Escape to the peaceful beauty of Walking Deer Cabin, perfectly located for exploring the best of the region. Just minutes from world-class fishing, wildlife viewing, birding, and the renowned Buffalo Bill Center of the West, this cozy cabin is also an ideal home base for adventures to the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
Set on a scenic 15-acre property surrounded by mature ash, cottonwood, and pine trees, Walking Deer Cabin is one of three private dwellings on the land, shared with the owners’ homes and bordered by expansive ranches. Guests will enjoy stunning views of the South Fork Valley, Buffalo Bill Reservoir, and surrounding mountain ranges, along with frequent wildlife sightings. It’s not uncommon to see eagles, sandhill cranes, hawks, owls, deer, antelope, and even the occasional coyote right from the property. Bighorn sheep and elk can also be spotted within a short drive.
This well-appointed cabin comfortably sleeps up to four guests and offers year-round comfort with central air conditioning and heat. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances (including a dishwasher), a dining area, and a cozy living space with a smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi. Step outside to enjoy the fresh mountain air on the private deck with outdoor seating or fire up the propane BBQ for an evening cookout. An enclosed garage, Pack-n-Play, and high chair make this cabin especially convenient for families.
Located just 12 miles from downtown Cody and the scenic highway to Yellowstone, Walking Deer Cabin offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility—close to everything, yet peacefully removed from the crowds.
Whether you’re planning a Yellowstone getaway, a Wyoming fishing trip, or a relaxing mountain retreat, Walking Deer Cabin is a welcoming and memorable place to stay.

Excellent
We loved our stay at Walking Deer in Cody Wyoming. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Everything we could possibly need was provided in the cabin and the scenery around the cabin was spectacular. We hope we can return and stay for a longer period of time on our next visit. Sidney & Gwen Russellville Arkansas

Really Nice, Clean Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is in a great location. It's really clean and well-maintained. The owner is friendly and encouraged us to walk around on the property. He gave some great information about where to see animals. The only thing we are not happy about is we had pre-paid for 7 nights however, had to check out a day earlier. We gave several days advance notice of this. Apparently since the property manager felt no obligation to refund for that day, they chose not to do so.

Amazing home
Amazing property and very clean. Far enough out of town to be alone, yet close enough to Cody and Yellowstone for easy travel.
