We were 2 couples and. found this house to be a great, comfortable and easy place to stay. The house was really clean and had all the dishes, pots and pans and utensils we needed. It was walking distance to most places in town and although some of the time it was pretty cold outside, the house was cozy and warm. The host was a great communicator and we appreciate all the info she gave us!

Our stay at Papa Bear Cottage was enjoyable. The house was comfortable, met the needs of two couples and in close proximity of our activities. The host was very accommodating, helpful with Cody tips, and responsive. One thing to note is that house is located on a main road, so there may be some traffic noise late at night/early in the morning. We would stay here again!

This is a great home located in town. It was perfect for our family. The beds and pillows were the best part of it. We all slept great! We were worried about being on the corner of the street, but we did not hear any traffic noise while sleeping, just when sitting outside in the evenings. Amy was a great host and answered questions right away. I recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in Cody.
