Ferris Mansion Bed & Breakfast

Stayed here on my way to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2012 and it was lovely. Great hostess and awesome breakfast. Very cool place that is loaded with history. I was able to see the whole place and learned about how it came to its present state. Clean and wonderfully decorated. Lots of thought for guest comfort is evident in all that is available for our use. Plus, its just a beautiful restoration done with lots of love by the family.

We stayed at the Ferris Mansion when we went to Rawlins for Thanksgiving as a surprise to our family. We didn't want to inconvenience anyone with our spontaneous presence! We booked at the Ferris Mansion - just a few blocks away from the relatives. WOW - it was magical! We felt like we were sleeping in our own beds. We had so much fun! Kaye-Marie was such a delight and her breakfast was amazing. Next time we visit - we are definitely staying at the Ferris Mansion!

Our stay at Ferris Mansion was a highlight of our trip. Kaye-Marie is a great host. The place is beautiful, the breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend Ferris Mansion, best deal in Rawlins, WY.

My husband and I stayed at Ferris Mansion on our way from Boise to Omaha. The mansion is beautifully restored and well worth the stay. Kaye-Marie gave us a tour shortly after our arrival and obviously loves the mansion and its history. She also offered us several dining options for our evening meal. We went to the Thai restaurant that she suggested and loved the experience. We would definitely stay at Ferris Mansion again.

What an amazing house and such an interesting history. Wonderful innkeeper! Delicious breakfast! We'd highly recommend it!

My wife and I were staying overnight in Rawlins and after reading reviews of the local hotels and seeing the prices we took a shot on our first BB. The house and rooms are beutiful. Kaye-Marie and her family are very friendly. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. If we ever stay in Rawlins again this will be our first choice.

We had a wonderful time at the Ferris Mansion Bed & Breakfast. My husband and I stayed there for a mini vacation. We will definately be going back for another stay as soon as we are able to get time off again. Thank you for making us feel welcome, Kaye-Marie & Whitney. You both have a gift of making your guests feel at home.

Very nice place that is very well decorated. Operator very nice and knowledgable about house history. Great stay.

My wife and I decided to try the Ferris Mansion last night as an alternative to some of the other lodging in the Rawlins area. Boy, are we glad that we did! I seldom rate a hotel outstanding in even one category, but in my estimation, the Ferris Mansion B & B is outstanding in all of them. This turn-of-the-century mansion has been kept in perfect repair. The innkeepers go to extraordinary lengths to provide a wonderful experience for their guests. We stayed in the Gold Room. The Victorian charm of the room has been retained, but the innkeeper has thoughtfully added cable TV, Internet, individual templerature controls, and plenty of extra outlets for the comfort of the modern traveller. Our room was quiet. I suspect that the rooms have been sound insulated. Our experience was topped off by the "continental breakfast". Let me assure you -- this is no ordinary "cold cereal" continental breakfast! Kaye-Marie (who had become our friend by now) takes pride in providing a homemade breakfast that she prepares herself. Our breakfast included fresh squeezed OJ, blueberry pancakes, a variety of homemade breads and pastries, a delicious quiche-like dish, and a special homemade granola. The Ferris Mansion B&B is a wonderful place. We will definitely be back.

The Ferris Mansion is worth a trip to Rawlins, WY. Kaye-Marie greeted us immediately after we parked in their off-street area. She helped my wife with her luggage, steadied her up the front steps and up the stairs to our room (my wife has a bad hip and almost no night vision). We were then brought ice water and orange juice on a silver tray with crystal glasses, and this was about 10PM when Kaye-Marie had already spent a full day with other guests. The mansion has been restored by Kaye-Marie's parents over a period of 20+ years, and it is magnificent! Breakfast was superb, and we used goldware including gold napkin rings. Probably the best travel experience I've had in many years, and we plan to return (we stayed in the "Blue Room" in a comfortable bed and were treated to a clawfoot bathtub). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The Mansion is beautiful inside and out. The detail is extraordinary. The rooms were very comfortable. Got a wonderful night's sleep. It is evident that that Kaye-Marie and her daughter Whitney love what they do. Kaye-Marie directed us to a wonderful restaurant upon our arrival within walking distance. The breakfast was amazing. It was very nice to have breakfast with the other guests. This is the first time my husband and I have stayed at a B&B and I believe will not be the last since our first experience was so wonderful. You cannot go wrong by choosing to stay at the Ferris Mansion in Rawlins.

You are so welcome. Thanks for taking the time to give us a review. I get to meet new friends everyday. If you come back again, then you are an old friend!

The owners are really nice. We stayed at the blue room, which was really nice on our way back to Denver from the Yellowstone Park. The whole house is beautifully restored, a lot of little details show the love of the owners for their house. Breakfast the next day was fantastic, the other guest were really nice as well and we had a nice chat. Kaye-Marie suggested an alternative way back to Denver so we left the highway and had a spectacular view of the snowy mountains on our way. Thanks a lot, we will certainly come back some day.

