A look that blends off-the grid camping with a lush landscaped backyard is possible. Choose something unique instead of Adirondack chairs for fireside lounging. Layered pillows and fabrics will bring out the interior and provide warmth for guests during cold evenings. If a firepit isn't possible, you can create campfire vibes by using a grill on a deck.

Even if you are unable to make a fire in the backyard, you still have the option of roasting marshmallows on an electric stove.

Here, books from Wyoming-based authors and goods like ceramics, blankets, and cushions add a local touch. Taxidermy can also be tasteful. When used sparingly in the right setting, a graceful buck bust, an elk with elegant antlers, or a noble bison—all friendly faces you’ll find at the Shaw Ranch—become statement pieces to be admired, not mocked.
