Perfect stay with Wyoming character

Our stay at Trapper Creek Guest House was perfect: fantastic views in a private setting, comfortable and spacious accommodations--the log cabin has both heritage and modern touches, and great as a base, both to the Bighorn Mountains and to Greybull and Cody and surrounding area. We loved eating at the big plank table on the front porch, looking toward the rock formations and listening to the birds and the creek nearby. Wish we could have stayed there all summer!
