We were in town for a wedding, and had family from different states all staying together, and this worked out really well. We were grateful to work with the owner to figure out logistics.Pity it was such a hot few days, as we didnt get to use the hot tub - which was also extremely hot.Definitely recommended for a gathering like ours.

We had a great stay at Z3! Rex, the property manager, was very helpful in going over everything when we arrived and was available for questions during our stay. It was a nice location to do activities in Cody and Yellowstone. Was spacious enough for our family of seven!

Family Trip

Our stay was very enjoyable. The lodge was perfect for our 8 adults and 4 kids ages five and under. The kitchen and dining area were great. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was not great in the kitchen, but there were plenty of fans to draw cool air from the dining area. We have wonderful memories from our stay at the lodge!

A Wonderful Western Wedding!

We loved the house and it's delightful western theme. It was very comfortable and spacious to accommodate our whole family.We loved the large well stocked kitchen and eating area. We had a great time there and would highly recommend it. Although the weather was cold when we arrived the house was warm and cozy. It was the perfect place for our whole family to be together for the wedding festivities.

We had 4 couples and 2 children stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Couldn't have asked for a better setup for us. The kitchen was large enough for us to cook all of our meals. Table seating was plentiful and the overall rustic cabin theme was right up our alley. Both the owner and property manager communicated extremely well and often. Will definitely look at the place for our future needs.

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion with 14 adults and kids at the property. The property manager was very helpful making sure we had everything we needed for our group including air mattresses, sheets and plenty of towels for the showers and the hot tub. We had one person with a wheelchair and he was able to move around easily within the house and out on to the deck. There are was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for us to gather as a family but also space to spread out. We would definitely stay again.

To rustic

Nice location. Needs updating and some tender loving care. Needs better air conditioning. Landscaping could use some help. Couldn’t be outdoors much because of mosquitoes. Beds need updating.

Thank you for your review. We understand your frustration this past week as it has been unusually hot. In 4 of the 5 bedrooms, we have direct AC. Unfortunately, you used the one bedroom without AC and not one of the rooms with AC . We apologize as it seems it was not communicated clearly to you. Plus there is a way to cool down the that one bedroom without AC . The level of mosquitoes this past week was unusually high due to excessive heat and rain this summer in the Cody area and was an issue for all of Wyoming. I look forward to learning what bed was uncomfortable as we have new mattresses and box springs in 4 of the 5 bedrooms. We are committed to keeping our beautiful gardens pristine. As you know we have extensive landscaping and the gardener had been gone for 2 months for personal reasons. This is being resolved. It seemed to us you appreciated our flexibility in allowing the use of our other lots to safely park and store your trailers and motorcycles. It is curious to us that several of your party of 8 expressed how much they enjoyed the rustic Wild West experience we provide.

Barrows retreat & Z3

Ad misleading thought property was located out in the country according to pictures online not on main Street in town. Also water running 24 hrs in yard, and when we were loading up on departure day sprinklers shooting right towards the patio door making it difficult to load without getting wet. Other than that space worked well for our families. Manager easy to get a long with.

We are very sorry if you felt mislead about our location! We are easily accessible from the highway yet once you get into the multi acre property you are surrounded by fields of horses on three sides and beyond the fields you can see the mountains and are private. Our pictures are 100% accurate. We are sorry if you imagined something different! During the five years we have been in business we have NEVER been accused of lying, misleading or even have guests expressed disappointment ....and we feel you are not being honest or fair. It is very surprising as well given you expressed to Rex how much you enjoyed your stay, felt private and liked the property...the review is a bit confusing

Sibling Reunion

We meet every two years the six of us and spouses. I’m the oldest and was seventy this year so I got to choose the place. What a great quiet spacious setting and house. We went into Cody and Yellowstone during our stay and fixed fantastic dinners at the house in the evenings. Plenty of air conditioners and fans to keep the house cool during the hot July days. Nice cool mornings to bring in the morning air. Just a wonderful place to stay and the extra bachelor quarters were a nice plus. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed staying here. The grocery store was five minutes away and Cody twenty, so was the airport.

