Mill House — Hotel in Lander

My husband and I have driven from Denver through Lander, WY on our way to Jackson Hole, where we visit family. Now that our family has moved on we no longer have reason to go up that way. However we like road trips and having been through Lander before we thought it might be worth making it a destination for a few days.||||As is usual for us, we like to find unique lodging so we chose The Mill House and the Penthouse loft. All the reviews we found by Googling were absolutely positive and so we were.very excited for the visit.||||And the reviews were spot on. We were just delighted as soon as we opened the door and light flooded into the dim stairwell. The space is huge and the decor outstanding. No expense seemed to have been spared. And the open floor plan - one big bedroom/living room with a large kitchen alcove and a simple bathroom off to the side (with a door for privacy) - all-in-all makes great use of the more than adequate space.||||The decor works very well with this historical space and creates something very very unique and desirable. About as upscales as you would find, especially in a very small town. And beyond the Penthouse there are bars and restaurants within a few yards! There is even a wonderful Italian restaurant below should crossing the street be too much : )||||Keep in mind that while the decor is terrific, it is juxtaposed with window views of rooftops, parking lots and traffic. But the comfort and loveliness of this loft style lodging makes window views quite irrelevant except for the always stunning western sunset framed by it’s kitchen window. And then too be prepared for a two and a half story climb to the Penthouse and be advised that the bed is on risers so is a bit of a hop up for short persons like myself.||||You have to book this space if you are staying in Lander. Period. A solid five stars from very experienced road...

We found this place on Airbnb but booked direct with Jill. This was our second night on a 2.5 week road trip, and what a place it is! The whole place looks like it's ready for a photo shoot in an interiors magazine. Jill really has a touch with interior design, as well as the refurbishment of this old mill. It's still obvious what its previous incarnation was, but now with luxury furnishings :-) ||We stayed in the Cottage room, on the ground floor. Super comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, lounge area and access to an outside space. My partner is an architect and spent most of the time taking photos of details around the building! There's a fully equipped kitchen should you need it, but we ate dinner at Cowfish over the road which was great (very friendly, lovely food), and then had breakfast at the Juicery which felt very virtuous but was still very tasty. Lander is a cool...
