We have been blessed with this beautiful property and want to share it with others. We have been operating an Airbnb out of the old barn for 5 years now. The barn was the old feed store in Cody and was moved to this property. Buffalo Bill supposedly bought feed from the store. Lovell is known as the Rose Capitol of Wyoming with the climate being perfect for growing roses. The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustangs are just minutes from our place and we almost always see them out there. Starting summer of 2025 we are excited to be partnering with Tangle Ridge Outfitters out of Greybull Wyoming to offer horse trail rides. Ask for how to contact them to schedule your ride. Cody, only 50 miles to the west is a town loaded with history of the old west and features Cody Nite Rodeo every night of the summer from June 1 through August 30 as well as numerous museums and other attractions. Buffalo Bill Museum of the West will keep you busy for a couple of days if you are a museum buff. Just about everyday in the summer, you are likely to see a gunfight on the street in front of the historic Irma Hotel. There is also Old Trail Town, a recreated old west town. Further to the west just 90 miles from here is the East gate of Yellowstone open from the end of May until first of November. Thermopolis with their giant hot springs is just about 100 miles to the south of us. The Bighorn National Recreation is just minutes from Lovell featuring the 3rd Longest Canyon in the United States with breathtaking views of the Reservoir from Devil's Overlook. Further to the east are the Bighorn Mountains where you can frequently see moose, elk, deer and other wildlife.

We had a conference in town and this was a great place to stay. Wyatt was very friendly upon arrival. Set up was easy and spots were nice and level. We didn't spend much time there, mainly to sleep. One downside is the light over the two camp areas is extremely bright and was right over our bedroom area. It was difficult to block out the light. I understand the need for light for safety, but dimming it a bit somehow would be helpful.

This was a wonderful place to camp! We stayed 3 nights and added a 4th. Great views, very quiet, the dogs had room to run off-leash and play ball, and the greeters as we pulled in were a beautiful herd of about 20 Longhorns! We met Megan and her daughter - really nice folks. The road in is gravel but extremely well maintained. We were in a 30ft. pull trailer. Thanks so much to Ryan and Megan!! Great stay!!!

For our last trip of the year, we needed a quiet relaxing weekend, away from people, but close to home, and we found it here! We had the entire place to ourselves. We were invited to hike the property, but we spent our trip relaxing. Even in later September, bring "sketter" spray or a thermocell. See you next year!

Quiet, open, far from the main highway so absolutely no road noise, big views.
My late September stay did include mosquitoes and required repellent. All in all I enjoyed it.

Robert and Anne are great hosts! Both are very sweet and responded quickly to any questions. Hipcamp is close to town, but tucked away in a nice grassy area. Would definitely recommend.

Super friendly! One of the few right in Billings. Private. No fancy anything (water, etc), but perfect for our circumstances

Amazing camp in a cottonwood grove surrounded by grazing cattle on the hillsides. Plenty of sites with shade, a deck with tables for evening conversation and even a furnished MH for dining if the weather is bad. Lulled to sleep with the leaves rustling in the wind, awoke to birds singing and Pronghorn crossing the meadow. Our dogs spent hours running around and throughly enjoyed being off-leash. If you enjoy nature and solitude, this is it. Thanks, Sabra and Bill, for sharing your ranch with us.

This was a wonderful place to stay the night. The hosts were very communicative and the location is perfect for exploring Billings. I love that they have signage up to help you find where to go. Would definitely recommend this place

Is was a great location to go to Little Big Horn. The cabin was very clean and bed was comfortable. Being pet friendly was our deciding factor.

What a fantastic area! Great trails and awesome views. Fewer bear attacks than I had hoped for, but have my fingers crossed for next time.

Drove up to Meadowlark Lake - was a pretty drive but would much rather camp closer to town. Most campgrounds were closed.

Nice place to spend a day or half day. Wild horses and goats right along the road. Plenty of options in the park. Boat landing to access the water, views of the canyon, beach for swimming and many opportunities to see wildlife.

Gorgeous rock formations and forest. Meadowlark lake was a quiet, a great place to cool off, fish, or even paddle board or kayak.

We drove through on our family road trip and were sad that we didn’t have more time to explore! The views were breathtaking and were definitely planning to come back so we can experience it more.

This area is very hot and dry so be prepared to stay hydrated while staying here. We used rocks to hold our tent down and got caught in a sandstorm at night. There were more RV's than tents when we went but still had a overhead shelter that created some shade where we put our tent under. There wasn't any privacy besides space between campgrounds but everyone shares a beautiful view. I would suggest to pre-plan some recreational activities like horseback riding or boating to spend your time wisely while in the hot weather.
