About this house rental
Steps away from Wyoming's beautiful gold domed capitol building, Governor's Home served as the official residence of Wyoming's governor in the 1930's and is registered in The National Register of Historic Places. The home is well preserved with original hardwood floors and vintage style throughout. The 3500 sq foot property has recently been refurnished to ensure comfort whilst retaining its vintage style offering four bed rooms and a spacious living room, dining room and a modern, well equipped kitchen. Each bedroom is complete with a SmartTV and high speed wireless internet is available throughout the property. Central to all that Cheyenne has to offer, one can reach the Capitol building, Wyoming's State Museum , Supreme Court and the Cheyenne Regional Medical center within a short 5 - 10 minutes walk. Walk a further 5 - 10 minutes and you'll find Cheyenne's historic downtown, vibrant restaurant, brewery and bar scene, boutique shops as well numerous museums celebrating Wyoming's western heritage. Head in the opposite direction from the Governor's home, and within 20 -25 minutes find yourself at Lion's park, Cheyenne's world famous Botanical garden, Frontier Day's famous Rodeo and Concert facilities and the Frontier days old west museum.

We were in Wyoming for the App State/Wyoming football game (a game that App should have won...Ugh!). We found the Governor's Home on VRBO and decided to stay in Cheyenne instead of Laramie. This house was "fantastic." It’s like stepping back in time with all the modern conveniences. It was very comfortable for the 7 of us. Plenty of room and only a short walk to the Capital Building. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

A beautiful home in a terrific neighborhood convenient to downtown. The house for its age is well maintained with the exception of some upgrades needed in the bathrooms. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

The house is very large, a cool older home and well appointed. The neighborhood is wonderful and full of historic homes and it's a quick walk to the capitol. Our host was very good with communications and made sure we had everything we needed. We would love to return again.

The former governor’s home is quite lovely. The kitchen is very well equipped and up to date. It is a short walk over to the capital and beyond to the historic train depot. The neighborhood is quiet, and our host was attentive.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in this lovely old home. It was immaculately clean and well-stocked. It is located right up the street from the downtown section of Cheyenne. It was very quiet and that made for 3 great nights of sleep. Marc, the owner, was very responsive, even driving 45 minutes to replace a dead battery in a smoke detector. I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking the best of experiences.

We stayed here with my parents and our 3, 5 and 7 year olds for a short family get together. The house was perfect and the hosts were extremely responsive to any and all questions. The location is ideal - right by the capital and a short walk from lots of restaurants, shopping, museums. My kids all cried when we had to leave because they loved the house so much! Thanks for a great mini vacation.

4 couples spent 3 nights. Lots of room to spread out. Electronic entry made it handy with so many of us-didn’t have to worry about who had the key! Centrally located in Cheyenne
Host manager was very quick to respond to our request for more paper towels.
Would rent this house again and definitely recommend it for groups!

Family Visit for Memorial
We recently stayed at the Governor's house for a long weekend in Cheyenne. Family from across the country came to celebrate my father after his passing and scatter his ashes on our family property outside of Cheyenne. The house was a great home base for our family to gather. 6 of us stayed in the house, and we hosted several meals for 15+ people, using the great back yard set up to eat, chat, and gather in the warm weather. The location was great, easy to get anywhere in the city as well as get out of the house to go for a walk. We were glad to have air conditioning in the 90 degree heat. The house was clean, well appointed for cooking, and comfortable for gathering. We look forward to staying at the Governor's house again.

My family & I met in Cheyenne for my grandmother’s funeral. The location of this home was perfect! It was so clean, had everything we needed, and allowed us to be together during this difficult time, while still having our own space. Loved everything about our stay at the Governors Home!
