Big Bear Motel - A family-operated Cody hotel with heated pool, playground, and western entertainment

Located at the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, Big Bear Motel combines rustic charm with outdoor recreation amenities. This 2-star property features an oversized heated outdoor pool (open June through season) and offers free western-style entertainment with live music and horse rides in the evenings. The motel's rooms come equipped with flat-screen cable TVs, free WiFi, private bathrooms, and dedicated seating areas, while select accommodations include patios and outdoor seating spaces. The Big Bear showcases traditional log benches and western decorative accents throughout the property. A 24-hour front desk serves complimentary morning coffee, and guests have access to on-site laundry facilities and a children's playground. Positioned less than a mile from Cody Stampede Rodeo, the property sits within 1.5 miles of Shoshone Canyon and Plains Indian Museum. Yellowstone Regional Airport and Shoshone National Forest are both within 5 miles of the motel.

Pros

Free evening entertainment includes horse rides and live western music

Complimentary morning coffee available at the 24-hour reception

Select rooms feature private patios and outdoor seating areas

Professional property management ensures consistent service standards

Cons

Limited pet-friendly rooms available

Seasonal pool operation restricted to summer months

“For a straightforward stay just outside Cody, this motel emphasizes the essentials. Expect clean, compact rooms equipped with practical amenities like mini-fridges, plus conveniences such as guest laundry facilities; while a bit removed from the town center, the trade-off is often a quieter setting with parking right outside your door.”
