Beautiful spot with an outlook down the valley. Easy access to Yellowstone National Park, and only ~40mins drive from the Cody Rodeo. Camped with a 1-man tent and basic air mattress, would probably suit someone a bit more equipped. Sunrise was beautiful, and I’m sure sunset would have been too if I’d been at the site as it went dark. Steep and rubbly driveway so maybe not best for low clearance 2WD vehicles.

It was a gorgeous property with gorgeous views. The views are definitely unbelievable, and the sunset was gorgeous. However, we brought our two dogs, and I want to mention that the whole area is filled with Foxtails and little burs that love to get stuck in their fur. It was a little cumbersome, getting stuck all over my gear too, but worth it for the gorgeous view. We would hands-down stay here again. It was a little difficult to get to, I would make sure you ask the house for an official address before going! We got lost a little bit and were able to find the location using the information on the stay.
