Where do I begin.... I don't think there are enough words to describe our experience here... We…read morestayed here for 5 nights for our mini family vacation. We went to Wyoming to visit family in Powell (25 miles away). We were looking for a place to stay to accommodate 5 of us without breaking the bank. Having been in the hotel industry for 15 years, one can't help but become a bit of a hotel snob...and all the hotels/motels in Cody weren't really pulling my fancy. So when hubby found K3 guest ranch online, I was intrigued but wary because I've never stayed in a bed and breakfast. And boy, was I glad that we decided to stay here. Driving in was a bit of a challenge, because we got a bit turned around we ended up arriving later than we expected. And no wonder they make sure that you arrived the first time around prior to 6pm. Because the place is really well hidden. You are close enough to town, but far enough away from hustle and bustle. The paved road will end about 1.5 mile away from the house, and you will drive down a graveled dirt road for a bit. You get deer, cattle, horses, pronghorns as company. Coming from a city like LA, this was really a different experience, and I loved it. The night we checked in, we couldn't really see much of the property, because it was dark. But when the sun come up in the morning, that's when you really get a sense of your surroundings. And it will put you in awe of the serenity and expansive land around you. Most certainly something we don't see in the city. 30 something acres of land surrounding a main house that was built by the owner himself 20 years ago along with a glamour tent and a sheep wagon on the sides of the main house. And the details are amazing because one can really see the care they put into turning this into a B&B are notches above others. There is outdoor seating area, fire pit, horse corral, green house to list a few. The service itself is wonderful. From Jerry (the owner), Betty (Jerry's wife), Debbie & Jojo (masters of all departments--they cook, feed and clean up after you), we couldn't asked for a better group of people to spend our breakfast with every morning. They truly make you feel like family, especially Jerry and his great sense of humor. If you are looking for great entertainment along with great accommodation, this would be the place for you. We stayed at the Glamour Tent off to the side of the main house. It's really a tent (soft wall and all) but it has real roof, foundation, small porch, a king sized bed, a bunk bed, a foldable cot, full sized bathroom, and a kitchenette complete with microwave, mini fridge, sink, coffee maker, utensils, etc. the tent will sleep 5-6 people comfortably. It's heated with wall units, also has a ceiling fan, wall a/c. I had thought we were going to freeze our butts off, because the weather was around the high 30's and Mid 40's at night. But the heaters in the tent along the one in the bathroom really kept the place nice and toasty. It was really windy and the wind took us a bit to get used to, that's just because we were 'city slickers'. Every morning breakfast is served in the main house at 8am sharp. And they do feed you good breakfast. Debbie is definitely a great cook. She and Jojo (her sister) will take care of you like family. After breakfast we go about our days, I always sit out on the swing and take in the big open sky and green field like nothing we would find in LA. And my kids will play outside with the residential dog/s. Definitely a great place to unplug and unwind. That's because it's really off the beaten path, please note that cell phone signal and wifi were very patchy. But it got the kids to notice the outdoor more. And that to me is mission accomplished. If you are driving through from Yellow Stone and staying in Cody, do your self a favor and book a room here. Thanks Jerry and team for having us and taking such good care of us!

We booked Monster Lake Ranch for my daughter's wedding. Despite having over four months notice they…read moreweren't ready for us. We weren't able to set up for the wedding until a few hours before and that was because they didn't have anything ready. We had to clean the place before setting up because nothing had been cleaned. They had my deposit for over four months and I paid the entire balance 30 days before the wedding and yet they still did NOT have the place ready even though I was assured it would be. Because we had to do all of the cleaning and then the setting up I missed out on being present while my daughter got ready. I didn't get to help her into her dress. I didn't get to make memories or take pictures. I was robbed out of many things that day. Also, family stayed on the property and paid full price despite dirty rooms that were t even ready to be checked into until late evening and no hot water the next day. The website promises available breakfast and yet there was no breakfast and the restaurant was closed. They were told it was seasonal; the website says NOTHING about being seasonal. For the first 3 months after booking the ranch for the wedding, I could NOT get anyone to communicate with me. Many emails went unanswered as well as voicemails. When the one and I guess only staff member did finally communicate with me it was to tell me that an entire crew was getting the event center ready. Well that turned out to be one of many lies to come!!!! Nothing was ever done to get the place ready until we did it ourselves, the day of the wedding!!!! Also, we booked the "event center " sight unseen and was promised pictures on many occasions. Never once got any pictures. Then when we finally get there and are taken to the "event center," it turns out to be a huge garage, with no heat or running water. The bathroom facilities were several yards away and if turns out they were dirty and didn't have any towels to wipe hands on. We were out and out lied to many times and I will NEVER recommend this place, at least not with the current staff!!!!!!!

Buffalo Bill Center of the West - A Whole Lot of Space, Not Enough Wow!…read more I really wanted to love the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. After all, we were in Cody, Wyoming, surrounded by all that incredible Wild West history! Unfortunately, this was one of the more disappointing stops on our trip. For such a large and highly promoted attraction, I found the experience surprisingly underwhelming. There seemed to be an awful lot of empty wall space, and I kept waiting for something to really grab my attention. Unfortunately, that moment never came. The dining options were also very limited. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps it was because we were visiting later in the tourist season, but it was still disappointing for a major attraction. We even attended a live raptor demonstration, which sounded like it would be a highlight. Instead, it felt more like sitting through an educational lecture with a heavy-handed message than watching an engaging wildlife presentation. I certainly appreciate learning about animals and conservation, but there's a way to make education entertaining, and this just missed the mark for me. I understand that this museum probably appeals to serious history enthusiasts, and there's certainly a lot of Western heritage to explore. But as someone who enjoys history, wildlife, and unique experiences, I expected a lot more. Bottom line? Lots of square footage, not nearly enough excitement. I came looking for the Wild West and left feeling like I'd spent a little too much time in the Mild West. Not every stop on a road trip can be a winner, and unfortunately, this one wasn't for me.

