3. Children under 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times.

4. If your group has more than one vehicle, please advise owner before checkin.

5. We provide a generous stash of “car towels” which guests may use outside the house for wiping down cars, cleaning shoes, sports equipment, pool use, etc. Please do not use the regular bath towels for non bathing activities.

6. Damage deposit will be forfeited if there are more people than claimed in your reservation or if you bring in a pet. This means you must claim all persons who will be sleeping in the house on your reservation, including children, infants, and overnight guests.

Note: This is a quirky old house. The floors squeak, the windows rattle if it’s super windy, the old door knobs and original wooden doors can stick at times, there is a step down into the dining room, the bathroom off the kitchen is not ideally situated for modern living, the A/C is a window unit while the heat is radiant wall panels in living and dining rooms (meaning bedroom doors may need stay open while sleeping), and the original cast iron sink and tub definitely show their age in surface imperfections. The house is charming, comfortable, and clean. But please be aware: this is not a polished, modern hotel.


House history: This home has been in my family since the 1920s. Originally the property contained only a one room bachelor studio. My great-great uncle Henry added the front four rooms in 1929 using a Sears Kit Home. After his death, my great grandmother Agnes inherited the property. Together with her husband Charlie, they connected the original one room house to the kit home house with the room we now call the dining room. Charlie would also add a screened porch and dig a root cellar deep into the hill behind the house.

The old black and white photo depicts my dad at age 7 standing in front of his grandparents house. In 1953, Agnes sold the house after her husband’s death. From 1953 to 1999, the house would only change hands twice. For most of those years, the house was a rental property. In 1999, I purchased the house which as a child I had affectionately called “Gaga’s House,” and it has been back in my family ever since. In 2018-2019, my husband and I completed some extensive updating to the home and purchased all new furniture, mattresses, and linens in anticipation of making it available as a vacation rental.

    This house was incredibly cute, clean and the location was fabulous. With that being said…The bathroom door does not close all the way. You can hear everything. It’s just not polite. The mattress in the main bedroom needs replaced desperately. I slept on the couch, hubby slept in bedroom because the crease in the middle of the mattress is significant. We both rolled into it. (Both of us tried sleeping in it the first two nights . It wasn’t possible. Dead bugs in the light fixture above the bed of the master bedroom. There are a lot. The dumpster we were supposed to use for our garbage is being used by the neighborhood all hours of the night. Most importantly, it would have been nice to know before we booked this house that a house next door was under construction. So loud, foul mouths on the construction crew and up at 7:15 every week day for when they started. Early one morning there was a skid stear that ran back and forth under our bedroom window. The blinds in the dining room don’t close so the construction crew had a Birds Eye view of me walking around. We had a parking spot in front of the house but the construction crew had trucks and trailers parked right against us.we left a day early. They were preparing to pour concrete on the new construction. We couldn’t take another day of that.

    The cottage was very cute and it was nice to have a kitchen and a W/D. The mattress in the main bedroom had a little dip in the middle, which was a little uncomfortable but easily fixable. There was no AC in the main living area, but we contacted the owner of the property and she promptly took care of it. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a stay in Cody.

    Kitchen was O.K. Some of the kitchen gadgets were old or did not work. Weather was nice so we did not use AC? heater.During our stay a house was being built next door. construction worker started to work 6AM all the time except Sunday. Construction noise draw us crazy. Construction workers standing and talking 2-3 feet away from our bedroom every morning made unbearable. Owners was nice people but they should have let us know ahead of time so we can reschedule. They were inconsiderate from this view point.

    Beautiful older cottage, reminded me so much of my grandparents home. Pictures was accurate of the cottage. Loved the place and the ease to get there. Right downtown with many things to do within walking distance. Seen a deer eating grass across the street one evening. Was so nice to see up close, but still at a safe distance. We will definitely be back to rent again.

    The bungalow was close to downtown (an easy walk), and had great ammenities to use during our stay. It is an old house and thus has some quirks. The bathroom door latches via a chain, the windows don't open very easily, the a/c does its best to cool the rooms it is in, and the doors are sticky. Overall, the host was very accomadating and quick to respond to any issues we had.

    Spent a week in Cody researching potential areas to relocate to. This home was the perfect place to stay - offered me a chance to stay in one of Cody's neighborhoods, is within walking distance to everything, is quiet and very quaint inside. Would stay here again if given the chance!

    This little house is in a very convenient location to all Cody has to offer, on a quiet side street within walking distance of the Center for the West museum complex, Cody's vibrant downtown, and other attractions. It's filled with period details that are quite charming--the collection of 1930s to 1950s kitchen canisters and cooking gadgets, and the collection of vintage salt shakers are fun touches! All of those period collectables can make it feel a bit crowded. But again, they're charming and very much part of the era of the house. When I stayed there, it was chilly inside as the wall heater in the living room was inoperable (the host let me know and apologized and was having it repaired), but it was otherwise very comfortable. For a big group, note that the rooms are true to the age of the house--small and low-ceilinged. But if you're looking for charm, coziness and convenience, this will more than fit the bill! And the host is very responsive.

    Quiet little neighborhood, cutest little house with EVERYTHING you need. Seriously felt right at home, in the best way. Deer hung out in the yard most of the 4 days we stayed, too! Definitely recommend this place. Owner was super nice, to top off a great stay.

    This really is a bit of American history. Part built with a Sears house kit in 1929, it retains a lot of the original bits, like staying in an antique house, i loved it

    The property was exactly as advertised and quite nice, but the amount of instruction the owner left you was silly, like why am I paying this cleaning fee if you want me to do everything. That being said, was a very nice property and anyone looking to stay in Cody should consider it.
