About this property

Governor's Home (Historic Property)

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 town for a 90th birthday celebration. From check-in to check out, everything was amazing! This is a beautiful home with lots of space to spread out. The kitchen is well-appointed with everything you need. The little touches throughout the house were wonderful. We loved sitting on the sunporch, drinking our coffee in the mornings! Thank you, Marc and Mary for everything.

Governor's Home stay

This home was a pleasure. All amenities were available and the home was nice a clean. There are many labels around the home on what to touch and not touch. Given the history of the home, it is understandable. The location is nice and quiet location.

Fantastic House!

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!

Great small gathering place

My mom and I met my West coast siblings at this halfway point. The house was well equipped for visiting, with a very well appointed kitchen. Check in was super easy, and while I think many might come here for the proximity to the Capitol offices, this was a lovely location for a relaxing get away (I even flipped over a few couch cushions looking for the brand to order, they were huge and comfy). Cheyenne is an easy town to navigate to get groceries, etc. Walks through the downtown area and some window shopping were good recreation and the we did get to see the Cheyenne light up for the holidays. We had a lovely stay!

NARGS Conference at the Cheyenne Botanical Center

For our visit to the Cheyenne Botanical Center the Governor's Home was excellent. The kitchen is very well stocked. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfy. The living areas and dining room are very comfortable and relaxing. Though we gravitated to the front porch. A great place to hang out and chat.

Perfect for CFD!

We had an amazing stay with my family and friends from Florida! Very convenient ride or bike ride to Frontier Park. Walking distance to the parade, and easy to get to downtown and other hiking / nature attractions around Cheyenne. The house accommodated our large group very comfortably and everyone enjoyed it! Highly recommended!
