Ranch activities available for fee include horse back riding lesson, property tour by motor vehicle, and branding over open fire. Once you book your lodging, we can send you further details.

Start your day with a blissful hike through the private 215 acres located right outside your door. Or even snowshoe through the oak, birch, and willow tree filled land as you take a break from reality. Our Buffalo Bill Pass hiking trail is marked with markers throughout to guide your adventure. Finish your day by soaking and relaxing in the 5 person hot tub. Then watch the sky light up with flaming red, orange, and pink rays for a gorgeous sunset.

Cody’s Cowboy Retreat is also great for finding deer sheds and morel mushrooms. Many wildlife have been found on property from deer, turkey, geese, and ducks.

Enjoy your meals outdoor on the patio while enjoying the sunset on the southwest patio. When the night falls, watch the star come out to play and enjoy the fire pit.

The driftless area has a lot to offer. Some attractions include Wyalusing State Park, Pikes Peak State Park, Effigy Mounds National Monument, Mississippi river, Kickapoo River activities, apple orchards, natural areas, local wineries, and Villa Louis. There are many annual events that are great to attend including Rendezvous, Spring Fest & Folk Fest, Eastman 4th of July Celebration, Apple Festival, Crawford & Vernon County Fair, Wild West Days, Villa Louis Carriage Classic, Kickapoo Stump Dodger, Driftless Area Art Festival, and wine tasting event in Prairie Du Chien.

Please feel free to bring your utv/atv and ride the 650 miles of road trails in Crawford County. Plenty of room for your trailer to be parked and unloading. Enjoy the day and return to peaceful lodging. Property is located on ATV/UTV route. Crawford County has 650 miles of road routes throughout the county. On a trip through the county, you will enjoy the unique landscape of forests, rivers, hills, and valleys.

Crawford County is a highly desirable county for bow and gun hunting. Property is available for various hunting seasons including deer, duck, geese, and turkey for a fee. The private hiking trail will not be available during hunting season.

Bring your boat and launch at public boat landing. Lynxville is 3.7 miles from property.

Crawford County is located in southwest Wisconsin in the heart of the unique Driftless Region. This small area that includes portions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois was bypassed by glaciers in the last Ice Age. As a result, the area avoided the flattening effect of glaciers on the land. Glacial runoff created many river valleys, steep hills, and limestone bluffs throughout the region. The county is bordered on the west by the Mississippi River, the Wisconsin River to the south, and the Kickapoo River divides the county north to south.

Whether you bring your family, have a girls weekend, or come with friends you are bound to enjoy some cowboy life.

Codys Ranch makes every effort to provide you a safe and enjoyable experience at the ranch. However, riding horses, being around cattle, horses, dogs and other farm animals, hiking, being around ponds, being in the barn, barnyard and other out-buildings, being around machinery, equipment, and other objects, and participating in activities on the ranch by their very nature include risks of serious injury. Each guest will need to sign a liability release.

No smoking or no e-cigarettes.

Do you have a horse and want to bring your horse? We may be able to accommodate you. Please message to discuss.

Are you an avid road cyclist? We have ideas for riding and possibly may have someone available to cycle with you.

Not what we expected
I missed the part in the listing that this was 'part' of a home that was on the lower level with owner and his 3 dogs living above. They were up all night walking around - even with ear plugs in, it was difficult to sleep as the noise was right above our bedroom. Didn't assign us a security code to get into the home, so had to use the owners - not so secure. 3 big dogs that were let out when we were outdoors. I'm a dog person but I was weary of these 3. 1 of them took my arm in his jaw as we were trying to load our cars to leave. Pretty dusty in the unit as well. Owner was nice, but we wanted a quiet weekend away and not needing to tell him what we were doing/going each day. Won't go back.

Long weekend with the family
Had an amazing long weekend with the family at Cody's Ranch. Between Ed and his stories (Ed is the property manager), the views, the horses, chickens, donkey and cows, getting to feed them, the horse riding lesson, getting to take my son on the ATV on the miles and miles of trails on the property, the campfires and having some fun burning some wood with some branding irons, it was perfect!

Horrible host
Dog doo everywhere. His 3 very large dogs tried to attack my kids several times. They need to be on leashes for sure. Host took my 14yr old on a crazy trail ride with no safty grear. While on trail ride host rode over native American grave sites and then joked about it. He told my 14 that iw he can tell everyone that he drove over 3 dead indians. Host said he was only going to show where trail begins which is 20ft from house. Dog stole one of my wifes shoes host didnt care. So now we are out a pair of shoes. Hot tub was cold. Host went to our fire pit started a fire and then waited at the fire for us to come home . He didnt leave our area until my wife asked if he planned on being there long because we wanted alone time. The whole point of going on a family vacation is to be with family . I would not recommend bringing your family to this place. For the money we paid it was not worth it at all
