*Guest access* The cottage is completely private - it's a stand-alone, single-family home. The entrance pathway has two stairs. The home itself is single level with no stairs.
*Other things to note* There is free off-street parking in the driveway on the west side of the house. The driveway can accommodate one car or two cars if you're willing to double-park. There is free street parking along Harney Street in front of the house. Please note that Harney Street and 15th Streets are two of the busier arterial roads in Laramie, so traffic noise will increase during the morning and evening.
One of the highlights of this rental is its fantastic location. You'll find yourself just: - 5 blocks from the University of Wyoming - 10 blocks from War Memorial Stadium (20 minute walk to football games!) - 1 mile from Safeway grocery store - 1.5 miles from Downtown Laramie
For nature enthusiasts, Laramie offers an abundance of outdoor activities.

Thank you for your stay! We're so glad you found our home to be clean, well-equipped, and conveniently located. We hope to host you in Laramie again.
The house was clean and the host was available at all times. The attention to the details and cleanliness is what will bring us back to this place next time we visit! We will be back! I think it is important to note that it is on the corner of two busy roads near the college. It is not inside a neighborhood.
