Convenient & a Value!!
The Big Bear Lodge was convenient, staff was efficient, and room was clean and large. The property is well cared for but a bit dated. Still, a great value and right next to the Rodeo Facilities!!

Great Western themed Motel & Cabins
Great Western themed motel and cabins. Family owned and run. Free horse and carriage rides around the property in the evenings, and live musicians on weekends. The staff is amazing, friendly, and always available to guests, 24/7.
We had a great stay, convenient, quiet!

Great, stay in Cody.
We were traveling through to Yellowstone. This is great proximity to the park while enjoying all of the amenities that Cody has to offer. The hotel is charming, has a wonderful swimming pool and there was live music on the hotel grounds in the evening.

Great time in Cody.
Hotel provided an excellent affordable stay near Yellowstone. Hotel has a pool and laundry facilities. Staff friendly and efficient. Hotel has unique experiences including a horse and buggy ride and a singer who sang to the tenants in a nightly concert. Also 2 folding luggage racks in our room which even 5 Star Hotels do not provide more than 1. Overall, kudos overall.
