A Walk Around the Cabins

We have been here since early June and one thing Josie hadn't seen was the cabins, so yesterday morning we took a walk to see them. There are 83 of them and they are spread around the rear of the Holiday Inn. I thought I would share a little bit of the history of these cabins, as reported by Judy Blair, one of the Owners:

"They were originally built by Col. "Buffalo Bill" Cody to house the crew he imported to do the infrastructure of the town of Cody. Many of the crew were Mormons from the Salt Lake Area. Col. Cody negotiated with Prophet Brigham Young to bring settlers to this area. These pioneers not only assisted with the building of Cody, but also in bringing water to this area by the creation of the Sidon Canal between Cody and Lovell, WY.

The cabins retain their historic exterior as much as possible. The same hand-hewn logs used in the early 1900's are in service today. The cabins have had considerable upgrades in the inside and now have full bath and private bedrooms (rather than outdoor plumbing, bunk beds built into the walls with a pot belly stove in each). All units include air conditioning and heat, coffee makers, hair dryers, full bath (tub & shower) and a western decor."

Here are some photos of these cabins:





These cabins all come with beautiful, new interiors and are offered in several different configurations: Single with double, queen or king bed, double with two beds, triple and Quads, having up to 4 beds, which are 2 bedroom cabins that share a bathroom. So now, when I refer to the cabins, you have a little better feel for what they are.

Also, all of the cabin customers have access to, and the use of the swimming pool at the Holiday Inn. That nice pool looks like this:

The rest of the morning was a relaxed morning before heading to work. We get to do it again today, although nothing is planned for this morning - except for maybe watching the final round of the PGA golf tournament on TV. Until tomorrow...
