AO Ranch- Pet friendly, Private retreat, Unobstructed mountain views

The AO Ranch built in 2021 is nestled on 88 acres against Sheep Mountain and only about 35 minutes from the East Entrance of Yellowstone. This gorgeous home has an elaborate cabin feel. The exterior aesthetic accentuates the surrounding mountain views with the large patio area, rock work, and log beams. Winter & Spring Travel Notice: Cody offers plenty to enjoy year-round! Please note that Yellowstone's East Entrance and most park roads are closed to regular vehicle traffic from November 1, 2025 through May 1, 2026. During winter (December 15–mid-March, weather permitting), access is available only by guided snowcoach or snowmobile tours.

When you enter the home, you are greeted with an open floor plan. There is a dining area with plenty of space for six individuals. Just across the way in the spacious kitchen you can enjoy three seats at the island, and stainless-steel appliances. Out the kitchen window one has a gorgeous view of Sheep Mountain. The living area is situated so the family can not only enjoy the spectacular views but can cozy up next to the fireplace in the evening. The house is also adorned with many different animal mounts that are great conversation pieces and also add to the nature feel of the home. Down the hall you will find the master bedroom featuring a king bed, and a large, attached master bath. The master bath has a double vanity for plenty of space, a soaking tub with magnificent views, and a beautiful tile walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms in the home both have queen beds and share a Jack and Jill bathroom. This shared bathroom has a large vanity area, and a tub/shower combo. There is also a half bath in the hallway. Need to do some laundry while on vacation? Take full advantage of the roomy laundry room with washer/dryer, ironing board and folding area. There are 5 televisions in the property: living room, bedrooms, and an outdoor patio television. The two-car garage is accessible for guest use. The AO Ranch is the perfect home away from home while visiting the Cody/Yellowstone area and looking for the rustic yet modern cabin experience.

AO Ranch is beautiful, quiet, comfortable, peaceful & has the most beautiful sunrises! My husband & I hoped to see wildlife around the house but it was the wrong time of year for that. It was in a convenient location to get to Yellowstone daily where the bears, wolves, coyotes & bison were easily located. I spent most of my downtime sitting on the patio watching the beautiful views. This home has everything anyone could need & could easily & comfortably accommodate 6 - 8. This is not a negative but want to note that if you fly into Bozeman it’s a 4 hour drive to AO. I would highly recommend AO!

Can’t say enough good things. The house itself was new and spotless. I’ve stayed in a lot of rentals and this by far felt the most homey and had the most little amenities. We’re already hoping to be back!

Loved the property, inside and out!

The property is conveniently located between Cody and Yellowstone. We were able to easily go into Yellowstone for three days of our stay. The rest of the time we rode horses at a nearby ranch, rafted on Shoshone River out of Cody, attended the Cody rodeo, shopped, and ate. The property had everything we needed, even bear spray and binoculars! The place was a little tricky to find, since the address marker was hidden by a bush. However, a quick turn around and we found it from the other direction. Our family of five would definitely stay here again!

Incredible Stay - Pictures don't do it justice

Driving up to the AO Ranch is amazing. First the drive revealed wonderful views and the ranch felt private, as the only residences visible were far off in the distance. The pictures are accurate with the exception that the ranch is even better than the photos. The living/dining area with fabulous windows gave a 270 degree view around the house. With binoculars available, we spotted the herd (gang?) of elk far up on the mountainside the first few days and got a view of the pronghorn who wandered by the last couple of days we were there. The Kitchen is well stocked with all you could need to cook your own meals - Cody has a Walmart 25-30 minutes away so food is easily transported when you need it. Beds are comfortable with plenty of space and wonderful bathrooms. The laundry facilities were excellent with modern washer and dryer. Communication with the managing company was also excellent. We called a week ahead and inquired if we could add a day to the beginning of the trip and since it was available, we traveled a day early. So glad we did! Check-in and check-out was seamless. My husband and I and our daughter and son-in-law stayed for a week and visited Yellowstone and Cody and had a most restful time relaxing in this marvelous home. We are already trying to find time to return.

Perfect in every way. No dissatisfaction, as advertised

There were 7 in our family. This property is complete in every way, from a well appointed kitchen with drinks and foodstuffs to modern appliances and comfortable furniture. The scenery, the new beautiful construction, the easy access to Cody and Yellowstone, you want for nothing. Truly a wonderful vacation experience for our family.

Gorgeous cabin and property!

We had a wonderful time and absolutely loved the cabin!! We spent a lot of time in Yellowstone and also drove to Jackson and the Tetons one day. The only complaint at all was directions finding it the sign 6 KV road is way off the main highway so we drove way to far. We figured it out n it’s the first road to the left past the water and there’s a big red sign before you turn. Other than that everything was perfect!!

WOW! What a house and what views!

If you want to look out any window of the house or walk out the door and around the house and see the most amazing mountain views, snow capped mountains, rock cliffs and elk in the field below. This is for you. Put on your hiking boots and walk up the mountain just out the door. This is for you. Drive into Cody and enjoy a quaint town and friendly restaurants- this is for you. We will be back!
