About this property
The Cottage with Spectacular Sceneries
Windmill Inn is nestled in the breathtaking Wapiti Valley, known for its dramatic rock formations and stunning natural beauty. Teddy Roosevelt once called this stretch of highway “the most scenic 52 miles in America.” Conveniently located just 30 miles from Yellowstone National Park and 20 miles from Cody, Wyoming, our inn provides the perfect base for adventure.
From here, you can explore Yellowstone, visit the world-class Buffalo Bill Center of the West, go whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking, hunting, or experience the excitement of Cody’s nightly rodeos. We also offer private guided tours of Yellowstone and the surrounding area through our tour company, Grub Steak Expeditions.
Our charming one-bedroom cottage offers all the comforts of home, featuring a cozy king-sized log bed, private bath, air conditioning, and a well-equipped kitchenette with a refrigerator. Relax on your private deck, fire up the barbecue, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Set on 50 acres adjacent to public lands, Windmill Inn provides plenty of space to roam and take in Wyoming’s rugged beauty.
Important Details:
• Two-night minimum stay
• Adults only (no children allowed)
• Available exclusively as part of a package with a private Grub Steak Expeditions tour
