The cabin was bigger than a hotel room with nice, comfortable beds for everyone in our family. The location was a wonderful get away set out side of town. The on site restaurant served very delicious food.
Check in was a breeze. Was greeted with a friendly, smiling face! Our cabin was perfect. Clean, spacious and cute! The stars from the front porch at night are breathtaking! Amazing river close by we took our 2 teenagers to check out and they loved. Beds and pillows were comfy. I will 100% recommend to everyone I know!
The location is beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was a great size for my family of 6. The bathroom fixtures were a little crowded but it didn’t bother us. The restaurant was closed when we were there which was a bummer but we would definitely go back!
parking was easy, private cabins, quiet, beautiful location. Disappointed that restaurant was closed and we were not notified until we arrived. We would have shopped more in Cody prior to arriving. Lovely place. Would return.

Historic cabins with older furnishings
The furniture really needs to be updated. The beds are firm. The shower was difficult to manage. There will be no phone signal, but the management will send you a message to warn you. Please note that the WiFi does not reach all of the cabins from the central lodge. You will also be paying your entire balance at the hotel, not through Expedia/Hotels regardless of what the website says. The restaurant there is very good, but plan to make a reservation as it is small and lots of people come to eat. The scenery around the cabins is beautiful. It’s about a half hour to the east gate of Yellowstone, but plan extra time to reach anything in the park.
This is a great place to get away and just be with your thoughts and self. They only serve dinner. The closet breakfast is a drive away. There was mouse poop on our bedding when we got there, but what do u expect when this place is located in the middle of nowhere. This place is located Wapiti, not Cody. The staff was nice. Our toilet did not work in our original room, so they gave us a second room that was ajoining. So we ended up withb2 rooms, 1 working toilet, 5 beds. Overall it was a great nights sleep.

For greater than $200 a night you get to experience a small cabin that likely doesn't pass local building codes. The lights are dim and flicker like you're in a horror movie, the mattresses and pillows are of the cheapest quality. There is zero lighting outside apart from the sign leading you in, but that wasn't always on, this is bear country after all.
The toilet is so close to the wall you can't sit on it straight and good luck trying to figure out the shower; The valve must be the design of someone's drunk uncle, just when you got the water warm enough, the shower is about to overflow because it doesn't drain fast enough, because the tile lip on the floor is very shallow, then you have to turn the water down and surprise, you either have scalding hot or ice cold. There is no indication of hot or cold. I had a dead bug under my pillow like a gift from the tooth fairy. The restaurant when open was great and the management was very professional, kind and helpful. I give this place a failing grade of 2 out of 5, it would be a 1 but the staff earned themselves an extra star. Maybe I just got the bad cabin. New shower valves, cheap solar yard lights and turning the water temp down on the water heater would go a long way here.
The view from our cabin was breathtaking & majestic.
The restaurant on site was fabulous- Stephanie who ran the restaurant & checking guests in was an absolute delight. I loved every moment we spent there.

Room was clean and comfortable. Dining options are limited to several places. The establishment offers dining as well on site.
Nice, separate cabins around the property; Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff; Great on-site restaurant that serves amazing dinner options. Simply wonderful and beautiful place to spend a vacation.
Terrific place to stay and Jory went above and beyond to help me with a misplaced Driver's License. Rooms were clean and simple and bed & shower were great. Also, restaurant was awesome!