Perfect stay for family reunions yet romantic even for our first night

Our first night it was just my hubby and I. They have a room called honeymoon suite and it delivered the setting for a cozy date night! - Then the rest of the family arrived and we all had a blast in this spacious and clean wild west log house property. This place is easy to reach yet quiet. The gardens and mountain views helped us relax and get back to nature. Hot tub under the stars (no light pollution!) was fabulous. The kitchen is well equipped, the bbq outside worked well for our outdoor dinners. The great room was big enough for a grand dinner party. All the bathrooms spotless! Kids had enough space to play outside and have their own space indoors. We loved going to greet the horses at the back of the property when the sun was going down and it painted the mountains golden. We had an amazing experience and are already talking about coming back next year with our bikes. There is plenty of safe space to park our trailers and Harleys. In Cody the Buffalo Bill Museum is worth visiting but you need an entire day to see it all: plains Indian, natural history, fine art, guns, and of course a big wing for the one and only Buffalo Bill.

Loved the property and the manager. Spacious perfect for our needs. Management was available at all times to answer any questions or help us if we needed it. Hot tub wouldn’t go over 104 for us . It was late in the evening so we didn’t ask for help

Fantastic home for a family reunion!

6 adults and two children (4 and 7) for a family get together! Perfect house, plenty of room and an amazing kitchen! Beautiful views, hot tub, and a very comfortable home! It was perfect in every way. The on-site manager was very helpful in all aspects! Dealing with the owner was amazing and answered any questions in a very timely fashion. We would all love to to go back and stay because it was a perfect house - lots of room for everyone!

Spectacular

Prior to arriving we had good communication with the owner and the day of Rex the property manager. When we arrived Rex gave us a detailed tour of the property. It filled all our needs and more. It is a ways from the East entrance of Yellowstone but we knew that prior to booking. Would recommend staying here, very quiet, beautiful views.

Perfect log cabin

This place accommodated our group perfectly! It had everything we needed. Not only was it comfortable with a great view, but it had incredible rustic decor. Rex, the caretaker, was available and so helpful :) This was a great place to stay with a large group and so close to Powell, yet had a rural feel. We highly recommend coming to stay here!

Great family get-away spot!

Rustic, cozy property with a lot of character, history, and Western charm. Perfect for our active family of 6. Consists of several conjoined log cabins that provide plenty of space to meet as a group or to have quiet reading time. Big family room was great setting for family game nights and movie watching. Kitchen was large and well-equipped; some of the cookware could use updating. Quick ride to Cody (20 mins) or Powell (5 mins). We did a wonderful snowmobile tour of Yellowstone and would recommend that to others, weather permitting. Property manager Rex did a great job of getting us settled in and was very helpful with recommendations for activities and dining out. He went out of his way to help us with a couple special requests. We would recommend this place to family and friends.

Thanksgiving gathering

The property as a whole was great and worked very well for what we were doing. We spent most of our time in the Kitchen and the Dining/Living Room, which were spacious and inviting. The large sliding glass doors all along the back side of the main building added to the openness of the space and made it easy to come and go from more than one door. The rustic nature of the main building was great. The kitchen was well equipped and we used it a lot. The bedrooms were comfortable and there were plenty of extra sheets and comforters. There was ample parking, but because of the layout of the driveways and the narrowness of them, we had to shuffle vehicles occasionally to get people in and out. The entrances are small and it would have been almost impossible to get my large pickup into one of them. There was easier access through the caretakers lot though, so it was not a problem. The only downside was the cabin that had two bedrooms and its own kitchen. It was not attractive and could use a remodel. It worked well as a sleeping space and we were able to use the stove to supplement additional space needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. The back porch of the main building and the grounds are excellent and would be a great asset in the warm months. It was cold when we were there so didn't get to use it, however, we did use the hot tub, which was wonderful. My wife and I owned and operated a guest ranch for ten years so we are somewhat particular. We loved this place though and we highly recommend it. The owner and caretaker were easy to communicate with, they were accommodating of our pets and the caretaker did an excellent job of showing me around and getting me familiar with the property. It is well managed and is a great venue for large gatherings.
