BUY A SINGLEWIDE: If you'd like to build equity by becoming a singlewide
mobile home
owner, watch this website for trailers that we offer FOR SALE. If needed, we offer OWNER FINANCING.
Reasonable and negotiable down payments and monthly payments are available. We can often make your combined
mobile home payment and
lot rent fee add up to what you'd otherwise be paying in rent. Better yet, you will OWN your home free and clear in as
little as 4 years.
MANAGEMENT: Brenda Jo Cox manages Rivers Bend and lives on-site. She can be reached by calling 307-587-9089. Showings are performed
after you make an appointment with Brenda.
LOCATION: Half mile north of Cody off Highway 120 along the north bank of the Shoshone River.
Turn left on 2ABW just after crossing the Shoshone River bridge (Highway 120). 2ABW then runs you back
under the bridge and into the park.
GENERAL INFO: Rivers Bend is a 32-unit community located on 5 wooded acres along the Shoshone River.
Deer graze on the property each night and the river next to the park has earned the highest rating for
fishing: Blue Ribbon 5. One, two and three bedroom units are offered. The rental dwellings include 16
singlewide trailers (600-1280 square feet), 7 log cabins (280-992 square feet) and one doublewide
trailer (1430 square feet). Eight tenant-owned singlewide trailers
are also on the property on rented lots. The community also offers rental storage space for tenants.
AMENITIES: Rivers Bend has laundry facilities, childrens playground, several storage buildings, large park-like common areas, multiple picnic
tables and is located along the heavily-wooded Shoshone River conveniently located one half mile north of Cody. Deer graze on the property daily.
Tenants enjoy a five acre wooded nature trail next to Rivers Bend that provides peaceful pathways through the woods and along the river.
Rivers Bend residents can also access the city's two-mile paved riverwalk trail located just across the river from the Rivers Bend community.
This trail follows the other bank of the Shoshone River. Both trails provide opportunities to see deer, beavers, bald eagles and on rare occassions, moose or black bear.
PETS: We love dogs and cats but unfortunately, they don't always treat our dwellings with equal love so we are
extremely selective about what pets we allow. When we purchased the park, it had a no-dog policy and we have maintained
that until recently. We will consider accepting your dog if it is
well-trained, does not bark, is spayed or nuetered and lives inside. This consideration is for long-time house
dogs only. No puppies. We also occassionally approve cats if they are spayed or nuetered and stay inside.
Dogs and cats require an additional $200 deposit. If you want an animal companion that does not require an
additional deposit, we do allow fish, hamsters and birds.
LEASE: We require a minimum of a 12-month lease. We've found that this makes our community more stable and
pleasant. In some cases you can earn a rent deduction if you sign a longer lease. We do enforce the lease however,
so you must fulfill the term of the lease once you sign it. In the case of unexpected emergencies that require you
to break the lease, we might negotiate a settlement. This type of case is extremely rare and each case is decided at
our sole discretion.
PRICING: Rivers Bend offers some of the lowest rents in the entire Cody area yet provides quality homes in
the best rental location in Cody. Rents range from $345 - $675 per month and security deposits range $300 - $500.
The average rent in the park is about $425. The average security deposit is $300.
UTILITIES: Utilities are based on your usage and are payable in addition to rent. The park
bills you for all your utilities except for natural gas which must be placed in your name and is
billed to you by Energy West. Rivers Bend bills you directly for electric, water, septic and garbage.
The average utility cost for park residents is below:
ELECTRIC: $20-$50 per month (metered based on your usage) WATER: $20-$25 per month (metered based on your usage) SEPTIC: $20 per month (fixed cost) GARBAGE: $15 per month (fixed cost) NATURAL GAS: $20-$30 per month in summer, $50-$90 per month in winter (metered based on your usage). To get natural gas in your name when you're approved as a tenant, call Energy West at 307-587-4281 and ask for Cindy. A deposit may be required.

APPLICATION PROCESS: We must protect our investment and the well-being of our current tenants, so not
just anyone can live here. Applicants must undergo a screening process to verify they have no drug, crime or
serious credit problems and will be a good neighbor to the rest of our tenants. If you are approved as a tenant,
this process will make you feel secure that your new community will remain pleasant for you. The application
process includes a discussion with our park manager and completing a two-page application. The application
includes asking your permission to conduct a background criminal investigation, credit check and your
authorization for us to speak to your past landlords and current references. This process is usually
conducted within 48 hours of our receipt of your completed application.
OWNERSHIP: Rivers Bend Mobile Home Park is owned by Pioneer Properties, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company owned by
Cody residents Mike & Margie Johnson. The Johnson's can be reached at 307-527-7017.
OWNER'S PHILOSOPHY: Low rents don't have to mean low quality! Mike & Margie purchased the park in
January, 2003 and have invested over $200,000 to improve the dwellings' comfort and appearance. The owners
have created a pleasant community that has a no-drug, crime or domestic dispute policy and has an attentive
on-site manager to keep it that way. If you live in one of our rentals and have a maintenance issue, it will be repaired with a
sense of urgency. We realize there are many rental choices in the marketplace so we show our
appreciation to tenants by providing an affordable and constantly improving rental community. We respect you and
appreciate your business!
