We are located in the South Fork valley just 8 miles from Cody on the South Fork
Highway (U.S.#291), a quick 10 minute commute from town. Our home is a 12-acre
horse property and the former estate of the late Anne McClure, a well liked, and
colorful resident of Cody. Anne designed and built her “dream home”
and incorporated many custom features and amenities, perhaps more amenities than
any other home. The house started out in 1979 as an ordinary 3-bedroom split level
home and under went 10 years of remodeling and new construction. The finished
house boasted an outdoor swimming pool, indoor lap pool, spa, tanning bed, huge
great room with custom made green marble bar, mossy rock fireplace, ceiling mounted
projector for the theater, cherry wood kitchen, dog kennels, and an entire new wing
was added to the house which contained a guest bedroom and new master bedroom/apartment.
Ironically, Anne didn’t get to enjoy the dream house she created for long,
as a severe ”horse wreck”(cowboy lingo for accident) left her unable
to navigate the house’s multiple levels. Your hosts Donna and Brian Lloyd
purchased this property with the intention of opening the house as a bed and breakfast
operation. Remodeling, restoration, and upgrades are ongoing.
Our ranch may be small but our home isn’t. The house has a total of
8,000 square feet of living space with separate guest wing, residential wing, and
common areas of the kitchen, dining area, great room, bar, and theater. The
open floor plan of the common areas give the house more of an atmosphere of a guest
ranch or lodge rather then that of a bed and breakfast. Our plans for this
summer will hopefully include the re-activation of the indoor fitness center.
The redwood-lined complex features an Olympic style 75 foot lap pool, spa, and exercise
area. The house is decorated with Ranch and Mission furniture, Western art, Indian
artifacts, and Western memorabilia. This is not your typical bed and breakfast!
We invite you to share our home and enjoy it’s special features, we’re
comfortable when you make yourself at home. We look forward to meeting you
in person.
Brian and Donna Lloyd
