Nestled in the heart of the Wapiti Valley, just a short scenic drive from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, Elk Valley Ranch Retreat offers the perfect home base for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those looking to unwind surrounded by wildlife and stunning mountain views.
This cozy one-bedroom apartment sits on the banks of the North Fork of the Shoshone River, a prime location for viewing elk, deer, eagles, and other wildlife. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee at the café table, watching birds gather by the private pond (please note: no fishing in the pond). With the river just steps away, the sights and sounds of Wyoming's wilderness are never far.
Inside, the space is thoughtfully designed for comfort after your day's adventures. The custom kitchenette includes a Keurig coffee and tea maker, mini fridge/freezer, toaster oven, and microwave (note: no stove/oven). The cozy living area features a dining table, sleeper sofa, and Apple TV, while the bedroom offers a plush king bed and gas stove heater for cool mountain nights. A walk-in shower in the galley style bathroom and Wi-Fi provide modern touches to this peaceful retreat. Whether you're heading into Yellowstone, fly fishing nearby, or simply soaking in the views, Elk Valley Ranch Retreat is a serene and scenic place to call home.

    The guest house was very charming and quiet and the area of Wapiti is incredibly beautiful. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

    The property was great ! It was comfy and cozy. The only downside for us was no washer and dryer on the property, which wpuld've been nice. But my fault for not paying attention.

    The place is great. No one else was around and it is very cute. I am 5’2” and read another review so knew to bring a little stool for the bed. The shower head does not adjust though. The fix is just to lather up after turning it off for a bit. Other than that it is fabulous and book with confidence!

    It was in a good location for entry into East entrance to Yellowstone. Had Elk in the pasture just outside the unit.

    The cabin is in a very beautiful location and the beds were comfortable. The shower is small, but doable. The living room and TV could be laid out differently and it would function better. My recommendation are to change the shower head to tilt down more and replace the shades with something more modern that blocks light. But overall it's nice!

    The cabin was clean, the blow dryer blew cold air, the bed was too far off of the floor, I'm 5'2.The Tv was impossible to figure out. Why even have a TV if it is an apple TV that seniors can't figure out. The water was well water, it was filtered is what they said, but it stunk to high heaven. The towels stunt. They water sprinklers came on at night and the water left stains on our car and windshield Washing the windows did not take it off. Not satisficed at all.

    No AC, in description of property it says to open the windows and enjoy the cool mountain breeze. In the property info folder on the table, it says to make sure to close the windows when you leave to keep the Bears out. I won't stay without AC any place I go from now on. Secondly, I don't care if this place is in the country. It needs black out shades to keep peepers from looking in and the security light from illuminating the bedroom. Other than that, nice little place!

    All things supplied that we needed. Comfy beds and peaceful surroundings. Pleasant owners. Met them since this is an apartment attached to their residence. It wasn’t an issue for us, but you may want to be aware that the shower is TINY. It is about a 25 minute drive in to Cody, but we found it a lovely place to stay to attend the Cody Stampede Rodeo, 4th of July parade, Buffalo Bill museum as well as venturing into Yellowstone through the East entrance.

    We thoroughly loved everything about our stay here. The location is quiet, we were able to open the windows for a cool breeze and felt so relaxed. We looked forward to our next stay!

    We stayed three nights and enjoyed our visit. Home was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable! Bathroom was a bit cramped, and the shower was small and hard to move around in, but we made it work. I noticed others commented on the sheer blinds. We were concerned at first as well. However, when outside looking in you can't see through them. Would stay here again!
