What's nearby

  • A fabulous tribute to the wild, wild west and one of its famous participants Buffalo Bill Cody. There are actually 5 museums here and while Buffalo Bill's story is the star attraction, the Yellowstone Natural History museum was also really interesting. I was so impressed by the quality of the exhibits and the old photographs were just wonderful. A real surprise

Our stay at Papa Bear Cottage was enjoyable. The house was comfortable, met the needs of two couples and in close proximity of our activities. The host was very accommodating, helpful with Cody tips, and responsive. One thing to note is that house is located on a main road, so there may be some traffic noise late at night/early in the morning. We would stay here again!

This property was just perfect for my husband, parents and I. It was centrally located near the town center and was quite cozy and very clean. Amy and Jared were wonderful hosts and got back to us quickly with questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Cody.

Charming, Convenient, Clean!

This charming home was perfect for our recent visit to Cody. The living room was perfect for visiting with family and playing cards. It had everything that you could possibly need. We ate out because there are so many great places to eat in Cody. Finally, I have never stayed in a vrbo that was this clean. It was beyond clean. We will definitely stay here again!

Good for families with kids

Two couples stayed in the Papa Bear for 2 nights. Owner very nice and friendly. Livingroom good size and King room was good size with bathroom. Parking was easy. Queen room that we stayed in was smaller than expected and bathroom was outside of room and smaller than we like with lavatory with no countertop space and door wouldn’t lock. Washer and dryer located in master bath which made it awkward doing laundry in other couples bathroom. Entry into house used a keypad and would take 3-4 tries to get deadbolt to work. To tight. I didn’t feel it was right for couples but my wife and the other couple who had the big bedroom said it was ok. Hope this helps.

Papa Bear Dreams

My husband, me and Uncle stayed at Papa Bear May 24-30, 2024 and it was amazing. I had a couple of questions during booking and called Amy; she was right there to help me through them. I addition, she noted if we got into Cody before check in time to call. If the VRBO was available, we'd be able to settle in. That's exactly what happened; it was nice to check in early after an 8 hour drive from Colorado. The corner property location is perfect, we could park our fishing boat with no issues. The house is very nice too! I'm glad we didn't stay in a hotel. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a nice sized kitchen and living room. It was perfect for our group, with another room to spare. The house smelled and looked wonderful too (we girls notice these things, pretty much right away). Equally important was there was a washer and dryer, with a package to run a couple of loads- which was REALLY nice. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook and sit down to have a family meal too- plus a dishwasher. I really loved that the master bath/bedroom door could shut off the rest of the house- we had a snorer. The back yard was pretty and spacious too. We didn't get a chance to BBQ, but will nex time we stay for sure. None of us have stayed in a VRBO in Cody but I would highly recommend Papa Bear, especially over a hotel. Our stay was perfect, in every way possible. Thank you Amy!!!
