Your home is the foundation of your life. It is your space. Your sanctuary. Your security. It is where you love your family, hatch your dreams, display your cherished keepsakes. You should love your home.
At Rivers Bend, your home is nestled on five wooded acres along the Shoshone River. Peaceful, quiet, away from the things of man, yet still conveniently located in Cody city limits. With our freshly-updated mobile homes and log cabins, you have your own space. No sharing walls, floors or ceilings like apartments. You are a minute away from peaceful trails that meander through woods and meadows. Deer graze right in our park, while bald eagles fly overhead. Blue-ribbon-5 fishing surrounds our community, the highest rating outside Yellowstone National Park.
No worries about having bad neighbors here. We adhere to a no-drug, no-crime, no-drama policy. We have an attentive, onsite community manager to keep it that way and to keep the common areas attractive and the roads maintained.
Our family has owned this community over 20 years. We are always improving the dwellings and infrastructure. We treat our residents right. Perhaps you have experienced the pain of having a landlord who did not. It makes a big difference when life throws you an unexpected challenge. We work with residents during these challenges as long as they provide a reasonable, specific plan and do what they promise. Many landlords are not so flexible.
If you are a responsible pet owner, we accept well-behaved animals after approval.
If this environment matches what you would like to experience and you think you would be a good neighbor to our other residents, please view our vacancies and contact our manager for a showing.

PETS: We love dogs and cats but unfortunately, they don’t always treat our dwellings with equal love so we are selective about what pets we allow. We will consider accepting your dog if it is well-trained, does not bark, is spayed or neutered and lives inside. This consideration is for long-time house dogs only. No puppies. We also might approve your cat if it is spayed or neutered.
