Papa Bear Dreams
My husband, me and Uncle stayed at Papa Bear May 24-30, 2024 and it was amazing. I had a couple of questions during booking and called Amy; she was right there to help me through them. I addition, she noted if we got into Cody before check in time to call. If the VRBO was available, we'd be able to settle in. That's exactly what happened; it was nice to check in early after an 8 hour drive from Colorado. The corner property location is perfect, we could park our fishing boat with no issues. The house is very nice too! I'm glad we didn't stay in a hotel. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a nice sized kitchen and living room. It was perfect for our group, with another room to spare. The house smelled and looked wonderful too (we girls notice these things, pretty much right away). Equally important was there was a washer and dryer, with a package to run a couple of loads- which was REALLY nice. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook and sit down to have a family meal too- plus a dishwasher. I really loved that the master bath/bedroom door could shut off the rest of the house- we had a snorer. The back yard was pretty and spacious too. We didn't get a chance to BBQ, but will nex time we stay for sure. None of us have stayed in a VRBO in Cody but I would highly recommend Papa Bear, especially over a hotel. Our stay was perfect, in every way possible. Thank you Amy!!!

Charming, Convenient, Clean!
This charming home was perfect for our recent visit to Cody. The living room was perfect for visiting with family and playing cards. It had everything that you could possibly need. We ate out because there are so many great places to eat in Cody. Finally, I have never stayed in a vrbo that was this clean. It was beyond clean. We will definitely stay here again!

Good for families with kids
Two couples stayed in the Papa Bear for 2 nights. Owner very nice and friendly. Livingroom good size and King room was good size with bathroom. Parking was easy. Queen room that we stayed in was smaller than expected and bathroom was outside of room and smaller than we like with lavatory with no countertop space and door wouldn’t lock. Washer and dryer located in master bath which made it awkward doing laundry in other couples bathroom. Entry into house used a keypad and would take 3-4 tries to get deadbolt to work. To tight. I didn’t feel it was right for couples but my wife and the other couple who had the big bedroom said it was ok. Hope this helps.

Yellowstone Family Vacation
House was fantastic. Had everything we needed and more. Beds were very comfortable. Host were very responsive and provided us with current events during our stay in Cody. Would definitely stay in house again and recommend it.
After a busy, busy trip to Yellowstone, our stay was the perfect oasis for a recovery of a hectic schedule. The couches and chairs were comfortable and the beds heavenly

Great Place
5 stars for this property and host. Clean, current and well situated. The only thing, and I have to dive deep is the house is on a major street. But, Cody Wyoming in the winter time is not a problem.
