About this property

Hollyhock House on Fort

***Photos updated 12/2025***

Thank you for looking at our vacation rental! This home is a full time vacation home and we are local to Buffalo, so we are typically available if you have any issues or concerns during your stay. Our full time jobs are in the hospitality industry, so vacation rentals have been right up our alley. We take pride in providing you a clean and comfortable home, and are always finding new ways to improve!

We are proud to be one of the few approved short term rentals within the city limits. This property is available for up to three week stays.

Enjoy this perfectly located home in the heart of Buffalo! A rare opportunity to stay in a home just walking distance from downtown Buffalo. Unique of other downtown locations, you can enjoy the convenience of off street parking while staying close to the historic area.

This open concept home has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and underwent a kitchen remodel in 2020 and a bedroom, living remodel in 2021, and basement update in 2025.

The upgraded kitchen does not spare any small details. From the granite counters to modern appliances, you will feel at home! Quality matching dishes, cups, and utensils are provided as well as pots, pans and bake ware. Other items provided include a crock pot, hand mixer, blender, and wine and cocktail glasses. Basic spices and cooking supplies are provided for your convenience. The kitchen island seats four and also doubles as a baking center, buffet, or work space.

The coffee bar boasts a variety of coffees in case you forgot your own! A single cup and full coffee pot is provided as well as a hot water electric tea kettle.

The two upstairs bedrooms are located off the kitchen and are very spacious, including a closet, dresser, and back out curtains in each. Comfortable linens are provided. Bedroom 1 has a king bed and plenty of space for a pack ‘n’ play if needed. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed.

The spacious upstairs bathroom has a deep tub/shower and lots of storage space. Towels and basic toiletries are provided.

The dining area connects the kitchen to the living room. The dining table seats 5 comfortably, along with the additional seating at the island.

The living room has a television with a Roku and basic cable, and the home is supplied with unlimited wifi! A mini split in the dining area cools the kitchen and living room. Additional window AC units are provided in the upstairs bedrooms. The enclosed porch is a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a good book, as it can be closed off from the rest of the home. It also overlooks the downtown area, if you’re lucky, you might catch a local parade or fireworks!

The third bedroom is located in the newly updated basement. The stairs to the basement are located off the entry way and the third bedroom is more suited for older kids, teenagers, or adults, rather than young children. The third bedroom has two queen beds, two dressers and wardrobe units, and a pull out privacy curtain between the two beds.

Laundry is located on the basement level along with a unique half bath with a privacy curtain. It is interesting, but handy in a pinch. There is also a large storage area if needed.

Plenty of baby and children’s toys and books are stored in the basement storage area. A high chair and pack ‘n’ play are also provided. Additional baby items may be available upon request to make your trip easier! (bathtub, baby gate, etc.). We are happy to set these up for you before your arrival!

The detached garage is mainly used for storage, and a bit small to fit any vehicles.

The home is located at the base of the Bighorn Mountains on scenic Highway 16 for easy access to all of your outdoor adventures. Just a short drive and you’re up the mountain spotting the majestic wildlife or hiking up the many trails. Just a few short steps out the front door and you are in the downtown area. This home truly offers easy access to everything Buffalo. Buffalo is such a friendly and historic town that we love and know you will too. Lots of local magazines and pamphlets are provided of the local attractions.

Pets are welcome at an additional $40 per night/per pet, limit 2 pets. There is a fenced yard. Please notify us if you will be bringing a pet/s at booking. Please also review our pet policy before booking.

We are available as needed, but will respect your privacy.

The home is located off a main street with street parking, however, there is plenty of parking behind the house and will even fit a small trailer or camper. Picnic table seating is located in the backyard with a grill. We welcome hunters and the garage is available if needed

Beautiful home and best chocolate chip cookies ever!

We had a wonderful stay at the Hollyhock house! Beds and furniture were very comfy, the house was sparkling clean, and a very well stocked kitchen. Our dog loved the fenced yard, and we loved the homemade chocolate chip cookies left for us. The location was great, you can walk to all the restaurants, shops and a grocery store. We highly recommend this VRBO!

Perfect!

This was one of the best VRBO’s I’ve ever stayed in with family! We have a 10 month old baby and a 5 year old- the host already had the travel crib, high chair, and toys ready to go for them when we walked through the door! So clean, so comfy, adequate amenities like towels and dishes for us all!

Great Christmas getaway

My family of 5 traveled to Wyoming from Florida and stayed at the Fort Street house. It was the perfect place for us to explore the area and enjoy the cold weather and snow in the Bighorns. The house was decorated for Christmas, which was wonderful, and had everything we needed for our stay. The family all agreed that it was one of the best vacation rentals we've stayed at. Beds were comfortable, everything was in working order, and Jennifer was quick to reply and easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place

We enjoyed the down home feel. The experience turned out even better than expected. The kitchen was fully stocked plenty of towels, paper towels and things you forgot to pack. The basement is a work in progress but was still nice. Jennifer was always friendly and kind great hostess. Definitely staying there again just a walking distance from downtown.

Excellent stay

We came with 4 adults for a funeral service and this house was perfect. So much better than booking hotel rooms. We had everything we needed and more. It was a block away from the grocery store, right by downtown and easy to walk or get wherever we needed. Thank you for a great stay!

Comfortable home, close to everything

We really enjoyed our stay here! The kitchen was huge and awesome to cook in. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. My 3 year granddaughter enjoyed sleeping downstairs where all the toys were located. This home is close to a grocery store (1 1/2 blocks!), the city park/pool and the historic downtown. Also just a short drive up the highway to the Bighorn mountains. We would definitely stay here again. The home is clean, homey and comfortable. Dealing with Jennifer was so easy, and she was so gracious in helping with anything we might need. She also had a loaf of homemade banana bread waiting for us upon arrival!

Home away from home

The Holly Hock house was perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. In addition, the extra decorating touches made it very special. Jennifer was more than responsive to the few questions we had. Because it was so close to the shops, I could easily walk down any time I wanted to; I didn't have to be dependent on my husband for transportation! We loved our stay at this house.

Great clean home with everything you need to spend a couple of days exploring Buffalo Wyoming. The main street, museum and trails along the creek are all just blocks away.

Why they chose this property

We love this little house. We purchased the home with the intent of of using it as a vacation rental. The location is perfect... it's within walking distance to downtown Buffalo and just about everything else you need! It's just minutes from the base of the Bighorn Mountains and just 30 minutes from Sheridan. Such a convenient, beautiful location for your trip out West.

What makes this property unique

Located within walking distance to the local free pool, grocery store, ice cream shop, coffee shop, and downtown historic district. The home sits on Highway 16, the scenic by-way to Yellowstone Park. From the front door, you're no more than a 15 minute drive to the boundary of the Big Horn National Forest.
