Sheridan Speedway. It was only a couple of miles from the track, which was super convenient. Very easy to find. Spacious. Would definitely stay here again!

    Robert, group trip
    I loved our stay here. The home was very clean and comfortable with lots of nice amenities, it felt very relaxing and like a spa getaway! I particularly enjoyed the nice sheets, red light, massagers, sauna, and the ambiance of the home with relaxing lights.
