Like an HGTV Dream Home

This wonderful, historic home in the fun and funky town of Lander, Wyoming exceeded all of our expectations. It has been lovingly renovated to impeccable standards by a host who should have her own HGTV show. The interiors are fun, comfortable and stylish and very, very CLEAN. Lovely grounds, beautiful neighborhood, short walk to main street. This property is a gem!

Terrific family home

This is our third time staying at this home - terrific location, a few blocks both from the the City park and downtown. Huge yard with games, hot tub, BBQ, outdoor seating, and comfortable space for indoors. The host is very responsive and even came quickly to rescue us when we locked ourselves out. We hope to make this an annual vacation at this home!

Our son's wedding gathering in Lander

We so enjoyed our 4 night stay at Tara's home. It truly felt like "home away from home." The location was perfect for walks to the park, trips up to Sinks Canyon, & early morning walks though the lovely neighborhood. Tara was kind & made us feel very welcome.

Beautifully updated 1938 Montgomery Ward kit home.

This home was historically interesting, and beautifully updated inside. It is spacious -- we were there for a wedding with our three adult children and a grandchild, with everyone comfortable. Tara was a very accommodating host, who communicated promptly, even while away on her own vacation.

Perfect home for our family!

We loved this house, its backyard and proximity to town and playground! Everything was very clean and neat - a welcome place to rest our heads after a long day traveling. The backyard was a big plus for our three kids who loved the play house and trampouline! Our daughter spent hours playing with all of the dolls and doll clothes - heaven for her! We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Thank you so much Tara!

Great stay in Lander

The house was even more lovely than expected. Tara has taken a lot of care with the décor, the furnishings, and the yard. It was very clean and the kitchen had everything you would need to make yourself at home. The location was great. An easy walk to the downtown. Tara was very available and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting this region. Thank you, Tara.

Wonderful home away from home

We had a great stay at Tara's home, which is wonderfully located within walking distance of Lander's downtown, playgrounds, and parks. The home is very comfortable, with all the amenities you'd have in your own home. Sheets, blankets, pillows, kitchen stuff - the home is well stocked and we had everything we needed for our week long stay. The home is large and well-laid out, which allowed our large party (our family of 5, a set of grandparents, and a set of friends) to spread out comfortably. The beautiful back yard and wonderful host were the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

In Lander for a wedding

This is a great VRBO rental. It served all our needs and more. We were a mixed group, 4 Seniors, 2young parents , a 3 yr. old and a 1yr. old. Tara could have not been more helpful showing us what the house had to offer. No complaints. The street is quiet and the yard great for kids to run around in. The next time we are in Lander this is the first place I would try to stay

Over the Top!!

This house was amazing!! We loved everything about it! It had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen with tons of counter space. It was perfect for a large group with plenty of bathrooms to accommodate everyone. We loved the outdoor patio in the back! It was so peaceful with lots of flowers and tons of privacy. The park and river are just down the street and the house is in an adorable part of town. Tara was very accommodating and great to work with. We have stayed at lots of VRBOs and this one was truly one of our favorites! Thanks so much Tara :)

Awesome property!

We had 5 children ages 12 years down to 1 year old. The property was beautifully kept and the fenced in yard was such a blessing to have. Tara was very helpful at check-in and went above and beyond to prepare the property for our arrival a whole day early. The beds were very comfortable and the home was exceptionally clean. Tara was very kind to inform us of the steps in the home and so we were able to bring a tension baby gate. She was more than willing to allow us to use it. The property was close enough to town that we walked everywhere, including the grocery store and the city park. The home is also closely located to Sinks Canyon and the older children were able to go to the top of Sinks Canyon with my husband and back down to the home on their mountain bikes. I would highly recommend this property.
