History meets adventure at this one-of-a-kind retreat in a restored 1920s grocery store — just a 5-minute walk to downtown via the iconic Garfield Street footbridge. The Sheepherder Suite includes the full Burns Market (sleeps 2) plus a vintage-inspired sheep wagon in the private yard (sleeps 2 more) — your own little compound, sleeping four. Curated details, luxury bedding, premium bath products, and locally roasted coffee throughout. This place has a style all its own.
WELCOME TO RAILTOWN RETREAT'S SHEEPHERDER SUITE AT BURNS MARKET — a one-of-a-kind stay for two couples, a small family, or anyone who believes the best adventures include a little style.
This booking includes the full Burns Market — a beautifully restored 1920s grocery store turned 1-bedroom/1-bath retreat — plus exclusive access to The Sheepherder Suite, a vintage-inspired sheep wagon tucked into the private yard, sleeping two more in luxury bedding beneath a canopy of pine and steel.
Think of it as your own little compound: elevated comfort indoors, glamping Wyoming-style just steps away.
THE SHEEPHERDER — YOUR OUTDOOR ROOM
The Sheepherder is a modern spin on a traditional sheep wagon — reimagined as cozy sleeping quarters for two, with all the character and none of the roughing it.
Inside you'll find:
• Full-sized bed with luxury bedding — including Pendleton and Pendleton-inspired blankets, new and vintage
• Seating area
• Pull-out dining table
• Lighting, a fan, and a heater for cool Wyoming nights
• The same elevated amenity approach as the main house
IS THIS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU?
We ask this with a lot of love — and for this particular listing, we mean it more than usual.
If you need climate control at all times, if the word "outdoor" in "outdoor sleeping" gives you pause, if a bathroom that requires a short walk across a private yard sounds like a dealbreaker rather than an adventure, our Tree Area Classic might be a better fit for your group, and we'll happily point you there. It sleeps up to eight — under a *real* roof.
But if you're comfortable with unpredictable Wyoming weather, if you find the idea of sleeping beneath a canopy of pine and steel in a vintage-inspired sheep wagon genuinely exciting, if a cool morning stumble across a string-lit yard for coffee sounds more romantic than inconvenient — then you are exactly who we built this for.
The Sheepherder isn't for everyone. It's not supposed to be. It's for couples who want a story to tell, families who believe the best memories happen slightly outside the comfort zone, and any traveler who thinks a little adventure is the whole point.
A few things worth knowing before you book:
— The Sheepherder doesn't have a private bathroom. Guests walk across the yard to the beautiful full bath inside Burns Market. It's a 30-second walk. Bring a robe and enjoy the stars.
— Wyoming mornings can be crisp. The Sheepherder has a heater and luxury bedding. Still, we recommend checking the forecast and packing a layer—maybe even a sleeping bag and your favorite fleece-and-puffy-down combo.
— The Sheepherder is a cozy space — intentionally so. If you need room to spread out, Burns Market's bedroom is your base.
Still with us? Then you're our kind of people. Now let's talk about what we've put together for you.
COOKING & EATING
The Burns Market's full kitchen is stocked and ready for the whole group:
Olive oil & basic cooking spices
Equipment: utensils, pots/pans, toaster, blender, coffee maker, Chemex, tea kettle, milk frother
Easy mornings: locally roasted coffee, tea, cream, sugar, hot chocolate, organic oats, to-go cups
Light meals: pasta, Rao's marinara, parmesan, soup, and pesto
Afternoon pick-me-ups: protein bars, nuts, chocolate, fresh fruit
Hydration covered: Topo Chico + chilled water
Just a 5-minute walk from some of Laramie's best restaurants, bars, bakeries, and coffee shops — though with a yard this good, you may not make it that far.
RESTING & RELAXING
The main house is built for unwinding. Stretch out on the leather sofa in front of the gas fireplace or claim the suede chaise in the glass-brick window seat and watch trains roll by. Amenities include:
Large-screen TV
Gas fireplace
Vintage Western record collection
Record player with Bluetooth
Books + antique stereoscope
Cozy blankets
Indoor plants
SLEEPING IN
Burns Market's custom-built king — made from materials found on site during the renovation — is topped with a medium-firm mattress, a plush pillow-top cover, premium cotton percale sheets, a linen duvet, and velvet blackout curtains.
The Sheepherder's full-sized bed is dressed in luxury bedding — including a curated mix of new and vintage Pendleton blankets — designed for genuine rest beneath a canopy of pine and steel.
BATHROOM
One full bathroom in Burns Market serves the whole property — plush sheet-sized towels, premium bath products, and extra essentials stocked just in case. The hand-painted mural celebrating West Side culture and history is a guest favorite. Sheepherder guests take a short walk across the private yard to reach it — see our note above.
LAUNDRY
Washer and dryer, detergent, stain remover, iron + ironing board, and a handheld steamer — all available for the group's use.
BACKYARD OASIS
The yard is the heart of this experience. String lights, a pollinator garden, a charcoal grill, a fire pit, and The Sheepherder parked in the corner — it's the kind of outdoor space that turns a night into a memory. Whether it's a slow morning coffee or a late-night fire, the yard is yours.
BRINGING DOGS?
Pets are welcome on a case-by-case basis. Please tell us about your dogs before booking.
Dog bowls, treats, lint roller, waste bags provided
Large, fenced yard + 5-minute walk to a dog park and the river walk
