A Great Stay
Wonderful stay at the ranch. Wanda was so friendly and nice. Great assortment of cookware if you want to cook a meal. We made breakfast everyday. She even has a crockpot. The only thing that the place will need in the near future is a new couch. We had fun feeding her horses apples and carrots. Her dog Stoney is adorable. We would love to stay here again. The Bunkhouse is clean and inviting.

Home away from home!
From the moment we first connected with the owners of Heart Strings Ranch, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and invitation that enveloped us like a cozy embrace. Their genuine hospitality radiated through every interaction, igniting a spark of excitement that carried us through our stay, right up to the bittersweet moment of departure. The bunkhouse, a true gem, was meticulously maintained, bursting with thoughtful resources and comforting touches that transformed it into our cherished sanctuary—a true home away from home. Each awakening was a magical gift, as we were greeted by the gentle souls of the horses, their soft whinnies a symphony of joy that filled our hearts. Every evening spent on the covered patio, sharing heartfelt stories and gazing out over the breathtaking landscape, became a beautiful tapestry woven with laughter and connection. This incredible experience at Heart Strings Ranch transcended the ordinary; it left an indelible mark on our souls, making this not just a vacation, but a profound journey of memories we will treasure forever.

Feels like home
We absolutely loved it here! It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Jim and Wanda were the best hosts! They were welcoming and so fun to visit with! Wanda genuinely enjoyed our kids and it made our stay that much better. It was a real treat staying here and we hope to be back in the future.

Our stay at the Heart Strings Ranch was amazing! The views are beautiful, the horses are so beautiful and the people are wonderful. Great place for families or anyone wanting to truly experience life in Wyoming. We would stay here for every trip we made to Wyoming.

Great accommodation
The house was so clean and included everything we needed for cooking meals during our stay. Wanda and Jim are the nicest, most interesting people! And they gave us great ideas of where to explore and things to see, sadly we didn't have time to do them all. Exploring in and around Cody was a great experience. The downtown area and concert in the park and rodeo were highlights of our trip. Driving up Mccullough Peaks and Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and Beartooth mountain...AMAZING!

11 out of 10!
Gracious, accommodating, caring and kind…it was like staying at a family member's property. Wanda was more than willing to go above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met and that we had a great visit. I have used VRBO on many occasions in the past and every other experience pales in comparison to this one!!

Heart Stings Ranch was exactly as described. Everything was just as described! The scenery was beautiful and the hosts and locals were more than willing to share their local knowledge that only locals have! My aging parents loved the serenity and scenery! And the littles loved exploring a real horse ranch!

Great stay about fifteen minutes outside of Cody's Main Street. Great home away from home with all the amenities you want. Like warm showers and good coffee. Extra blankets, pillows and towels. The nature and beauty of what Cody Wyoming is really about. It's a truly beautiful bunk house!

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Everything we needed was there. And don't get me started on our host Wanda! She was truly amazing! Very kind hearted! She was great with our whole family! And I was so thankful for her to take time out of her day and spend it with us! We didn't want to leave for sure! Thanks again!!

Outstanding country living
Everything was perfect. The kitchen had everything you wanted from pots/pans to utensils including two pizza cutters. The living room furniture was very comfortable and my wife especially enjoyed the electric recliner. The location was about 10 miles outside of Cody but was convenient. Our neighbor was a beautiful white horse who looked in on us through the living room window. We found a place to board our dog (Cody bed and biscuit) that was a 10 minute drive from the ranch which allowed us to take a Yellowstone tour. The owner is very nice and made sure everything was ok. Our only regret was that our stay was so short.

What a great place to stay with the type of folks you just don't get to meet every day. Salt of the earth kind of people. They went above and beyond what we expected from this experience. We will definitely be going back soon
