About this property

Experience a Unique Wyoming Mountain Retreat - 500 acres just for you!

Important Access Note:
**This is a rugged mountain road with steep inclines and multiple switchbacks. A truck or SUV is required for access**

Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in one of Wyoming’s most unique rental homes located near the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park! Nestled atop Spirit Mountain (also known as Cedar Mountain), this secluded home offers unparalleled panoramic views of the entire Big Horn Basin!

If you are seeking for a private getaway with 500 acres of exclusive land for hiking and outdoor adventure, this is the perfect retreat. While the lower part of the mountain is a favorite local hiking spot, your stay takes you beyond - into a peaceful sanctuary with stunning vistas, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking sights like the Shoshone River's hot pools and sinkholes in the distance.

About the Home:
This 2100 sq. ft. mountain retreat is designed for comfort while embracing the rugged beauty of Wyoming. With a fireplace on every level, this home offers a cozy atmosphere no matter the season.

- First level: kitchen, bedroom with trundle (2 singles), full bathroom, and laundry room.

- Main level: Living room with a wet bar, queen hide-a-bed, an additional trundle bed, and access to the expansive deck with a fire pit and sweeping views of Cody below.

- Top level: Master suite with a queen bed, pull-out futon, and a full bathroom offering stunning Wyoming views.

An Unforgettable Location:
This retreat is perfect for relaxation, adventure, and quality time with friends and family. Nearby, you'll find Spirit Mountain Cave - an exciting destination for spelunking (contact the local BLM office for access). And just at the base of the mountain, the town of Cody offers shopping, dining, entertainment, and the world-famous Buffalo Bill of the West.

Book your stay today and experience Wyoming like never before!

This place is awesome. It’s an adventure to get there but staying on top of your own mountain is priceless. We hiked, floated the Shoshone, did trail horse rides on the mountain, rented a UTV for a couple of days, went into spirit cave with access from the BLM office, went to the nite rodeo, all the things.

Please Be Aware

We planned to stay two nights at this beautiful retreat on the mountain, but after driving up the “trail” the first day, our unique stay was clouded by the terrible trek to access the rental. Once you start the trek up the trail to the house, you are pretty much committed to finish. We climbed at a steady pace of 1-2 MPH as to not bottom out in the rocks and washed out areas. It took us an hour to drive 4 miles to the rental. I contacted Stacy on our trek up informing her that we were not comfortable with the condition of the road, in which she assured me that the description online was warning enough for us to know what we were getting in to (it was apparent she has taken many concerned phone calls of this nature). She also stated that a 4x4 is needed (not in the description) and that guests drive 10-15 MPH on the “road” (would be impressive to see). I captured pictures on our way down, which was easy since I had to get out of the SUV multiple times to guide my husband to the “best path”. Not sure what you’d do if the trail would be wet. Please follow the advice from me and multiple others to only rent this home if you have a high-clearance 4x4 or, better yet, an off-road vehicle made for these conditions. Otherwise, you will be frustrated trying to get refunded for canceling the remainder of your stay because you’d rather not destroy your vehicle with the trek. Thank you, Erin, for making the refund happen for us! I’d contact her directly for any issues.

Tranquil, but First Impressions…

First impressions: 1. The drive up is no joke. Even with higher clearance and four-wheel-drive, plan on 50 minutes coming up the mountain or going down. Highly recommend not doing this in the dark. There are many places where you have to strategize and if you don’t have a good visual on the next 20-40 feet, you could end up high centered and/or doing damage to your vehicle. On the day we returned from exploring Yellowstone, a small boulder had loosened and rolled down in the road. We had to roll it out of the way to get through.2. The property is very unkempt and looks abandoned. The weeds, grass, and small bushes are overgrown on the east side of the house where you first pull up. On the west side of the house there’s a really nice drive and patio area, but it is not inviting to look at. There are overgrown weeds and grasses in the cracks all over the driveway, some 2 feet tall. 3. Upon entering the foyer, we were assaulted by the smell of a dead rodent, which was clearly coming from the entryway closet. We messaged the property manager about this and a couple of other issues, and someone did come up the next morning. We were not here, and I’m not sure what they did because the odor is still there.4. The rest of the house was very inviting. The decor is lovely and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. We stayed a total of six nights. It’s beautiful, secluded, and unbelievably peaceful. Because there is a grill included as one of the amenities, we came prepa

Unable to make it up the mountain

We had really hoped to stay at this property, but the drive up the mountain was terrifying. We made it one of the three miles up the mountain in our pickup truck and decided it was safest to turn around and book a hotel instead. I’m sure the property is beautiful but we could not make it up the “road”. Please note this is not a paved road, has very large rocks that tore up our tires and make the truck bottom out, and the entire drive was a narrow path on the edge of the mountain with steep drop offs. I don’t believe this drive is suitable for any vehicle.

Postcard Perfect!

Our group of 7 adults each gave this stay a 10/10! The views were beyond amazing and an experience unlike one we’ve ever had. They’re not kidding though when they say a 4WD is necessary. I would add a high clearance 4WD would be best but oh, so worth the 40 minute drive up the mountain. Make your grocery list and check it more than twice lol. I can attest that we all slept well and can say the master bedroom mattress was amazing! We would have loved to have had a kitchen table to gather around, but the countertop seating was sufficient. Pack warm clothes…we had sleet on July 6th!! It’s much colder up there than we expected but we were comfy in our sweats gathered around the outdoor fire pit. I have already recommended this cabin on the mountain to someone planning a trip out West Thank you for allowing our family to share your home to make memories we will never forget.

Amazing - NO other house like this!

