Come stay at this darling cozy cottage right on the creek.

If you’re coming through Sheridan, grab this chance to stay in an updated and inviting riverside cottage on Big Goose Creek. If you’re traveling solo or with a few others, this property offers a quiet, park-like, private setting. It is centrally located in the community situated two blocks from Kendrick Park and six blocks from downtown.

It has the feel of a more rural setting thanks to the many large trees on the banks of Big Goose Creek, which runs right through the back yard--about 15 feet out the back door.

When you first come inside, you are greeted by a sunbathed living room decorated with vibrant furniture arranged around the bay window. There are a few books and pamphlets about the area in the hutch across the room . The living room is the heart of this rental, spanning approximately 14X18 feet. The sliding glass door at the end goes straight to the adjacent deck.

The u-shaped kitchen area is fully equipped with the appliances and utensils you need to whip up a home-cooked meal while you’re on the road. Meals can be taken at the high-top table in the kitchen, which has large windows on two sides that overlook the creek. If you have a few guests, the dining area at the far end of the living room can extend out to seat six people. The deck over the creek is nice for a morning cup of coffee, or drinks, dinner, late night conversations,in the company of ducks.

Looking back toward the inside of the house from the breakfast corner, you’ll see a narrow hallway. The doorways are precisely 24 inches wide, the walls 30".

The kitchen and bathroom are newly remodeled for comfort and space efficiency. You’ll find new windows through the main floor of the house.

The compact bathroom is stocked with a starter supply of toiletries. The showerhead is fitted with a chlorine filter, so you might notice improved hair and skin health after a few rinses.

The bedroom is set up with comfort and convenience in mind. Jet-setters and globetrotters will find the staple suitcase stand, dresser, chair, bathrobe, iron and board. If you get cold there is an extra blanket in the closet. If you get warm there will be an air conditioner in the window. These are installed only when outside temperatures are high. In the summer this part of Wyoming has a slight breeze that makes for cool nights that are more appreciated when windows are open at night and closed during the day.

The sleeping room in the basement is very cozy, cool in summer warm in winter. On-site laundry is also in the basement.

The upper level of this house has very small but adequate kitchen, a large bedroom/sitting/eating room, a bedroom with 2 twin beds and a bath. The two floors can be rented singly or together. If rented separately there is no way to know if you will be having a neighbor going up and down stairs. however the stairs are not noisy.

The owner hopes you have the best possible stay. Your comments and participation in the Welcome Book is much appreciated. The house is always a work in progress.