The rental is basically a single large room with bedroom, dining, and living room. Does have a good size kitchen with full size stove and oven full size refrigerator , microwave and dishwasher. The bed is big and comfortable. This rental does not have stand-alone air conditioner control but we didn't need one during our stay. The cottage does have a couple of fans if needed but the weather during our visit was perfect and we used the fans just at night. The bathroom is full size and plenty of space for everything that a month's stay requires. Owners were very hospitable and friendly. Parking is in the back which is pretty normal for all cottage rentals in the city. No problems with the parking. The only thing I would say that needs improving is the lighting, it was pretty dim from what I am used to, but this seems to be the norm in Cody also as my son's home has the same dim lights. But a few brighter bulbs would make evening reading a little easier. Cottage does provide WIFI and there was no problems with the service. For our extended stay we had use of the laundry room two days per week which was plenty. This would definitely be on my short list for future stays in Cody.

As I sipped my beer, I watched Jessica host one of her Sip and Paint get together. Everyone there seemed to be having a great time - lots of laughter, lots of smiles, and lots of happy people. Afterwards, I spoke to Jessica and said that I would love to try this but that I was a "can't draw a stick man" level artist. I also said that I was impressed with how well everyone's paintings seemed to have turned out. Jessica encouraged me to attend if I had the chance (I am in Cody on vacation for a couple weeks, so I did indeed have the opportunity), and that I just might surprise myself. So, despite my reticence, I made reservations for a family member and myself for the following week. When we arrived, the space was all ready to go. Tables, chairs, tabletop easels, paint brushes, a cup of water (these are water based acrylics), and a tray of all of the needed paints to complete our American masterpieces. Although the night's basic idea was an American flag based sunset with a Buffalo, We were encouraged to use our artistic creativity and to "paint whatever you feel - express yourself." I stuck with the Buffalo. Jessica patiently takes you through the steps of the painting with the brushes to use, the paints used for each step, the blending, and the brush techniques to use to get the different effects. She uses a headset and sound system so she is easily heard by all. My big fear was creating the Buffalo. I was afraid it would look like anything but a Buffalo. Who'd of thought that with just a couple of circles, an oval, and some basic angles, you can build one. We were given excellent and well-paces step by step directions and suggestions as we painted. While there is a finished example prominently displayed elevated up front, Jessica also (effortlessly it seemed) created one as she demonstrated the step. By the time it was done, there were big Buffalos, small Buffalos, flying and levitating Buffalos, branded Buffalos, and skies filled with stars and moons and comets. Just like the week before, our two hours were filled with laughter, smiles, and a lot of people surprised at how well their paintings turned out. And believe me, no one was more surprised than me. What a fun time - a great beer, a chance to meet new new people, an encouraging and charming instructor, and a result that was 100 times better than I had expected. If you get the chance, do yourself a favor and go. I guarantee you will love this.

No matter how long your stay, Cody Shuttle takes care of the details, offering convenient pickup and drop-off at your campground's site. The day we spent with Cody Shuttle, especially our guide Heather, exceeded all our expectations. We set our sights on encountering wildlife and exploring the park, especially the northern part of Yellowstone, having already visited popular spots like Old Faithful. Before we even reached Yellowstone, we marveled at the picturesque landscapes and visited two quaint Montana towns, Cooke City and Silver Gate. We even entered the park via the less-traveled Northeast entrance. Heather was a fountain of knowledge, pointing out wildlife, identifying bird calls, explaining geological features, and offering insights about local plant species. We knew we were in for a treat when we saw a majestic bull moose, its massive antlers on full display. Heather had binoculars and a scope on hand, enabling us to appreciate the wildlife in incredible detail. As we journeyed through Lamar Valley -- the "American Serengeti" -- Heather was always the first to spot the Bison. We saw a vast herd of these "American Buffalo" and their calves often referred to as "red dogs" due to their color, roaming as far as the eye could see. Pronghorn Antelopes were also seen mingling with the herd, a sight that was a poignant reminder of nature hundreds of years ago! Throughout the day, we saw more of Yellowstone's wildlife -- Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, and Elk, often with their young. We enjoyed a fresh and tasty deli lunch at a hotel in Mammoth Springs, a historic district formerly known as "Fort Yellowstone." Heather shared the evolving story of Mammoth Springs. We ended the day with not one, but two Black Bear sightings at different points. We even joked with Heather about arranging a Grizzly Bear appearance, and as we drove on Sylvan Pass towards the East Entrance, there it was, a massive Grizzly Bear! It seemed like every wildlife sighting was perfectly timed, although we know it was pure luck. But we'd like to think that Heather was our lucky charm! By the way, Cathy and Alvin, the owners of Cody Shuttle, are truly dedicated to their service. We met them during our tour; they were exploring the park on a holiday, looking for ways to enhance their tour plans.