This is truly a unique location & as far as we could tell, the ONLY home on Spirit Mountain. If you want privacy/seclusion & amazing views, this is the place! Each of us in our family had a great week there. Our 4 year old loved all the butterflies & playing in the little teepee. Our teens, 16 & 13, loved hiking, fire pit, exploring in the side-by-side & of course - the internet. We brought a ps4 & our Amazon fire sticks. I recommend that if your kids use that stuff to stay connected. The internet, considering the remoteness of the location, worked great for everything & the Wi-Fi range was everywhere we needed it. I can’t say enough about what we called the back patio area where the firepit seating is. The view down to the town of Cody is amazing. Yes, there were a couple nights the wind was too much to enjoy a fire - but we were definitely able to on other evenings. We had brought our ‘cornhole’ board set from home & set those up to play on the patio area as well. The owner is amazing - communication was always available. The owners have ample campfire seats in the house that we were able to use. The built in seating area around the firepit is perfect. Sunrises w/coffee were amazing. Star gazing, amazing! Our kids asked what the cloudy line area was in the night sky on one of our first nights - they had not really ever seen the Milky Way! The reviews on the drive up the mountain being quite the trek are right. After the first up/down though, it gets easier. So much more!

To start, the driveway to get to the unit was 4 miles of rough, rocky terrain on the side of a cliff. It was very dangerous and hazardous and it took an hour and a half to navigate.The rental had no ice, and no way to make ice.There were no supplies..soap, shampoo, etc. The water smelled like sulfur, there was no hot water in the master bath.The doors locked us out of the house and it took over 2 hours to get back in.The fireplaces did not work and the only heat was 2 floor space heaters, which took quite a while to figure out how to operate. There were no instructions.With the road requiring an hour travel each way it simply was not feasible to go back and forth to the rental

Beautiful cabin, location and views.

The cabin is beautiful and the views from the mountain top are spectacular. The cabin is well maintained, modern, and comfortable. The accommodations were excellent. Our only concern was that the access road up the mountain is quite steep, treacherous and laden with large rocks, ruts and stones. The online description says, "This is a mountain road with switch backs and steep inclines, Truck/SUV required to get to the property" but this understates the condition of the road. It takes 40 minutes to travel the 6-7 mile journey up and down the mountain and a high clearance vehicle is definitely required. We were fortunate to have dry conditions, but the road would be virtually inaccessible during rain or wet conditions. Property manager, Erin, was extremely accommodating, considerate and helpful. She was readily accessible by email and text for any question.

Breathtaking views

The views are unbeatable and the house was from a story book and would highly recommend this house to couples who want a getaway of seclusion and romance . It’s a prefect honeymoon spot . The road makes sure you’re not coming and going. Makes you enjoy the environment around you. Definitely need a 4 wheel drive truck to get up but after that you want regret it.

Amazing views, 5 miles up the mountain takes 25-30 minutes w a suv or 4wd. Road up is very narrow and down right dangerous. Once up house is great, fire pit amazing, it was too windy for us to enjoy it though. great hiking areas.

Secluded and relaxing

We loved it here. The road is rough. We come from the country so we are used to dirt roads. This road is more than that. We drove a GMC Yukon with 4 wheel drive and clearance was questionable in places. It took 35 minutes each way. It’s about 4 miles off the main road. That being said if you want to see beautiful views and relax this is the place for you. The drive made us just stay and relax since we didn’t want to make it more than once a day. Close to so many things. We spent a day in Yellowstone. Cody is a great town. We were not disappointed. There was a small issue. That was a complete fluke. We got a hold of Erin. She was friendly and quick to resolve everything. She was great! I would highly recommend staying here. It was a great experience.

Perfect for a quiet getaway

This house and property are stunning. I recommend this to people who want a quiet getaway, and who don’t necessarily have plans that require them to leave the place daily - both because of the drive, and because you’ll want to stay and fully appreciate what’s here. I don’t know if I would stay again, but only because the drive up the mountain was so rough and crazy. Despite the drive, it was the most beautiful and relaxing place. It’s quiet, absolutely gorgeous, and you feel on top of the world. We had some unexpected situations during our stay, but every time I contacted the host, she responded quickly and made sure things got taken care of. Our purpose for staying was to spend time in Yellowstone. It was more drive time than we would have liked to get to the entrance, but overall it worked out well for us and we were happy with our stay.

Interesting

The house is good and the furniture is good quality. The views are terrific. The road is your worst nightmare. We had a full size GMC 4 wheel drive and had to do 4 miles an hour or less in places. The off road vehicles are ruining the road. It took 30-40 minutes each time. We only went up and down once a day. There is really only one bedroom, one closet, and one dresser. The other places to sleep are just a day beds, a pullout couch and a futon. There were no top sheets for any beds, no extra linens or pillows for the futon or pullout couch. The outside propane grill was broken and people were using it as a charcoal grill. I messaged the owner who said they would try to replace the grill. They did not. I also messaged her about the linens and never received a reply. The master bedroom had toenail clippings all over the floo from previous renters. The sewer gas was so bad two nights we could not use the downstairs bathroom.

Great stay

This is our 2nd time staying here. We love the privacy, the diverse weather on top of the mountain. According to my wife we are about 5,000 feet higher than the town of Cody below. Much cooler up top. Love the ride up and down. We rented a side by side polaris ranger in town at tread and trails next to the Walmart and that made getting up and down much easier. We also explored the mountain going to the very top with a million dollar view of the entire lake and Noth and south fork views toward yellowstone. Great outdoor space for my son and dogs. Plan to be back again!

Cool mountain top home

The house and it’s deck are beautiful. They could add more sleeping area, the double beds aren’t double beds. The kitchen could add a small dining table so that kids can sit as well. In the instructions they could specify that you MUST drive an SUV with sufficient clearance. The other amenities like warm water, clean silverware, kitchen appliances and laundry are in good condition. Owner should add dead bolt to both doors of the property.
