Stay at the Wheels Up Cottage and experience the beauty of Ever Sky Ranch. Take in the sunrise over the Bighorn Mountains and enjoy the serene sights and sounds of Beaver Creek meandering through the ranch. With 300 acres surrounded by the Bighorn National Forest and vast public land, there is beauty as far as the eye can see. Endless wildlife live around the ranch including mule deer, pronghorn, elk, bald eagles, and numerous other birds to name a few. Truly remote, the stargazing is amazing.
The Space:
The Wheels Up Cottage is nestled in a beautiful private valley, so you’ll drive down a gravel driveway about a mile long. There are a few steps that lead up to both the front porch and back deck. On the main floor you’ll find: a full kitchen, big farmhouse dining room, and spacious living room with a sofa bed, the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub, 2 more bedrooms and another full bathroom. In the basement you'll find a huge bedroom that could be another master or family suite along with a full bath and living area with a sofa bed.
Bedroom 1: King
Bedroom 2: Queen
Bedroom 3: Twin and Loft Twin
Bedroom 4: King and Twin
When you’re not relaxing in the cottage, or out hiking and enjoying the tremendous beauty nearby (we’ll share our favorite off the radar spots), you can head over to play pool or shuffleboard at the “Cowboy Way '' game room in the barn, and enjoy a campfire at night.
Guest Access:
This is a working ranch, so you may see us or our dogs out working. Our home is on the other side of the ranch so if you need anything or would like recommendations, we’ll be available, but you’ll also have complete privacy. There is a large barn on the ranch, and guests are welcome to enjoy the “Cowboy Way” game room on the side of the barn where you’ll find a pool table, shuffleboard, air hockey, and a card/game table. The main area of the barn will be off limits to guests as this is reserved for ranch work.
About the Area:
There is plenty to explore close to the ranch. Check out the Dinosaur Tracksite, take in the unique sights of Devil’s Kitchen, and get the best burger you’ve ever had in our little town’s café. Head a few minutes up the mountain to world-class hiking, fishing, rock climbing, waterfalls, off-road trails, with skiing and snowmobiling in winter. Just between an hour to an hour and a half drive gets you to Thermopolis to take a dip at Hot Springs State Park or to the cowboy town of Cody to watch the nightly rodeo. Other nearby favorites include Bighorn Canyon to see wild horses and bighorn sheep, Sheridan for great shopping, food, and a polo match, or a drive on the Beartooth Highway, named “the most beautiful drive in America.” Or take a day trip to Yellowstone (about a 2 hour drive to the east entrance) and Grand Teton National Park. Each of these trips is a breeze because of the beautiful scenery the entire way!
Other Things to Note:
This is a rural home on a ranch in the middle of gorgeous country. You’ll need a vehicle to get around. Cell service will be spotty, but we do have high speed internet with WiFi calling (unless you truly want to disconnect!). There are cows, horses, and chickens on the property, and they are all generally pretty docile, but please watch children around them and do not feed them. In our town there is a small store and café for some essentials (and the BEST food!), and the next town over (15 minute drive) has groceries and gas, and a great coffee shop!
Pets: One dog up to 50 pounds is allowed with pet fee. Please be responsible with watching your pet both indoors and outdoors. Be aware that there is wildlife in the area as well as our personal dogs and livestock on the ranch.
