Carter house : 100 year old house with a remodeled castle inspired feel.
The Carter house has a lot of charm and character. Gas lanterns adorn either side of the beautiful front door, upon entering you are greeted with elegance beginning with a crystal chandelier that drops through the ceiling from the cozy library upstairs. The main floor has a TV area with a big sectional, dining table, gas fireplace, full size kitchen, bathroom, laundry and kids bunk room. Sleeps 7 comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms each room having its own private entrance. To get upstairs you ascend the beautiful spiral staircase entering a bedroom with its own private bathroom & coffee bar which leads to the private deck with a gas fireplace. This room has lots of great character, a beautiful rain shower built of brick and stone, and two double doors that lead to the library. The curved library makes for a very cozy and relaxing reading area with lots of books. A great place to enjoy your coffee and listen to old records. If you descend the spiral staircase you enter the other bedroom. Through the kitchen you can enter the shared courtyard where there is a water fountain and lilacs that bloom in the spring.
Our stay at The Carter House was very comfortable! The house was very clean and had all the kitchen amenities needed. We loved the location as it was a 5 min walk to shopping and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.
The house was very nice and clean. Check-in was smooth also. We didn't have quite enough sleeping space so 2 people slept on the couch which was less than perfect, but it worked. The museum across the street was a surprise bonus. Very enjoyable. Overall a very pleasant experience.
I had a really great time at the Carter house with my group!! The host was incredibly kind and helpful and responded very quickly to all my messages. The house was incredibly beautiful and looked even better in person than it did in the photos. So many incredible paintings, sculptures, and antiques in the home. If you ever travel to Gillette, I would highly recommend staying at the Carter House!!
Brother was just transferred to Gillette for work. Wanted to visit and decided to turn it into a Family trip.We went to Devils Tower and MT Rushmore. A great time was had by all!!
the property is interesting. The home was spotless with a well-appointed kitchen. this is a block from the main street and great food options. The mattresses are very very very firm are made a full night's sleep difficult for my family.
the furnishings are very comfy, and the antiques were frun to look at. We would go back.
We stayed at this property while visiting relatives in town. It was very spacious and had all the amenities of home. We took advantage of the grill one night and even sat out by the outdoor fireplace on the deck when the weather was cooperating. It is a very beautiful house and it was wonderful to celebrate Easter there with our baby girl and family.
What a beautiful home! Truly felt like staying in a castle. So glad we stayed at this property for my sonâs wedding. The house was very charming and comfortable, with plenty of room for a family or group. Wish we couldâve enjoyed the fire pit on the rooftop patio, but December in Gillette is a little chilly for that. Maybe next time! :)
The home was stunning with antiques in amazing shape. Loved the chandelier when we fist came it, the master bedroom is so open and relaxing with a side library and a deck with a gas fireplace that we thoroughly enjoyed. The family dining table was perfect for us. We enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs and bbq chicken off of the gas grill cleverly hidden under the deck stairs. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The coffee samples were yummy and more coffee beans can be picked up at the antique shop, restaurant and museum just across the street. They left us a couple museum mugs, the coffee beans, snacks as a gift which was so very kind. Thank you. We appreciate all the little touches to make our stay memorable! We loved the museum and gift shop where you can purchase the mugs, the towels that are provided in the house and other keepsakes, as well as antiques.
Overall GREAT experience and we made great memories there. We will utilize this home again if we head that way again!
I recently stayed at this amazing rental and I must say it was a fun experience. The property was well-maintained and exactly as described in the listing. The hosts were extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was within walking distance to Main Street and the owners provided guest passes to the Frontier Auto Museum, what an amazing surprise! I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for an enjoyable getaway.
We celebrated our daughterâs high school graduation and the venue was amazing!! We had a great space to accommodate all our guests and had very many compliments of the venue. The Carter House has 3 floors and a balcony with a gas fire pit along with a small courtyard allowing for many places for family and friends to gather. This was the perfect setup for our party and it would make a great place for a family gathering.
The overall look and style of the house is very nicely done, vintage decor and look and feel of an original 100 year old house, weather was perfect. It is located in an older part of town but is without walking distance to shops and restaurants in the downtown area, 2 blocks or so away, and the relic museum across the street is worth checking out
This home is full of charm and practicality. Had everything we needed and was close to restaurants and shopping. Will definitely stay here again next time.
This Castle is as beautiful on the outside as the inside. We had a large group and plenty of room. We rented both [properties, and enjoyed the firepits, fireplace, courtyard, and Domistic wild neighborhood bunnies!
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Carter House. It is very spacious and we especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and courtyard. Furniture was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had the necessary cookware, dishes and appliances. Itâs a very nice place to stay for a few days.
Our stay was wonderful! So many lovely details, from the decor to the luxe bed linens. The host provided fliers for local attractions and thought of everything we might need. Loved that often used items were labeled by drawer to make things easy to find. Loved the charming rooftop seating area. We will definitely stay again next time weâre in town.
We are Gillette natives; we own Frontier Auto Museum and love preserving history. We have started our vacation rentals based on that love for preserving the past. These properties all have a special story and place in the community, and we wanted to keep it alive. The houses are decorated period correct and all have fun and unique features. We hope you can enjoy these unique homes and also make your way to the museum for a full experience!
We are located in the original downtown Gillette filled with lots of character and only a couple blocks away from our historic downtown. You will find locally owned shops, restaurants and attractions all within walking distance.
This home was moved into its current location in 1910. It was the home of the local doctor and his family. It has changed many hands over the years and in the early 2000's Nick Carter started remodeling the house to preserve its rich history. He made it what it is today. There is a photobook in the Livingroom that captures his hard work and process of construction. Nick passed away in 2020. Our goal was to preserve what Nick had done and worked with his family to allow the home to be enjoyed by many.
