We had 4 couples and 2 children stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Couldn't have asked for a better setup for us. The kitchen was large enough for us to cook all of our meals. Table seating was plentiful and the overall rustic cabin theme was right up our alley. Both the owner and property manager communicated extremely well and often. Will definitely look at the place for our future needs.

Perfect stay for family reunions yet romantic even for our first night
Our first night it was just my hubby and I. They have a room called honeymoon suite and it delivered the setting for a cozy date night! - Then the rest of the family arrived and we all had a blast in this spacious and clean wild west log house property. This place is easy to reach yet quiet. The gardens and mountain views helped us relax and get back to nature. Hot tub under the stars (no light pollution!) was fabulous. The kitchen is well equipped, the bbq outside worked well for our outdoor dinners. The great room was big enough for a grand dinner party. All the bathrooms spotless! Kids had enough space to play outside and have their own space indoors. We loved going to greet the horses at the back of the property when the sun was going down and it painted the mountains golden. We had an amazing experience and are already talking about coming back next year with our bikes. There is plenty of safe space to park our trailers and Harleys. In Cody the Buffalo Bill Museum is worth visiting but you need an entire day to see it all: plains Indian, natural history, fine art, guns, and of course a big wing for the one and only Buffalo Bill.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The lodge was perfect for our 8 adults and 4 kids ages five and under. The kitchen and dining area were great. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was not great in the kitchen, but there were plenty of fans to draw cool air from the dining area. We have wonderful memories from our stay at the lodge!

Sibling Reunion
We meet every two years the six of us and spouses. I’m the oldest and was seventy this year so I got to choose the place. What a great quiet spacious setting and house. We went into Cody and Yellowstone during our stay and fixed fantastic dinners at the house in the evenings. Plenty of air conditioners and fans to keep the house cool during the hot July days. Nice cool mornings to bring in the morning air. Just a wonderful place to stay and the extra bachelor quarters were a nice plus. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed staying here. The grocery store was five minutes away and Cody twenty, so was the airport.

We had a family reunion with 14 adults and kids at the property. The property manager was very helpful making sure we had everything we needed for our group including air mattresses, sheets and plenty of towels for the showers and the hot tub. We had one person with a wheelchair and he was able to move around easily within the house and out on to the deck. There are was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for us to gather as a family but also space to spread out. We would definitely stay again.

Ad misleading thought property was located out in the country according to pictures online not on main Street in town. Also water running 24 hrs in yard, and when we were loading up on departure day sprinklers shooting right towards the patio door making it difficult to load without getting wet. Other than that space worked well for our families. Manager easy to get a long with.

Great family get-away spot!
Rustic, cozy property with a lot of character, history, and Western charm. Perfect for our active family of 6. Consists of several conjoined log cabins that provide plenty of space to meet as a group or to have quiet reading time. Big family room was great setting for family game nights and movie watching. Kitchen was large and well-equipped; some of the cookware could use updating. Quick ride to Cody (20 mins) or Powell (5 mins). We did a wonderful snowmobile tour of Yellowstone and would recommend that to others, weather permitting. Property manager Rex did a great job of getting us settled in and was very helpful with recommendations for activities and dining out. He went out of his way to help us with a couple special requests. We would recommend this place to family and friends.

Thanksgiving gathering
The property as a whole was great and worked very well for what we were doing. We spent most of our time in the Kitchen and the Dining/Living Room, which were spacious and inviting. The large sliding glass doors all along the back side of the main building added to the openness of the space and made it easy to come and go from more than one door. The rustic nature of the main building was great. The kitchen was well equipped and we used it a lot. The bedrooms were comfortable and there were plenty of extra sheets and comforters. There was ample parking, but because of the layout of the driveways and the narrowness of them, we had to shuffle vehicles occasionally to get people in and out. The entrances are small and it would have been almost impossible to get my large pickup into one of them. There was easier access through the caretakers lot though, so it was not a problem. The only downside was the cabin that had two bedrooms and its own kitchen. It was not attractive and could use a remodel. It worked well as a sleeping space and we were able to use the stove to supplement additional space needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. The back porch of the main building and the grounds are excellent and would be a great asset in the warm months. It was cold when we were there so didn't get to use it, however, we did use the hot tub, which was wonderful. My wife and I owned and operated a guest ranch for ten years so we are somewhat particular. We loved this place though and we highly recommend it. The owner and caretaker were easy to communicate with, they were accommodating of our pets and the caretaker did an excellent job of showing me around and getting me familiar with the property. It is well managed and is a great venue for large gatherings.

Like going to camp.
Rustic, interesting, authentic, kitschy, asymmetrical, awkwardly fun, dated. I found it hard to reconcile the bill with a carpeted bathroom, which is my own personal secret horror. To be fair, the carpeted bathroom was spacious and adequate. But to rent to group after group...? It left me with the sense that proximity to Yellowstone covers all sins. Which is probably true in the rental business. The indoor space of the main unit is friendly and usable, giving a large group room to spread out and diversify their activities, which was exactly what we needed with two large families with lots of kids. I took stars from the "accuracy of the description" as I found the outdoor space, including the garden, which was more just some wild-ish landscaping of awkward space, to be less usable and amenable than advertised. Other than a good sized porch with grill and hot-tub, I found the lot quite small compared to the impression the online description gave me, and the proximity of the other structures (owner's house, manager's trailer) meant that being outdoors did not appeal as one would hope. The studio space was of a far inferior quality to the main space, and had a weird vibe, as did being warned that a crowd would be using the yard one of the evenings we were there for a "meditation." As for the outdoor space, the owner seems to want both to have a rental property and a personal property, and it's just not that big. The decor is compelling and coffee table books and taxonomy and stone and logs tell a fascinating, appealing, unpretentious story of life in the West. The hot tub was lovely and the views serene. The kitchen is completely unique, and while not exactly well-appointed, has undeniable charm. There's a lot to be said for this rental. But the carpeted bathroom overwhelms other better memories with shivers in my spine. Might just be me.

Exactly what I was looking for!
I held a family reunion at this property, and EVERYONE loved it. My family typically camps for our family reunions, but as our oldest generation is getting older (75+), I thought it would be good to get a place with beds, but still felt like we were in the beautiful outdoors. This was the place. We had creature comforts as well as space for tents for the younger members of the family. One of the greatest things about this is that we had space to cook and eat our meals together. We were there during a very hot spell and between the AC and fans, we were more than comfortable inside. Some of my family came in from nearby Cody, and they were surprised to have driven passed this place so many times never knowing the hidden treasure behind the trees. It was very private...our own personal oasis. I appreciate Dave taking a chance on my group as I wasn't 100% sure how many would be there. And, it worked out well. Also, Rex was great to work with!! Many of my family members enjoyed talking with him about the history of the place and surroundings. He took great care of us. Would I come here again? I certainly would!! Thank you Dave & Rex. It was a great place for my family to come together after two long years. -Wylea
