Breck was an Ivy League educated man who dug out the basement to add the two bedrooms and bath and laundry as his family grew. Nick Patrick, a local native, added much to the charm of the house before it returned to the Moran family. It was purchased by Ann Simpson from Betsy Moran Sartou in April of 2015. It has been lovingly restored, with a new roof, plumbing, electrical , lawn sprinkler system and is in beautiful condition.

In town & quiet location
Three of us and one small dog enjoyed the cabin for an extended weekend. We relaxed on the porch and in the backyard for grilling and hanging out. The interior is beautifully decorated and cozy. We had lots of space as we used both up and downstairs bedrooms. The kitchen is a bit small but equipped with all sorts of gadgets, for the many meals we cooked. One person has an allergy to scented linens and the house was free of any scents. Beautiful old comfy cabin. Would stay again.

Cody trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scouts Rest . Everything was clean and comfortable. Little touches like the complementary bottle of wine and a fruit basket made us feel welcome. We were allowed to use the laundry equipment which was a nice perk.The location is great with only a short drive to restaurants and museums. Our only suggestion would be that the kitchen could use a few more coffee mugs… but that’s pretty minor. Overall it’s a fantastic place 😀

Yellowstone trip
There were 8 adults staying and the home was fine but a little smaller than expected with no real area for us all to hang out. Living room area was small, kitchen area very small, home was built in 1920s so u can hear all the creaks when your trying to sleep downstairs. Only 1 tv. Home would be better suited for smaller groups. But overall it was a fun trip.

The welcome was overwhelming!
The welcome gifts were so thoughtful after a very long drive. It was so nice to walk in to flowers, snacks, wine, fruit, bread and butter…! Also given the state of the world, the fact that our hosts would welcome complete strangers with such warmth made me a bit weepy. I LOVED the care and detail that went into the restoration of the cabin. (The fireplace mantle may have been my favorite feature) I found the house evocative in so many ways. The location was perfect. We found the canal park and enjoyed walking our dog there and exploring the great neighborhood. Many many thanks for such an enjoyable stay.

We were greeted with a large loaf of freshly baked bread with butter on the side. Yummmm. We stayed 5 nights and there was so much to do in Cody that it flew by. The house was just as described and slept well. We were walking distance to everything.

Cody Perfect!!
What can I say about "Scouts Rest"? We loved the cabin. The rich history and feel was just perfect for our stay. If you are looking for a rustic feel while staying in Cody WY, this is the place for you. The Front Porch sitting in the morning drinking coffee (provided) with deer meandering through the front yard. The Fire Place (click a button) was a nice feature on the cooler evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and I'm certain anything we would have needed would be brought to us right away. Ann's amazing fresh baked bread was delicious. Walking down Main Street (one block away) was so easy and convenient. If you are looking for modern amenities (clean lines and tech) keep looking. If you want historic charm and comfort, look no further. We will be back.

Cute rustic cabin
The cabin was in a great location; very rustic with a lot of antiques. Host was easily accessible & owner came to check on us a couple of times. There were fresh flowers, nice fruit basket & bottle of wine when we arrived. No real complaints, but be aware that the bed on main level is very high…not intended for shorter people. The whole cabin could definitely do with a major cleaning.

Amazing cabin!
Oh my goodness...where to start. First of all, the cabin is just adorable! When you first pull up you are just amazed at the sight. But when you go in...wow! We loved how it was decorated. And all the extra touches were so nice....bottle of wine, fresh flowers in various places, books and info about the are, and on and on. It is the most well stocked cabin I have ever stayed in! There literally was nothing that we needed..it was all there. We were a group of 6 women on a girls trip. There were enough beds that we all got our own bed to sleep in while we were there. I was astonished at how big the cabin in as well. There was more than enough room for all of us to hang out together and be comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch as well as on the back patio. That was so very peaceful. A plus for the cabin too, is that it is so close to town. We were able to walk into Cody to shop and eat. Again, we loved the cabin and would definitely stay there again if we come back to Cody!

Comfort in Cody
As a family of 6 we were easily accommodated here. There was a fenced back yard where our kids played lawn games and a couple tables and chairs outside. The location was amazing! We walked to the city park for mini golf, the Buffalo Bill Museum (amazing!), and downtown for shopping and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again! Ann made the process of checking in very easy and was extremely accomodating!
