"I stay for the rhythm of the season, for the land, always the land." --Wyoming Poet Laureate and rancher Patricia Frolander

Some of the most beautiful films of all time were shot in Wyoming, home to landscapes that defy imagination. Box office smashes include Dances with Wolves and Brokeback Mountain. Americans have always been an adventurous people, a nation of explorers and pioneers. Perhaps that is why areas like Ranchettes fascinate us. The wide-open spaces and wild mountains beckon, and whether or not we have ever ridden a horse, we harbor a secret attraction to cow-folk. Your move to Ranchettes is more than just a change in location. You are joining a rich heritage of people that forge new paths and lead the way to innovation.

Moving to Ranchettes

There are a limited number of apts for rent in Ranchettes, so if you are looking for an efficiency or one-bedroom apartment, your best chance is to use an apartment locator service and start your search early. There are far more single-family homes available, though competition is still fierce.

On the plus side, your indoor four-footed friends are almost always welcome, and if you have larger animals to house, you are quite likely to find a home with livestock lodging on the premises. Most rental homes require a lease of one year or longer. Expect to provide an application fee, tax information, and possibly a credit check.

With just under 6,000 residents divided into a mere 1,800 households, Ranchettes is a quintessential small western town just outside of Cheyenne, Wyoming. There are no neighborhoods in this western city, but that doesn't mean there aren't still plenty of housing options. If you are heading this way, you are sure to be thrilled when you discover that houses are built on multi-acre lots, and even large homes for rent at an affordable monthly rate. Most of these properties are on the newer side, cutting down on the endless issues that come along with older houses. Newcomers seeking something smaller typically find that locating a rental apartment is difficult, but there are plenty of options in mobile homes if you want a more compact place.

Taking Time Out

What's the sense of living in the Wild West if you don't take some time out for a little rest and relaxation? Though you might imagine that the only cuisine in Wyoming is steak-related, there are actually a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. The Morris House Bistro combines classic American and bistro fare, and the Great Harvest Bread Bowl is perfect for a casual lunch. Be sure to take some of the fresh-baked bread and pastries home with you.
