I stayed here with 2 friends and we had a lovely time. We spent 2 nights in the Grand Farm House which is beautiful with incredible floor to ceiling views of Hart Mountain and the surrounding area. We then had one additional night in the Teepee, a nice change of pace with some great star gazing. If you stay, be sure to get up for the cowboy breakfast which is simple but delicious and farm fresh (might change but we had pancakes, sausage, and coffee). I look forward to returning here whenever I'm able.

Stayed here in june 2018. Stunning nights with a great atmosphere. Loved everyone who stayed andbl the host was so kind. It was the sister of the owner. She was just wonderful. The cowboy breakfast is something i still think about.

The cabin we stayed in was beautiful. Close to Cody and the owners are very nice. There was a mix up with the website and we had to move once but not their fault and they handled it well. Overall would recommend!

What a great stay! 20 minute drive from Cody. Quiet wonderfulness out on the farm. Beautiful, eclectic, and artsy house. Comfortable and relaxing. Great place to unplug. Leave the laptop and phone in the car! More than a night or 2 to really appreciate the experience. Must visit!

This is a LOVELY camping spot!!! The land is AMAZING, there’s an outdoor hot shower, comfortable hammocks by the creek, a wonderful cowboy breakfast every morning, and the folks who run it are outstanding people!!! I will definitely be going back! It’s also in a great location! Close to Heart Mountain, the Japanese Interpretive Center, and just the right distance from the noise of Cody to be well worth the 20 minute drive.

The lodging and decor where both wonderful and beautiful. The Cline's made marvelous hosts. Brians impeccable knowledge of the local area and National park was invaluable. Susans morning coffee was to die for. Cowboy cup of course. Viewing wildlife from the farm was a joy. Due to a flight canx, I had to spend a night in Cody. That gave me a great appreciation for the Big Quiet vs the Big Noise. Hey, the local Pickleball wasn't bad either. TB

As a traveling nurse I miss my friends and family. This place is a hidden gem for anyone looking for a connection in a world of isolation. I slept in the cozy wagon and enjoyed a wonderful nite meeting new friends by the fire under an open starry sky. Hated to leave after a delicious breakfast. Will definitely be back
