Gateway to Shoshone & Yellowstone

Relax with a cup of coffee taking in the 2nd floor view of the North Fork of Shoshone river valley on your large private deck.

This is a quiet, 2nd floor chalet on a private road next to the Shoshone River. The first floor is the laundry access, not a second rental. The chalet is optimally positioned between the town of Cody and the East Entrance into Yellowstone National Park. Cody is 24 miles east, while Yellowstone is 29.6 miles west.

Activities in the area include trail rides, hiking, rafting, and plenty of open spaces for other outdoor activities like fishing, wildlife viewing and of course rest & relaxation.

Great stay

This is a great location between Cody and Yellowstone with short, scenic drives to both. There is a little gas station just outside of the neighborhood on the main road, which is very handy. I’ve already recommended this place to friends and family.

Great use of space above a garage. Perfect for larger families. Living room and kitchen are small but guests are not likely looking to spend a lot of time inside in a trip to this area. Instead the layout focused on lots of sleeping space. This was perfect for us. One large bedroom with a king and another with a queen plus a twin over full bunk. Close enough to go into Cody for any needs but a little closer to Yellowstone. The drive into the park is a little long but it is a good drive and feels like you’re in the park most of the drive in. It also takes you into the park at the east entrance which has much smaller lines so time in the car could be about the same when you consider the lines at the west entrance.

Great stay!

It was in a great location. If you are looking for a place that’s quiet and not to far from Cody and Yellowstone. There is a state access point to the Shoshoni River just down the street. The beds were comfortable. The household items that were provided were appreciated. It’s a great place to watch the stars.

Location is ideal. Halfway between Yellowstone and Cody. We had some issues with the property, but Nicole and her husband were extremely quick and resolving them. They have it equipped extremely well for long stays including basics needed.

Yellowstone trip with Grandkids

Truly the best VRBO experience we've ever had! The location is peaceful, yet close enough to Yellowstone and Cody that we had tons to do. The apartment was very comfortable and well appointed. We slept 5 (3 adults, 2 kids) easily. The hosts thought of everything we might need on our stay. We felt like we were staying at a friend's house!

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay in Wapiti. The owners are extremely thoughtful - many extras were provided. We loved the tea and honey selection as well as the oatmeal cups. Beds were comfortable and the space was just what we needed. We appreciated the proximity to both Cody and Yellowstone as we needed a mechanic after hitting debris on the highway - luckily the problems were minor. We did have a little trouble getting our clothes dry - the dryer would stop as though finished, but the clothes were still quite damp - the timed dry setting helped with that. We would stay here again, for sure!

On way to Yellowstone

The apt was very well furnished in every way. I would have enjoyed a softer pillow. The pictures in the advertising made it look like it was a stand-alone house--not upstairs over a garage which wasn't great for senior citizens. The password posted for internet connection didn't work and there was no phone number to check with the owner.

3 Generations of Girls

The property was more than expected. The location and views were stunning. There was enough room for the 5 of us to not feel we were on top of each other. There is a nice walk down to the boat launch and the deer are usually resting there in the morning and afternoon. The only thing I would make sure to point out in the description of the property is that there is no oven. But we were able to bake on the grill to complete casserole.

A nice place to stay

The unit was more than adequate and located in a quiet, beautiful place. For the most part it was very clean, but someone had missed the drawers in the bedroom. I found a dead fly and some grit. There was a room AC in the kitchen, but it wasn't enough to cool down the whole unit. Fans were provided and we opened the windows, but the early morning light and clacking of the window blinds were a trade-off to the heat, and the unit was still warm. I would suggest providing another small table and 2 chairs for the deck, as we needed to bring out the stools each meal. The kitchen had a a good supply of dishes and cooking items for our meals. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. Thank you for your hospitality.

Loved It

We had an amazing time at the house and spent lots of time there waiting for Yellowstone to reopen after the flooding closure. We loved the Cody version of Monopoly that was in the closet. Everything was very well prepared and labeled nicely so we could quickly find the things we needed. It was also great to be able to use the laundry facilities. We really felt at home here and would definitely come back. Plenty of other things to do in Cody not the least of which was good old Wal-Mart which was convenient for food and supplies. PS. Yellowstone reopened on our final day and we were able to get in. Thanks to the homeowners for providing this great location and amenities.

Wapiti Vaca Home

The views were great. The wind was "windy" but they prepared for that with a sheltered deck. The property was located between Cody and Yellowstone Park in a quiet safe country neighborhood. The steps were a little tiresome for us....early 70's, but who doesn't need a little exercise. God Bless America the Beautiful!!
