About this property

Inviting Log Home in Quiet Valley near Yellowstone

Overlooking a beautiful pond, this immaculate older log home offers gorgeous views and a peaceful location and is the perfect place for larger groups or families to relax. Enjoy three bedrooms, two full baths, a spacious living room and eating area, and a full kitchen upstairs. Downstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, comfortable living area, and full bath.

Our inviting log home is located halfway between Cody and the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park. The home is easily accessed from the US Hwy. 14-16-20, a route which Teddy Roosevelt once called the “most scenic 52 miles in America”. With its beautiful views and rustic, rural location that feels like an old western movie set, this is the perfect place to relax and unplug.

Horseback riding, hiking, and fishing are all near by. An easy 25-minute drive away, Cody, home to the world-famous Center of the West with its five separate museums, is home to art galleries, river rafting, grocery stores, and great shopping and restaurants. There are also several restaurants and a small convenience store within five miles of the ranch.

An additional six-bedroom home as well as a small cabin and a large multi-purpose lodge are also located on the ranch making it a perfect spot for larger groups and family reunions. The buildings are set apart so that each has its own privacy. Please contact us for more information on renting multiple buildings on this property.

Our home is on the other side of the large property. We are around the property most days and are always available to meet and help our guests. We enjoy visiting and getting to know our guests and are glad to offer suggestions and advice regarding the area.

Because this home is located in a rural setting, guests should be aware that cell phone service is somewhat limited. Internet (including Wi-Fi) is available in the house; however, guests should be aware that this is satellite-based Internet and speeds are quite slow. Additionally, data usage is capped making the service unsuitable for heavy download usage. We request that our guests refrain from video streaming and gaming. A television with a DVD player is provided in the downstairs living area, but there is no cable service available.

There is no central AC in the house, but there is a window unit in the kitchen and multiple fans available for guests’ use.

Because it is difficult to remove strong odors from logs, cooking of strong-smelling foods, including curries and deep-fried items, is not permitted.
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the ranch.

Good Location for Yellowstone
Nice place to stay. Half way between Yellowstone and Cody. Our stay was in July, it was hot and could have used better air conditioning. The basement was alsway nice and cool. There was 10 of us on motorcycles. The driveway was maintained and navagable. The size of the dining table and living room was great. Had fun when it was time to eat.
