Enjoy your stay in Cody, Wyoming, from the convenience of our historic converted carriage house! We are located just steps away from downtown, easily walkable to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. The enclosed backyard is perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, and relaxing dinners. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. The carriage house is more than 100 years old. It was built at the turn of the twentieth century and is located on the original map for the city of Cody. It was originally a horse stable, later converted to a one-bedroom residence. The carriage house features a living room with an office desk and television, a fully-stocked kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom overlooking the backyard. The house sleeps 4 people, with a double bed in the bedroom and a double-sized pull-out couch in the living room. An optional air mattress can be added to the living room, making room for a maximum of 5. In the backyard, you will find a sitting area. Fresh mint and six-foot-high hollyhock flowers are abundant in July and August. Vehicles are secure in the off-street driveway next to the house. Enjoy your home away from home with a full-sized oven and range, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, tea kettle, glassware, silverware, cookware, soap, and linens. The kitchen is stocked with a full selection of spices to help you cook simple to elaborate meals. Coffee beans, a coffee grinder, and assorted teas will help you get going in the morning. Enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi to log into your laptops and mobile devices. Watch your favorite television shows on the Smart TV when you log into your streaming services on the Roku or choose from a selection of movies to watch on the DVD player. You are welcome to bring your dog and let them out in the fenced-in backyard as long as you pick up after them. Your hosts have a six-year old energetic blue heeler who will primarily be in the front yard, but will attempt to escape to meet the guests, especially if they bring a dog. In the backyard you will find a sitting area. Fresh mint and six-foot-high hollyhock flowers are abundant in July and August (if you help yourself to the mint, make sure you cut it with scissors instead of pulling it from the ground). Guests and their dogs are welcome to use the backyard, which is a shared space with the owners (us) and their dog in the front house. When present, plastic bags by the back door are for dog duty. The yard is a shared space that may be occupied by other guests, the owners, their dogs, and children. Please clean up after your dogs every time they go outside! If you have kids (or even if you don’t), feel free to turn on the sprinkler to cool off after a long day. Please keep the gate closed at all times so that your dogs and ours don’t escape. Take a relaxing five-minute evening hike up the hill behind the cottage via the 10-acre Canal Park, where you can enjoy Shakespeare in the Park and sit on a bench watching the best sunsets in Cody. Across the parking lot is the impressive Cody branch of the Park County Library and the Paul Stock Aquatic and Recreation Center, which features day passes to access their water slides and pool, hot tub, basketball court, exercise equipment and free weight room, walking track, racquetball courts, and wet steam room. Attractions abound in the near vicinity.

They are happy to provide suggestions for dining, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. Guests can access the entire house and the backyard.
