Peaceful property
My Story is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet location. The home is nicely furnished, we spent a lot of time on the deck listening to the creek around the fireplace. It’s perfect for furry family members too- lots of grassy area! We look forward to staying at My Story again.

The bathrooms were listed incorrectly the master bath is bath only not shower only.Would have liked to have better communication on the heating instructions had to figure it out in our own.Pretty property had everything you could think of except toilet paper both bathrooms had only a small amount of tissue left. Contacted “owner” ( do not think this was the owner believe it was a property manager) only response was should be some well wasn’t any so had to drive back into Sheridan to get some. The art work I main bathroom really not suitable for young children Nice place just a few things that really could be improved on

Lovely home in the woods
We all were very pleased with the Story house. A magical place inside and out. The only thing missing was a hair dryer which, for us, was no big deal. The home is beautifully furnished and everything worked great. A great place for anyone looking to escape suburbia in the Bighorns.

Story stay
After a good travel day, we arrived early evening to our vacation destiny only to find it not cleaned, beds dirty, garbage in the house. We were lucky that my wife found a neighbor who knew a contact that we could communicate our dilemma, it wasn’t Dalton Goodyear, have never spoken to him. We ended up getting put in a double wide trailer, with one bathroom and a creaky door about a mile away. It got us out of a bind, but nowhere near the quality of home we had originally paid for, plus the extra hassle of unpacking and repacking once the property was cleaned. We got a small compensation, less than value of one nights stay.

So peaceful!
We celebrated our 30th anniversary and this cabin in Story was the perfect mix of peaceful and relaxing while still close to all the things we wanted to do in the mountains. I was pleasantly surprised by how private the cabin was. We crossed a creek to get into the property (driveway is quite hidden) and there’s another tiny creek on the backside of the cabin. It was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine out by the fire. One morning a beautiful doe came walking up just 15 feet from the deck. 😊
The cabin itself was clean and had all the amenities we wanted. We had a coffee pot, espresso machine, French press, and a tea pot. Loved the options! There are books everywhere. And the large copper tub was divine!! It is managed by Wyo Stays but they were very responsive and helpful.
We also loved the quaint restaurants in Story with their outdoor seating so we could bring our dog. We were up in the mountains for day hikes and came down each evening to a warm bed, cozy fire, and sounds of nature. Exactly what we wanted. Will stay again!

This is an amazing property. A stream runs a few feet behind the deck and you cross a larger creek to enter the property. Huge beautiful trees, park like yard, and rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer chasing each other around. Very quiet and private.

Great Bighorn Mountain Stay in Story
My brothers and our spouses enjoyed a great 4 days at this very cool mountain home. The description of sleeping arrangements was a bit confusing as we never did find the full/double bed that was listed.There were also a few essentials missing (dish washing and dw detergent most notably) but all were available at the local store in Story.
The title says it all. Extra relaxing and comfortable. We checked out the Wagon Box restaurant. Now that is a hidden gem. Story was our perfect get away from the Sturgis Rally.

Charming cabin by a babbling brook
Beautiful find nestled by a running stream and lovely town. Close to Buffalo, WY but secluded enough for a getaway. Quirky and charming cottage with interesting decor and art. Amazing massive brass bathtub and so many unique things to see in the space.
Very pretty property, and we had deer come right up to the house! Great experience for our family and kid friendly.
