I was referred here by someone who knows the owner, so I did not try to make a reservation without that connection. However, if you find yourself in Cody, needing a place to rest your head, this is a very nice place.
Its on the edge of town, for me was on the way "in" from the East, and is up a dirt road that you should probably not drive too fast on, but not one with a lot of potholes or anything like that.
There are not many rooms here, and from what I understand only single beds, but each room as two of those. Some rooms share a bath, others do not. There are two "houses" that have rooms in them. Communal entryways and a shared kitchen area, which is stocked with a few pans and things like that.
On the honor system they provide sodas, I think they were fifty cents each?, and you put money in a jar. There is also a washer dryer, also honor system that you can use. I had not expected this, but was thrilled, as I had been traveling for some time and the laundry was piling up. While they supply soap as well, I used my own. I'm not sure what the suggested donation was there, but there was one, it was more than reasonable, and frankly, its great to be able to do laundry and not have to sit at a Laundromat etc.
Each place has a living room, and while there were tvs in those, I did not watch them. There is free wifi.
The grounds are lovely, many statues made by the owner, shes an artists as well. She has traveled worldwide, and the influences show in her art work. There is a lama that comes to visit as well, but don't worry, there are cow grates to keep the animals out, but that allow you to drive in and out as you need.
They do host many retreats, hence the "shared rooms" and I think they are often full with those. This is a "no frills" place, but its very nice, the couple who run it are terrific and its a nice thing to do that's a little different from the usual hotel experience.
I loved this place and would have stayed more than one night if I could. Cody itself is a great town that I also enjoyed.
(While it is part of the Episcopalian diocese in WY, you don't have to be a member of the church, or any other church for that matter to enjoy this space.)
