Gratitude, 1920 Victorian, Downtown

Gratitude is a restored 1920 Victorian on Residence Hill, four blocks from Main Street in Sheridan, Wyoming. Six bedrooms. Five and a half baths. Twelve sleep in real beds; fifteen with the daybed and sofa. Two fireplaces, a covered deck, and a long table.

The house is named for Kally Klose, who started a December 26th letter-writing tradition that became the spine of this whole place. Every guest finds a desk, a pen, and a stack of cards. Most write one before they leave. Some write three.

The six named rooms are Bunkhouse, Fortress, Sanctuary, Timberline, Refuge, and Paintbrush, each 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.

A 1920 Victorian with the bones intact and the systems brand-new — roof, siding, furnace, central air, finished basement, two gas fireplaces, and hardwood throughout the main floor. Built for a family at the turn of the last century and still doing exactly that. Twelve sleep in real beds; fifteen with the daybed and sofa.

The house sits 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 front; the porch faces the morning sun. Off-street parking for two in the attached garage, a little overflow in the gated driveway, and street parking for the rest.

The Six Rooms
Refuge — 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.

Fortress — queen bed, en-suite bath, a reading chair by the window, charming fireplace ( Renovation pending)

Bunkhouse — Log queen bed, with an extra sleeper futon in the closet, as well as this room features "Campsite," our charming tent closet for the kiddos to spend a little time. Horse decor! Full en-suite bath!

Timberline — Two twin beds with east-facing windows, with charming northern light accents, paired with some lap desks for breakfast or writing. No en-suite bath for this room.

Paintbrush — Two charming twin beds, an east-facing window,s and a charming writing desk. No en-suite bath for this room.

Sanctuary — Main level room with a king bed and a full en-suite bathroom, with the family room (The Parlor) just outside the door. The cool, dark room for the light sleeper, the elderly, or the teenager who wants a floor of their own.

Twelve sleep comfortably across the house in beds; the Bunkhouse flexes the count higher for families traveling with little ones, as well as some roll away or couch space available.

The Rest of the House
Kitchen — full chef's kitchen with island seating, gas range, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator. Salt, olive oil, and sharp knives already stocked. Coffee, tea, filters 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 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.

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.
