I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your week-long stay! I appreciate that you enjoyed our amenities. We hope to host you again.
We really enjoyed our weekend at this lovely home. The house was very clean and uncluttered, beds were comfy, they had games for our 3 year old and everything else we could need. It was hot that weekend and even though there is no central air, the AC unit in the master bedroom kept the whole house cool. Everything we needed was within a 5 minute drive and it was fun to be so close to downtown, with a nice playground across the street.

I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend at our house and that the nearby amenities made things easy for your family. As a note for future guests reading this review, we're testing the portable A/C this year and haven't yet added it to our listing. We plan to place the portable A/C during July and August, the hottest parts of summer, but please contact the host prior to your stay if A/C is important to you during any other months. I'm so glad to hear that it worked well! Thank you for your kind review.
Spent 8 nights here and loved the house and location. Brought the dog so the backyard with fence is nice!! Walked downtown to multiple pet friendly breweries and restaurants. Only 1.2 mile walk across the beautiful University of Wyoming campus. Best lodging value in Laramie.

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.

Thank you so much for your stay! We're so glad you appreciated the cleanliness and details at our home. You are correct that we are on the corner of two arterial streets, which are pictured in our listing if future guests have any questions. We hope to see you again soon!
We enjoyed our week stay in the Harney cottage. The home was so comfortable, from the beds, to the living room. The towels were plentiful. Coffee and espresso cups were in the cupboard. So nice to have. Our Granddaughter graduated from college and it was an easy walk or drive to get to the college. Perry mentioned it was on a busy road, but it was quiet..Perry was in touch with me and when i asked if there was any chance that if an opening came up for three nights we would be happy to take it. It did come up and made our time in Laramie quite nice. We didn’t have to move to a hotel.We will definitely stay there again if we are back in Laramie. Thank you,Regina
Our hostess was very, very helpful and tried to do the best she could at the time. The house was clean. Many things were supplied that we could use, but I feel like the cost we paid was a bit high for having no dishwasher or disposal or or air-conditioning.The fenced in backyard was fine since we have house dogs but it was full of weeds.She did have them cut down a couple of weeks after we got there.She also put in a portable air conditioner in the master bedroom which we could not use until an electrician came to adjust it. Perry was very helpful in getting someone over and was very kind while they fixed the air conditioner. The house is very small, but we managed just fine and enjoyed our stay immensely . Laramie is a great town with many positive features. I would like to give five stars for our service, but I I feel I can only give four. Still, an excellent place to stay, but probably not for a month in the summer. That was our bad.

Mary, thank you for your honest review. We truly appreciated hosting you and are grateful for your kindness during your extended stay. For future guests, our listing accurately reflects that the home does not have a dishwasher, garbage disposal, or central air conditioning, which is common in Laramie's historic neighborhoods. Knowing you were visiting in July, we installed a portable A/C in the primary bedroom before your arrival, and it has worked as expected since our electrician updated the breaker. Our lawn is professionally maintained every two weeks during the summer. The first scheduled mowing was missed because guest-supplied locks confused our contractor; once we were notified 2 days prior to the next service, the yard was serviced promptly. We encourage guests to review our listing for their desired amenities and let us know about any concerns right away so we can resolve them quickly. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and wish you safe travels.
The home was comfortable and very clean. Our time there truly felt like home. Perry was a pleasure to work with . We will definitely be back.
