Comfortable Passive-Solar 3-Bedroom Earth-Bearmed House In Quiet Area Near U.W.
This comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, solar electric house is located on the north edge of Laramie, nestled into the hillside in a quiet neighborhood with shared open space and paved green-belt trail just up the hill for walking, running or biking. From the top of the hill, you can see the Snowy Range to the west, the Laramie Range to the east, and the mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park to the south. With its 360 degree views, this is a great place for viewing sunsets or sunrises and watching the weather. The xeriscape landscaping looks good year-round. A 2-car garage and driveway provides off-street parking in addition to the two street spaces. Inside, the fully equipped, recently updated kitchen and large dining area provide the opportunity to cook up great meals and save money by dining in. The living room is furnished with a couch, two chairs and a rocker, and has large, south-facing windows for a sunny, warm atmosphere and nice view. Of the three bedrooms, one contains a king size bed and two contain queen size beds. The large guest bathroom with tiled shower and full tub is across the hall mid-way between the two guest bedrooms. The master suite has a comfortable love seat with a lamp for reading and a desk for more serious tasks. The master bath/shower and toilet are separated from the sink area so two people can use the space at the same time. This bedroom also has a large walk-in closet and sliding glass doors out to the small fenced dog kennel. The artwork hung throughout the house is original watercolor by Cheyenne artist Carleen S. Williams (1913-2013). Ames Place is 1.2 miles from the U.W. Art Museum and Arena Auditorium and 1.4 miles from War Memorial Stadium. Albany County Fairgrounds is only 4.5 miles away if you're here for the Jubilee Days rodeo or the Snowy Range Music Festival. This is a great place to stay if you're in Laramie to enjoy cultural events or attend basketball or football games and want a quiet retreat after the excitement.

We have stayed at this house many times, and it is always a pleasure. It is spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable visit to Laramie!
My coworkers and I stayed here during our work trip and it definitely felt like home away from home. Clean, quiet, and spacious! Loved the neighborhood and everything about this place!
This was perfect for us with the three bedrooms for 4 adults and two children. After a busy day, we were able to relax and enjoy a movie together (ET), which the grandchildren had never seen. It was nice to lounge in the morning and make breakfast and coffee before another big day at the Geology museum, Volleyball match, and UW football game. Comfortable beds, great layout, clean, easy access to everything, good parking, and very relaxing. Host communication was excellent. The review required us to rate skiing experience, though we did not go skiing. I’m sure it would have been great as we have done that many times at the Snowy Range ski area. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in Laramie for a weekend with our family to view the campus and go to a football game. Perfect location and such a great fully functional kitchen where we made breakfast and lunch. Teresa was wonderful - met us and gave us the tour of the house and also pointers on where to go and things to do. A great stay all around!
The house is comfortable and has a great set up for families, with two bathrooms, a big dining table and great kitchen set up. Located in a quiet neighborhood. The host was really nice and responsive to any questions and needs we had. We will definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the home which was comfortable and very nice with all of our needs met there, and also convenient to town and restaurants in Laramie. Thanks for the welcome and check-in.
We were in Laramie visiting family. The host met us and walked us through the property. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Check out instructions were clear and easy. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Clean property! We have stayed in the past and it meets all our needs!
We packed kids cots and there was pleanty of room for all the adult and kids to spread out and still have privacy.
Easy to get back and forth feom the game without alot of hassel.
Highly recommend!
This is a unique property. Roomier than anticipated. Set off the street quite a ways, so a bit of a trek up the front sidewalk. We were pleased that we could pull around back to have entry through the garage, as well as more parking, as parking out front is limited. Great paved path and views out the back door and a little hike up the hill. Very clean. Owners were very easy to work with and responsive to all of my questions.We had our puppy with us and she enjoyed the little dog run off the main bedroom.
It is a little bit older home but is spacious and comfortable. It is in a nice quiet area within minutes of everywhere we needed to go. Back alley to garage was washed out making garage inaccessible but front parking works fine for single car. Pricing wasn’t much higher than the decent hotels in town and you get the comforts and space of home, which is nice when when planning to stay more than just one night.
This was a great place to stay and had everything we needed to accommodate our needs including wheelchair access and our 2 dogs. It was very clean. We loved the small dog run off the master that was very handy. The alley which was where the wheelchair access was from had some big ruts due to heavy rain and we ended up parking in front of the house and having my husband drive down in his power wheelchair, to spare the stress on lowered wheelchair van. Great place to stay!
The host was outstanding and made us feel at home. They were extremely responsive. The property was outstanding, and ee plan on staying there again the next time we visit Laramie.
