The Mad Carpenter Inn

We stayed at the Intrigue House last week for a Graduate School reunion. I've stayed at many VBROs and B&Bs over the last five years, and nothing compares to this house. It wasn't just "Nice" it was amazing. Every single detail was thought of, from a fully stocked kitchen, to a modern washer and dryer, the bedding, the layout, the yard. This particular property had some very entertaining "Mysteries". As a DIY guy, I noticed every piece of moulding was perfectly fitted, every light fixture was modern LED but styled to fit the house. Laramie and the University were an easy walk. I also appreciated the owners instructions about noise and parking and that this was a neighborhood and we needed to be respectful of that. (not an issue with my group, but the fact that he was sensitive to that was pretty awesome). Totally a five star experience! Absolutely will stay here next time I'm in Laramie.

What an amazing place! I stayed in The Dollhouse and cannot recommend the house enough. Every detail was thoughtful, beautiful, and designed with love. A nice cozy place for a tired traveler. Lawrence and Danny were kind and welcoming (and make a mean breakfast!) Be sure to check out the garden and game room too. Laramie is a great town to visit and Mad Carpenter Inn seems like the best place to stay! I can’t wait to come back.

Clean wonderful atmosphere. Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The Mad Carpenter is a block from the college campus and nice short walk to downtown. They even were able to provide a map with places to go downtown. Such a great location. The breakfast in the morning was very healthy, with lots of options off the main serving. The hosts were absolute delights to be around. From the wallpaper to the wood work you cannot go wrong with booking a stay. Make sure to check out the game room while you're there. Such a treat.

What a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and cozy we felt very welcome. The breakfast delicious and abudant, the conversation with the hosts and guests just lovely. The attention to detail in the house all the workmanship and the decor was beautifully finished. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone visiting Laramie. 💜

We had the best experience staying here. In a time where so many hotels cut corners and skimp on amenities, this place had it all. The breakfast was second to none, and my family and I played for hours in the game room. Wonderful location, super comfortable rooms, and the kindest, warmest owners. We really enjoyed our time here, and will definitely come back, and recommend this place to everyone coming through Laramie!

The Mad Carpenter Inn is a jewel in Laramie. The proprietors are lovely people who take delight in pampering and getting to know their guests. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful and they were able to easily cater to my gluten allergy. I can’t recommend the inn enough.

This was one of the best bed and breakfast experiences we've had and we have stayed in a lot of them. The booking was a bit out of the ordinary for our current online technology, however, do not let that deter you. We were welcomed and treated so well by Lawrence and Danny. We stayed in the Dollhouse, a separate building that was so comfortable with its own little kitchenette set up. The woodworking that Lawrence has accomplished is breathtaking, along with the stained glass, both in the Dollhouse and in the main house. Breakfast was amazing. Danny made a special gluten free berry crumble for me which was delicious and so kind of her. We would absolutely stay here again.

Could not recommend this place more! Stayed a night in The Dollhouse which is incredibly cozy and quaint with amazing woodwork. Quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was served in the main house which I thought I had missed as I overslept but the owners came to check if I still wanted to eat and served up a delightful buffet. The owners are very nice and welcoming people that were fun and refreshing to talk with, as were the other guests at the breakfast table. Do yourself a favor and make this your top choice next time you're staying in Laramie!

Would be SHOCKED if this isn't the best place to stay in Laramie. Absolutely incredible rate for what you get: I stayed in the Dollhouse (separate from the main house). It was absolutely lovely (small living room/ kitchen area/ bathroom downstairs, bedroom upstairs). Owners were beyond hospitable and permitted me to stay an extra day as I had food poisoning. -complimentary drinks in the fridge -spiral staircase -window AC -TV -tub & walk-in shower

Really cute inn, great walkable location. The owners are super kind and helpful. Breakfast was generous and yummy. Great cozy ambiance + clean!

I have visited Laramie every summer for many years. Decided to avoid hotels this year and stay at a B&B. Mad Carpenter Inn was a fantastic experience! Lovely large older home located about a block off the campus of The University of Wyoming. The owner is a carpenter and did the remodel himself. It's a beautiful older home that I can't begin to describe and do it justice. Go on website and see Lawrence's artistic carpentry. There are 2 B&B bedrooms with private baths in the house. I stayed in the one bedroom cottage located behind the main house. It was called The Dollhouse. This is a one bedroom 2 story cottage with a bedroom and balcony on the 2nd level and up a spiral wooden staircase. Living room, small kitchen and bath with shower and whirlpool tub downstairs. Owners live onsite in the main house. This is a huge house which has 2 apartments they rent out and a huge game room for all to enjoy. The owners prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning. We got to choose when to eat from 7:00 am to 8:30 am. Fresh ground coffee, juice, eggs, sausage assorted breads, pancakes and waffles and much much more. We enjoyed each breakfast with our hosts which was a real treat! Price was less than a local hotel. P.S. There's a neat little university coffee/sandwich shop across the street from the B&B that's open till 6:00 pm daily if you don't want to go too far to eat. Highly recommend this lovely B&B!

The house is stunning in its detail and the proprietors are lovely. Healthy, good quality food for breakfast and lots of nice little touches in the room. It's very close to campus and an easy walk to downtown.

My bridesmaids and I stayed here the night before my wedding (which was in Laramie) and got ready for the event at the Inn. This place could not have been more perfect. It is very picturesque - just what you want, even in a pre-wedding venue. The hosts were extremely accommodating; we had reserved all three rooms for the wedding party and Lawrence and Danny basically gave us the run of the whole place (and put up with our late-night giggling with nary a word). They even let us take over the main space with our hair/makeup/dress tornado as we got ready, and then picked things up for us after we left - even though we promised we would take care of it when we returned! The hosts were super friendly and easy to get a long with; for our wedding nigh, my husband and I stayed in the "The Dollhouse" (it was the perfect private spot - super adorable and romantic). Walking back to the room at about midnight from the venue, however, I found myself starving (as like most brides and despite the advice not to) I hadn't managed to eat any of our wedding dinner. My husband and I snuck into the main kitchen (where we had some leftovers stored) to grab a snack. We were caught by Danny....who proceeded to whip us up a delicious plate to take back to the Dollhouse. The breakfasts were phenomenal - everything you could want in a B&B breakfast and more. Overall I could not have been more pleases with our time here. Stay here. You won't be disappointed!
