The Trapper Creek Guest House - Shell, Wy, at the foot of Big Horn Mountains.

History Captured in Wyoming Vacation Paradise
The Trapper Guest House is part of the historic Trapper Ranch, established in 1896 and located in the hamlet of Shell, Wyoming – East of Yellowstone National Park and Cody, at the foot of the little known Big Horn Mountains and National Forest. At 4200 feet, The Trapper Ranch is surrounded by breathtaking scenery in all directions. This area was first settled by pioneers in The Shell Valley and home to one of the first guest ranches in the area where famous travelers like Owen Wister, Teddy Roosevelt, Hemmingway, NC Wyeth, Julian Huxley (founder of WWF) and others vacationed. The Guest House is 3-bedroom log cottage build in 1928 and renovated in 2014. The pristine Trapper Creek runs miles through the property and next to The Guest House.

Heaven in Wyoming
Quintessential Wyoming ranch house..spotless, impeccably kept, decorated and supplied. The house and grounds were absolutely gorgeous. Friendly, accommodating and responsive hosts. I can't say enough good things about this experience...other than it was absolutely fantastic and I would book it again in an instant.
