Description
The house was built in 1920, on a corner where Thurmond meets Kilbourne, in the part of Sheridan everyone here still calls Residence Hill. Six bedrooms. Four and a half baths. Two fireplaces. Hardwood floors that have held a hundred years of footfall and still catch the morning light through the original window casings. A covered deck that runs along the back of the house, where the sun crosses every afternoon and the cottonwoods do their slow work.
We named the house Gratitude after Kally Klose — Lucy's mother — who started the December 26th letter-writing tradition that became the spine of this whole place. Every guest who stays here finds a desk, a pen, a stack of cards, and an invitation to write one thank-you note before they leave. Most do. Some write three.
The house sleeps twelve across six named rooms — Bunkhouse, Fortress, Sanctuary, Timberline, Refuge, and Paintbrush — each one drawn from somewhere real in this country. You're four blocks from Main Street, ten minutes from the Brinton, twenty from the foothills of the Bighorns, and one short driveway from a two-car garage that takes the snow off your morning. Sheridan College, the WYO Theater, King's Saddlery, and the Mint Bar are all walkable. The rodeo grounds and the polo field are a short drive.
The house is fully stocked. The kitchen has the salt and the olive oil and the sharp knives. The baths have the towels stacked and the soap unwrapped. The beds are turned down on arrival.
Our concierge team can arrange a private chef, a Tesla, mid-stay cleaning, grocery pre-stock, kava, massage, or just a quiet ride from the airport. Send us a note. We'd love to make it yours.
You'll leave grateful.
The space
A 1920 Victorian with the bones intact and the systems brand-new — roof, siding, furnace, central air, finished basement, two fireplaces, and hardwood throughout the main floor. Built for a family at the turn of the last century and still doing exactly that. Sleeps 13 in real beds and some
The house is on a 7,353-square-foot corner lot, fully landscaped, partially fenced, on auto-sprinkler so the lawn stays green through the dry weeks of August. The covered deck runs along the back; the front porch faces the morning sun. Off-street parking for two in the attached garage and street parking for the rest.
THE SIX ROOMS
Fortress — the primary suite. King bed, en-suite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, walk-in closet, the best light in the house. Robes in the closet. Blackout curtains for the late sleepers.
Sanctuary — queen bed, en-suite bath, a reading chair by the window and the quietest corner of the upper floor. The room you give to the person who flew the farthest.
Timberline — queen bed, en-suite bath, finished in the colors of the Bighorns in late September. The room with the view of the cottonwood.
Bunkhouse — two custom-built queen-over-queen bunks. Sleeps four, comfortably. The kids' room, the cousins' room, the room where the laughter starts at 11 p.m. and nobody minds.
Refuge — queen bed in the finished basement, with the basement family room just outside the door. The cool, dark room for the light sleeper or the teenager who wants their own floor.
Paintbrush — queen bed, full bath nearby. Named for the Wyoming state flower. South-facing window, hardwood floor, the simplest of the six and a favorite for it.
THE REST OF THE HOUSE
Kitchen — full chef's kitchen with island seating, gas range, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, the salt and olive oil and sharp knives already stocked. Coffee, tea, filters, and a French press on the counter.
Dining room — seats twelve with the leaves in. The room the Christmas card photo gets taken in.
Living room — two seating areas, a spacious couch, a gas fireplace, a smart TV with Netflix and the major streaming apps. Books on the shelves you're welcome to read.
Foyer — original woodwork, a stack of thank-you cards on the entry table, the desk Lucy uses when she writes hers.
Covered deck — outdoor dining for eight, two lounge chairs, the late afternoon sun and the long Wyoming evening.
Garage — attached, two stalls, automatic opener. Bring the truck.

Guest access
You'll have the entire house and yard. Self check-in with a code we'll send the morning of your arrival — no key handoff, no waiting on a host. The covered deck, the yard, and every room in the house are yours to use. The only space not included is the locked owner's closet on the basement level, which holds household supplies. Everything else — , the books, the games, the kitchen, the deck — is on the table.
Other things to note
The house was built in 1920. It's been beautifully updated — new roof, new siding, new furnace, central air, finished basement — but the bones are old, the floors talk a little, and the front door has its own opinion in cold weather. It's part of why you came.
5 of the bedrooms are on the upper floor with a shared stair. If anyone in your group has mobility considerations, the main-floor bedroom (Paintbrush) is your best option.
Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., in line with the neighborhood. Residence Hill is a real residential street and our neighbors are part of why this works.
2-4 parking spaces in front of the garage, additional street parking.
High-speed Wi-Fi in every room. Smart TVs with Netflix and the major streaming apps already logged in.
The gratitude desk in the foyer is real. Pens, cards, stamps, and an invitation. Write one. It changes the week.
Sheridan Write-Night, our occasional letter-writing evening with local authors, is hosted at the house when scheduled. If your stay overlaps with one, we'll let you know and you're welcome to join.
The Supper Club — a quarterly guest-chef dinner where proceeds benefit a local restaurant — runs on select weekends. Ask if you'd like to be added to the seat list.
