About this property

Peaceful Log Home near Yellowstone

The perfect place to relax, this immaculate, older log ranchhouse offers stunning views and a quiet location. Enjoy a spacious living room and eating area, full kitchen, master bedroom with a small en-suite bath with shower stall, two additional bedrooms, and a
second full bath on the upper level of the home. The lower level of the house (ground floor) has a comfortable living space, three bedrooms, one full bath, a half bath, and a laundry with washer and dryer. An attached single car garage is available for guests' use.

Our peaceful log home is located halfway between Cody and the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park. The home is easily accessed from US Hwy 14-16-20, a route which Teddy Roosevelt once called the “most scenic 52 miles in America”. With its beautiful views from the upstairs porch and a 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. Cody, home to the world-famous Center of the West with its five separate museums, also has art galleries, river rafting, grocery stores, and great shopping and restaurants. There are also several restaurants and a small convenience store within five miles.

One additional 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; however, the buildings are set apart so that each also 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.

A great place to relax but also enjoy the outdoors
The house was plenty big for the 8 people in my family. We had plenty of room to spread out and have space. We absolutely enjoyed walking the property with it’s breathtaking views. Yvonne and Doug were so kind and very prompt to respond to all of my questions. Doug was very helpful with giving us advise about the area and the fun things we could do. We were able to celebrate my daughters 13th birthday. There were cute decorations and a cake waiting for her when we arrived. The surprise made her day! Thank you Yvonne and Doug!

Great place for multiple families
We enjoyed the ranch house so much with 6 kids and 6 adults. There was plenty of room for us to space out and not feel crowded. It was the perfect little getaway home and provided us with everything we needed while visiting Yellowstone and the Tetons.

Should have booked elsewhere...
While the description on VRBO is technically accurate, I wonder if the reviewers actually stayed in the same house we did. I left 3 pages of hand written (9 different items) issues that we experienced while staying at this property for 7 days & 6 nights, July 2023, at the property when we checked out, for the owner. While the property was adequate for our stay, it was definitely NOT what we expected for the money we paid.

Family Trip
The property was even better in reality than the listing showed! The configuration of bedrooms was perfect for our four couples, our 20-year old son and two young great nephews. The views are amazing and Doug and Yvonne were very accommodating and responsive to any needs and questions we had. You won’t be disappointed!!!!