My wife and I spent a wonderful night in the Lavender room recently. Kaye-Marie, Janice, and Todd made us feel at home. The hospitality, breakfast, and room were exceptional. Thanks so much for making our stay in Rawlins so memorable! Stefan

We had a wonderful stay and would strongly recommend it to others. The hostess was very delightful and acommodating. Our breakfast was superb! We think the Ferris Mansion was the "fairest" of them all! Mike and Iris Armitage

We have never stayed at a bed and breakfast before but have always wanted to. This was such a great experience and would definately do it again. They were great and the breakfast was wonderful! So fun!

This was a beautiful and historical home. We were pampered in every thoughtful way. The room was so comfortable. The food was soo delicious - especially the homemade granola and sticky buns.Every room was meticulously clean. The owners were so gracious and helpful. This was my sister's first stay in a B&B, and she was so delighted and impressed.

My cousin and I were guests at the Ferris Mansioin on July 6, 2011, and loved every minute in this magnificantly restored mansion. You could tell that the restoration and subsequent upkeep was done with skill, intelligence, and love! Kaye Marie is unbelievably friendly...not the snooty B&B hostess you sometimes encounter. Her sunny, positive manner really enhanced the stay, and the breakfast she prepared was fabulous. I live in Illinois and if I could afford it, I'd go back just to stay there again!

Staying at the Ferris Mansion Bed and Breakfast is a unique and memorable experience! The house is unbelievable in design with rooms refecting the decor and ambience of the Old West. The hosts, the Wilders, make their house your house while you are in Rawlins and it doesn't take long ro realize they love what they do. It is easy to feel not only comfortable but pampered here. Breakfasts in the spacious Victorian dining room are a highlight at the Ferris. Rates are very reasonable. Karen Hickey 1211 Niagara St. Denver CO 80220

the Ferris Mansion was incredible! It was wonderful to see what had been done to this beautiful old home. It was breathtaking, spotless, the room was wonderful, the breakfast was delicious. We couldn't have stayed in a better place. Kaye-Marie was friendly, funny and charming! We really enjoyed visiting with her. This was the BEST B&B we have ever stayed in. IF I was ever to go to Wyoming again I would absolutley stay at the Ferris Mansion!!!! It was a joy to meet Kay-Maries mom because she put so much of her heart and creativity into this beautiful home. I wish we could have stayed longer!!! Dixe from Everett, WA.

I would plan my next trip so that I could stay there again. The innkeepers have truely preserved the victorian feel of the home and yet have provided updates like WiFi, surge protected outlets and flat screen tv. The breakfast was healthy with a few high carb items. The table was set with gold siverware, peroid plates, and an old toaster that younger people will not recognize.

excellent example of preserving americas history and the passage of time. Thanks for all you efforts a very enjoyable weekend

Rawlins is my hometown and when we travel to see my parents, daughter and grandchildren, and my brother and wife, we will always stay with Kaye-Marie and Whitney at one of the most beautiful places you will ever see! Being from Rawlins I have known Kaye-Marie and her mother and the rest of the family for many years and when her mother and father started renovating the mansion in the seventies, I never expected such a beautiful place existed! My wife and I stay in the "blueroom" and look forward to the great breakfast that Whitney and Kaye-Marie prepare! A must stay in Rawlins!

One of the highlights of our vacation trip to WYO-CO-UT in September was an overnight in Rawlins at the Ferris Mansion B&B. Staying at a B&B can sometimes be a marginal experience but we cannot say enough about Kaye-Marie's hospitality. Upon arrival she gave us a guided tour. The room was well appointed and spotless - breakfast was enough to last until supper! 5-Stars........

Back in my hometown for a visit, I checked into the Ferris Mansion B&B on the spur of the moment, mostly from an old desire to see the inside. Kaye-Marie showed me around the meticulously-restored rooms and allowed me to select one. Waking up in the aptly-named Gold Room to a golden Wyoming dawn and sipping delicious coffee on the front porch were highlights of my trip! Kay-Marie makes a mouthwatering cinnamon bread to go with her breakfast served family-style in the beautiful old dining room. She has an album of "before the renovation" photos which will make any visitor appreciate her family's remarkable labor of love. Don't miss the opportunity to combine history, charm, and some Western hospitality into a memorable stay at the Mansion! While you're at it, check out the Carbon County Museum and the Old State Penitentiary for some authentic Western history. They're both within several blocks from the Mansion.

