Cody, Wyoming
Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in one of Wyoming’s most unique rental homes located near the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park! You cannot visit Cody without taking in the backdrop of beautiful Spirit Mountain (also known as Cedar Mountain). Our VRBO rental sits atop this sprawling mountain where views of the entire Big Horn Basin are unparalleled! If you are looking for a getaway with 500 private acres for hiking and enjoying the outdoors, this one is for you. The lower part of the mountain is a local favorite for hiking, but as you make your way up the mountain, you will enter the property where you will have a secluded retreat, views of the town below, and wildlife all around. In the distance, you will see the Shoshone River with hot pools and giant sink holes beyond.
The first level of the house has a kitchen, one bedroom with a trundle bed (2 singles), one bathroom, and a laundry room. On the main level, you will find the living room with a wet bar, one queen hide-a-bed, and another trundle bed. When walking out on the deck from this level, there is a firepit and expansive views of the surrounding area, including the town of Cody below. The top level consists of the master, which has a queen bed, a pull-out futon, and a full bathroom. From the bath on this level, you can look out on the beauty of Wyoming. The home has been recently remodeled, is 2100 square feet, and has a fireplace on every level.
This home is the perfect getaway for relaxing in total serenity, taking in adventure and hiking, and hanging out with friends and family. Spirit Mountain Cave is just down the road. People interested in spelunking can contact the local BLM office for instructions on how to enter the cave. Cody is located at the base of the mountain where you will find shopping, dining, entertainment, and have the opportunity to visit the world-famous Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

Stunning views. Beautiful,peaceful property. Great place for relaxing and downtime. Erin was quick to reply when needed and an excellent host.
This is truly a unique location & as far as we could tell, the ONLY home on Spirit Mountain. If you want privacy/seclusion & amazing views, this is the place! Each of us in our family had a great week there. Our 4 year old loved all the butterflies & playing in the little teepee. Our teens, 16 & 13, loved hiking, fire pit, exploring in the side-by-side & of course - the internet. We brought a ps4 & our Amazon fire sticks. I recommend that if your kids use that stuff to stay connected. The internet, considering the remoteness of the location, worked great for everything & the Wi-Fi range was everywhere we needed it. I can’t say enough about what we called the back patio area where the firepit seating is. The view down to the town of Cody is amazing. Yes, there were a couple nights the wind was too much to enjoy a fire - but we were definitely able to on other evenings. We had brought our ‘cornhole’ board set from home & set those up to play on the patio area as well. The owner is amazing - communication was always available. The owners have ample campfire seats in the house that we were able to use. The built in seating area around the firepit is perfect. Sunrises w/coffee were amazing. Star gazing, amazing! Our kids asked what the cloudy line area was in the night sky on one of our first nights - they had not really ever seen the Milky Way! The reviews on the drive up the mountain being quite the trek are right. After the first up/down though, it gets easier. So much more!
Our group of 7 adults each gave this stay a 10/10! The views were beyond amazing and an experience unlike one we’ve ever had. They’re not kidding though when they say a 4WD is necessary. I would add a high clearance 4WD would be best but oh, so worth the 40 minute drive up the mountain. Make your grocery list and check it more than twice lol. I can attest that we all slept well and can say the master bedroom mattress was amazing! We would have loved to have had a kitchen table to gather around, but the countertop seating was sufficient. Pack warm clothes…we had sleet on July 6th!! It’s much colder up there than we expected but we were comfy in our sweats gathered around the outdoor fire pit. I have already recommended this cabin on the mountain to someone planning a trip out West Thank you for allowing our family to share your home to make memories we will never forget.
This property was absolutely fabulous!!! Up on Spirit Mountain overlooking historic Cody, WY. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in the area. The property will take your breath away. 5 star accommodations indeed!!!
The cabin is beautiful and the views from the mountain top are spectacular. The cabin is well maintained, modern, and comfortable. The accommodations were excellent. Our only concern was that the access road up the mountain is quite steep, treacherous and laden with large rocks, ruts and stones. The online description says, This is a mountain road with switch backs and steep inclines, Truck/SUV required to get to the property but this understates the condition of the road. It takes 40 minutes to travel the 6-7 mile journey up and down the mountain and a high clearance vehicle is definitely required. We were fortunate to have dry conditions, but the road would be virtually inaccessible during rain or wet conditions. Property manager, Erin, was extremely accommodating, considerate and helpful. She was readily accessible by email and text for any question.
The views are unbeatable and the house was from a story book and would highly recommend this house to couples who want a getaway of seclusion and romance . It’s a prefect honeymoon spot . The road makes sure you’re not coming and going. Makes you enjoy the environment around you. Definitely need a 4 wheel drive truck to get up but after that you want regret it.
Amazing views, 5 miles up the mountain takes 25-30 minutes w a suv or 4wd. Road up is very narrow and down right dangerous. Once up house is great, fire pit amazing, it was too windy for us to enjoy it though. great hiking areas.
We loved it here. The road is rough. We come from the country so we are used to dirt roads. This road is more than that. We drove a GMC Yukon with 4 wheel drive and clearance was questionable in places. It took 35 minutes each way. It’s about 4 miles off the main road. That being said if you want to see beautiful views and relax this is the place for you. The drive made us just stay and relax since we didn’t want to make it more than once a day. Close to so many things. We spent a day in Yellowstone. Cody is a great town. We were not disappointed. There was a small issue. That was a complete fluke. We got a hold of Erin. She was friendly and quick to resolve everything. She was great! I would highly recommend staying here. It was a great experience.
This house and property are stunning. I recommend this to people who want a quiet getaway, and who don’t necessarily have plans that require them to leave the place daily - both because of the drive, and because you’ll want to stay and fully appreciate what’s here. I don’t know if I would stay again, but only because the drive up the mountain was so rough and crazy. Despite the drive, it was the most beautiful and relaxing place. It’s quiet, absolutely gorgeous, and you feel on top of the world. We had some unexpected situations during our stay, but every time I contacted the host, she responded quickly and made sure things got taken care of. Our purpose for staying was to spend time in Yellowstone. It was more drive time than we would have liked to get to the entrance, but overall it worked out well for us and we were happy with our stay.
The scenery is beautiful. The house is beautiful. The road up to the house requires a 4 wheel drive with good clearance. We had to use a side by side to get up and down the mountain. Loved the view!!!
