Or even snowshoe through the oak, birch, and willow tree filled land as you take a break from reality. Our Buffalo Bill Pass hiking trail is marked with markers throughout to guide your adventure. Finish your day by soaking and relaxing in the 5 person hot tub. Then watch the sky light up with flaming red, orange, and pink rays for a gorgeous sunset.

Cody’s Cowboy Retreat is also great for finding deer sheds and morel mushrooms. Many wildlife have been found on property from deer, turkey, geese, and ducks.

Crawford County is a highly desirable county for bow and gun hunting. Property is available for various hunting seasons including deer, duck, geese, and turkey for a fee. The private hiking trail will not be available during hunting season.

Bring your boat and launch at public boat landing. Lynxville is 3.7 miles from property.

Crawford County is located in southwest Wisconsin in the heart of the unique Driftless Region. This small area that includes portions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois was bypassed by glaciers in the last Ice Age. As a result, the area avoided the flattening effect of glaciers on the land. Glacial runoff created many river valleys, steep hills, and limestone bluffs throughout the region. The county is bordered on the west by the Mississippi River, the Wisconsin River to the south, and the Kickapoo River divides the county north to south.

Whether you bring your family, have a girls weekend, or come with friends you are bound to enjoy some cowboy life.

Codys Ranch makes every effort to provide you a safe and enjoyable experience at the ranch. However, riding horses, being around cattle, horses, dogs and other farm animals, hiking, being around ponds, being in the barn, barnyard and other out-buildings, being around machinery, equipment, and other objects, and participating in activities on the ranch by their very nature include risks of serious injury. Each guest will need to sign a liability release.

No smoking or no e-cigarettes.

Do you have a horse and want to bring your horse? We may be able to accommodate you. Please message to discuss.

Are you an avid road cyclist? We have ideas for riding and possibly may have someone available to cycle with you.

Not what we expected
I missed the part in the listing that this was 'part' of a home that was on the lower level with owner and his 3 dogs living above. They were up all night walking around - even with ear plugs in, it was difficult to sleep as the noise was right above our bedroom. Didn't assign us a security code to get into the home, so had to use the owners - not so secure. 3 big dogs that were let out when we were outdoors. I'm a dog person but I was weary of these 3. 1 of them took my arm in his jaw as we were trying to load our cars to leave. Pretty dusty in the unit as well. Owner was nice, but we wanted a quiet weekend away and not needing to tell him what we were doing/going each day. Won't go back.

Long weekend with the family
Had an amazing long weekend with the family at Cody's Ranch. Between Ed and his stories (Ed is the property manager), the views, the horses, chickens, donkey and cows, getting to feed them, the horse riding lesson, getting to take my son on the ATV on the miles and miles of trails on the property, the campfires and having some fun burning some wood with some branding irons, it was perfect!

Horrible host
Dog doo everywhere. His 3 very large dogs tried to attack my kids several times. They need to be on leashes for sure. Host took my 14yr old on a crazy trail ride with no safty grear. While on trail ride host rode over native American grave sites and then joked about it. He told my 14 that iw he can tell everyone that he drove over 3 dead indians. Host said he was only going to show where trail begins which is 20ft from house. Dog stole one of my wifes shoes host didnt care. So now we are out a pair of shoes. Hot tub was cold. Host went to our fire pit started a fire and then waited at the fire for us to come home . He didnt leave our area until my wife asked if he planned on being there long because we wanted alone time. The whole point of going on a family vacation is to be with family . I would not recommend bringing your family to this place. For the money we paid it was not worth it at all

Very nice property
My husband and I rented this for a quick weekend away. It's in the downstairs of the on-site property manager's home. He was a super kind and helpful man! Very down to earth. We did not use the outdoor amenities but would have in the warmer months. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. It was very relaxing. The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking your own meals. The unit was very clean and very well maintained.

Fun girl's weekend at the Cody Ranch
This year we chose Cody's Ranch for the location of our girl's weekend since we wanted a place we could stay over a few days and relax. This was the perfect spot. The view was beautiful at the top of a hill and especially in mid-October with the fall leaves changing. We loved having the opportunity to walk the property and interact with the animals they have; horse, donkey, chickens, and goats. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and utensils and the hot tub a great way to wind down at night. My family and I highly recommend booking the Cody's Ranch if you're looking for a place out of the way to spend a vacation!

Beautiful Location
We came to the Eastmen area to ride our side -by-sides, and this was a great location right on a County road trail to ride, and the home was beautiful, comfortable and lots of room for our group. Denise was so easy to communicate with and Ed was at the home when we arrived and showed us the living area and around the property. This is the lower level of the house, so there was some noise through the floor from the dogs and others moving into the upper cabin at night, but not horrible. We didn't have much time to explore the property or enjoy the fire pit and outdoor area, but would have been a beautiful area to enjoy a nice evening.

Fabulous!
We had a great time staying at the ranch! Denise organized an Easter Egg Hunt on the trails and wrote a sweet note for our kiddos asking for their help finding the eggs. She put personal touches into our stay and it was so appreciated. Denise and Ed were both helpful and willing to show us around and introduce us to all the animals. The hot tub was a great feature! Having it indoors really helped since the weather wasn’t the best while we were there. Such a great place to visit and relax! Thank you!

We were able to use all the amenities and extras. We collected eggs and deer sheds, used the hot tub daily, rode horses and a donkey, pet the animals, hiked, and rode UTV's with the host. The absolute best vacation!!

Wonderful Stay, 10/10 Recommend
My daughter and I had an amazing trip to this ranch. We would recommend this for any family for needing a relaxing and fun getaway. We loved visiting all the animals: collecting the fresh eggs from the chickens, feeding carrots and bread to the horses, and checking out the new baby cows! Ed and Denise were very helpful and made our stay truly special. They went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our experience. We were able to explore the property on UTVs and hike on the trail--we even found our first deer shed! And after exploring outside it was so amazing to come back to the hot tub to relax. This was a truly unique experience that we will remember for years to come.