Oh I just loved this place! On our way to San Francisco from our wedding in Estes Park, CO, we stayed in Rawlins, WY. Upon reading of our honeymoon, Kaye-Marie, the owner of the b&b, offered a nicely-discounted room rate for our one night's stay. I booked immediately! Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted and Kaye-Marie offered up any vacant room for the quoted price. This is the best bang you're going to get for your buck in the U.S.. My husband and I stayed in the extremely spacious Rose Room. Parking is plentiful, and the area is very quiet. Breakfast in the morning was super delicious - if you stay here look for the sticky buns that are baked fresh daily! There were other options, too, such as granola and fruit, a type of brioche French toast, and more. Also, this place is gorgeous! There are so many lovely details, from the wall paper trim to the gold flatware. You will definitely want to bring your camera. Also, Kaye-Marie is very willing to chat about the place - it's quite obvious she loves what she does. I highly recommend staying the night here if you're traveling through on I-80. Too, it's just down from the Wyoming Frontier Prison, which is now a museum.

Outstanding B&B, the bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Kaye-Marie and family were AWESOME! Not to speak of the ultra delicious breakfast..Wow...wish I stopped through Rawlins more often...way to go, Ferris Mansion B&B! :)

My husband and I stayed at the Ferris Mansion on our way back to Colorado from Yellowstone. As a patron of many B&Bs in New England, I can say without hesitation that this was a truly outstanding experience! The home is rich in history, magnificently restored, and decorated beautifully. Breakfast was delicious and we could not have asked for more gracious hospitality. Having seen most of the other options for staying in Rawlins, I cannot imagine why one would pass up the opportunity to visit the Ferris Mansion. I only wish it were closer to home!!!

We found the Ferris Mansion on the "Around Me" application on our i-phone when we made an unexpected visit to Rawlins. What a fun experience it was to stay in this beautifully restored mansion! We were able to choose our favorite room, which was difficult because all were lovely. The owner, Kaye-Marie, spent time telling about the restoration and history of the home. Be sure to view the binders in the living room illustrating the restoration process and the history of the first home owner, Julia Ferris. Breakfast was delicious with many choices - fresh fruit, egg souffle, granola, breads, milk and juice, etc. We have stayed at many bread and breakfasts and we think this is the best yet! It is within walking distance of an excellent restaurant and the old penitentiary, an interesting tour.

Kaye-Marie was a wonderful hostess and was very generous with her historical information about the mansion. I could not believe how much attention was paid to every inch of the home with the painting, the stone in-lay, the pristine decorations---I felt like I was jolted right back into 1903. Kaye-Marie and her mother have created a comfortable, affordable, immaculate place to rest. Thank you! Randa Webb and Erin Alvarez

Travel to Rawlins was accentuated with a lovely stay at this lovely mansion. We were graciously welcomed by Kaye-Marie and daughters. The accommodations were charming and provided all the creature comforts we were used to. Breakfast was scrumptious on vintage china and crystal. A real treat in an unsuspecting location! Many thanks! J & B from Oklahoma

My husband and I stayed at Ferris Mansion for our anniversary in July. Neither of us had ever stayed at a B & B before, so we had nothing to compare our stay to. However, after staying at Ferris Mansion....we feel all other B & B's will pale in comparison. We enjoyed EVERYTHING about our stay at Ferris Mansion. The room was wonderful, the history was interesting, the food was absolutely delicious, and our conversations with Kaye-Marie and her daughters were just an added bonus!! If ever in the area again....we'll definitely put a stay at Ferris Mansion on our agenda. I advise anyone who has an opportunity to stay at Ferris Mansion to definitely do so! The Catlins

We were traveling from visiting our daughter in Butte to see our son in Denver. Spent a night at Ferris Mansion. everyone was so nice and every thing was wonderful. It made our trip all the more special. we highly recommend it!

This B & B was a pleasant surprise. We arrived quite late and were treated exceedingly well by the daughter of the owner. There was some hassel with our booking that was completely the fault of the booking agency. The young lady at the reception was fabulous and sorted out the problem for us. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the morning was great. Totally recommend this B & B.

When I we stay at a B&B we look for those that offer all of the amenties of a good hotel, such as wireless connectivity, etc. but we also want a comfortable welcoming environmenmt, a good breakfast, quallty, cleanliness and consistency, and people who see us as more than "paying guests"-- Ferris Mansion exceeds each of these--if were to plan a trip across Wyoming, we'd plan it so we could once again stay at the Ferris Mansion--

Enjoyed our stay at the Ferris Mansion due to the delightful hospitality of the owners and the outstanding accommodations. They prepare a delicious, homemade breakfast served in a lovely dining room. The house and the furnishings are wonderful to see and the room's amenities are top-notch, down to the smallest details. Even having access to a computer was an added bonus after being on the road so long without one. Highly recommend this outstanding establishment to anyone traveling in the area and worth while going out of one's way to stay there. Also enjoyed sitting on the front porch's swing reading my book and seeing the deer next door. Sure beats out the typical motel and I certainly got my money's worth for the night's stay. The innkeepers want to please you and they succeed. :) Janice, Hollywood, Florida
