The Property
Year two off the Tulsa line. The original argument, before they refined it.
In 1945, J. Paul Getty told his Tulsa aircraft engineers to stop building planes and start building trailers. The 47 is what year two looked like.
G.R. Schutes — a designer with a national reputation and an apparent weakness for Art Deco — drew the lines. Riveted aluminum shell, porthole windows on the entry door and into the bathroom, ceilings low enough that you'll remember them long after you leave. The Manor was the smallest trailer Spartan built. Twenty-five feet. They weren't trying to make it bigger.
Inside, the restoration kept what mattered and replaced what time had worn through. Birch walls and ceiling, luxury vinyl plank floors, a glass cooktop, pendant lamps, a tufted green velvet sofa, cowhide rug. A full bed dressed properly. A compact bathroom with shower. The space is tight in all the ways a 1947 streamliner is tight — and that's the whole texture of staying here. Pack light.
Outside: a cedar deck, two Adirondacks, a propane grill, and a fire pit. The wetland behind the property belongs mostly to the deer and pheasants who move through it at dusk. The mountains show up when the light is right.
The Compound
The 47 sits alongside her 1956 sister on the same quiet drive, with Bondline across the way — three distinct stays that don't share space. It's a corner of Sheridan that feels removed without actually being far. Downtown is close when you want it. The Big Horns are 45 minutes when you want that instead.

Good to Know
The 47 has a cooktop but no oven and no microwave. The bathroom is compact — designed well, honest about the format. If you're over six feet, you'll feel the ceilings. One full bed, sleeps two. Storage is limited; what fits under the bed handles luggage. Dog-friendly with a pet fee. This is a multi-property setting — you may cross paths with neighbors or other guests.
The 56 next door was built a decade later, when Spartan had figured out what guests wanted. The 47 is earlier than that — closer to the original wager that aircraft-grade aluminum and Art Deco proportions could make something worth sleeping in. It's a different mood. Tighter quarters, lower ceilings, porthole windows that remind you what company built this thing.
Most guests don't come to The 47 for the amenities. They come because there's nowhere else in Wyoming you can fall asleep inside a 1947 streamliner and wake up to pheasants outside the window. The fire pit handles the evenings. The mountains handle the rest.
It's a small space. The people who love it most are the ones who wanted that.
