Rustic Wyoming Lake Cottage with Mountains Views.

Come and enjoy the amazing mountain and lake views from this peaceful property. You can launch your kayak right from the back yard or use the nearby boat launch for your boat or Jet Skis.
Wind surfing is plentiful as we have no shortage of the "Wyoming breezes". Bring your mountain bikes, kayaks, hiking boots, wind surf, or a good book to read while just sitting back and relaxing on the porch.
And take in the amazing views from this property.

The MAIN HOUSE has 1 bed and 1 bath. There are stairs to a loft over the bedroom that could sleep at least 2-3 more. The bedroom has a Queen bed and a clothes bar to hang shirts, 3 shelves
plus, a locker on each side of the bed for storage.

3rd BEDROOM (Guest Cottage)
** See added information added at the bottom of this page.

The LIVING ROOM in the MAIN COTTAGE has a sectional couch, and a TV. There's no Cable TV service, but you can use the included Wi-Fi to stream your favorite shows using your streaming account. Roku is available.
There is a portable Air conditioner in the main cottage, but the mild days, cool evenings and lake breezes keep the house quite comfortable. There is a ceiling fan in the kitchen area and other small fans are available at the property. The home has electric heat.
The KITCHEN has a full-size oven with a flat cook top, a full-size fridge and small microwave. The place is well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, cookie sheets, cake pans. A drip style coffee maker, hand mixer and blender (In case you want to make a Margarita) are provided.
The BATHROOM has a shower only (no tub!), toilet, sink and washer/dryer. Towels and a hair dryer are provided.
Outdoor Gas grill, patio table and chairs.
There's plenty of parking available next to the house for your Vehicles and trailer(s). You will be on dirt/gravel road for about .6 mile right before you arrive to the house. The rest is paved road.

There is public land throughout the area. You can walk the shoreline of the lake. There are wild horses that are often across the road. Be careful, don't get too close.
They are beautiful but wild and don't like it when you get too close.
You may occasionally see a fox, coyote, eagle, a variety of waterfowl and pronghorn (antelope).
Laramie is only 20 miles away. It has several grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, museums, a quaint downtown area with antique and thrift stores and so much more.
There are a lot of hiking and bicycling trails around Laramie and to the east near the Vedauwoo Recreation area and more to the west of Centennial, WY, in the Medicine Bow mountains (ATV trails too).
There is so much to see and do in the area. Contact me with any questions:)
Only a 30-minute drive to the historic town of Centennial, WY and the Snowy Range Scenic Byway where you might see a Moose or two. Stay on that road and then take a right on Hwy 130 to Saratoga, WY, where you can visit the Hot Springs, Brewery or a Restaurant.
Or take a left to Encampment for a tour at the museum or continue on Hwy 230 for more of the scenic drive.

UPDATE:
July 2024, I'm adding the Guest Cottage as an additional bedroom. This Guest Cottage is only for extra guests. I do NOT rent is separately (to other parties). That building is about 20 feet from the main cottage. It has electric but no plumbing. There is a compost toilet (Loo) in a separate room inside
the guest cottage. It has a queen bed, sofa bed (full size) with extra 3" foam mattress topper, a small fridge and some countertop space. It's an additional $80 per night. I've added photos.
You can add this space by contacting me. I have to add it manually.



Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free cottage offers a stereo and games.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful spot
My boys and I really enjoyed this out-of-the-way spot! Everything worked great and more than met our needs. The remote location was exactly what we hoped for and the views were a real treat! Checking in and out and everything in the cabin worked great!

Cozy Cabin with great views!
My family loved staying in this cute cabin for Christmas. My kiddos loved sleeping in the loft and we were so thankful to have so many soft blankets to snuggle up with. It was very handy having the laundry available too! Thank you so much!

Nice little house
The property was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots snd pans. Everything you needed to cook and bake was provided except for ingredients. The owner was very responsive to any information we needed. Our 4 people was made up of one couple and two friends. We were all close to 70 years old. The loft is not designed for older people due to the steepness of the stairs. But it would be great for a couple of kids. I would definitely come back with my girlfriend and maybe bring my grandkids. I highly recommend it.
