- King's Saddlery & King Ropes

The Sheridan Inn was built in 1893 and was Buffalo Bill Cody's favorite hotel — he was a part-owner and auditioned performers for his Wild West Show from the hotel's wrap-around porch. The inn hosted US presidents, royalty, and celebrities during the early 1900s. It's still open today as a historic boutique hotel and one of Wyoming's most atmospheric accommodations. Sheridan itself has consistently ranked among the best small towns in the American West.

Moving in Sheridan: FAQ.
Is Sheridan still affordable?
Less than it used to be. Remote-work migration and ranching-lifestyle buyers have pushed median home prices up significantly since 2020. Still, compared to Jackson WY or Bozeman MT, Sheridan offers a better value. The trade-off is extreme remoteness — Billings MT (2 hours) is the nearest city with a major airport, and winter isolation can be significant.
