Dalton Goodyear · Sep 6, 2024 · 7 min read The scissors were sitting on the table by the door, still wrapped in their plastic sleeve. Someone had set a candle beside them — sage and pine, the kind that smells like driving through the Bighorns with the windows down. Outside, Coffeen Avenue was doing its usual Friday-afternoon thing. Inside, the room was filling up. Chamber Ambassadors in their vests, neighbors from down the street, a few friends who'd been hearing about this idea for months and wanted to see it become real. The kava was poured. The food was out. Someone had propped the front door open because Sheridan in September still feels like summer if you catch it right. September 6, 2024. Wyo Stays cut the ribbon. The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce was there to make it official. The candles were lit. The Pearl — the first property in the collection — was open and ready for its first guests. > Sheridan deserved a locally-owned vacation rental company that operated like a real business — not a listing aggregator running on autopilot from another state. ## How Wyo Stays Came to Be in Sheridan Wyoming Dalton Goodyear started hosting guests in Sheridan County in 2017. By 2020, that experience had crystallized into something bigger. He founded Wyo Stays with a simple conviction: Sheridan deserved someone who'd answer the phone at 10 p.m. when the furnace acts up. Someone who'd know which trail to recommend and which restaurant just changed its hours. Goodyear built Wyo Stays as a licensed, insured Wyoming vacation rental brokerage. Joining the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce on September 6, 2024 wasn't a marketing move. It was a statement of intent. ## The Launch Day — September 6, 2024 The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors lined up: Gail Symons, Jim Schellinger, Jack Wood, Yvonne Swanson, and Nick Cordingly. Dalton Goodyear stood in the middle. The ribbon came down. Nakamal served kava drinks. [Olha's Market](https://olhas.com/) provided the food. [Wyo Candle Co.](https://wyocandleco.com/) handled the atmosphere. Three local businesses. One launch party. The whole thing felt like Sheridan. ## The Pearl — Where Wyo Stays Begins Every collection starts with one property, and for Wyo Stays, that property is The Pearl. It sits within walking distance of Main Street Sheridan — close enough to stroll to the Mint Bar, grab dinner at Le Rêve, or wander into Black Tooth Brewing for a pint. Inside, The Pearl is elevated without being pretentious. Wyoming-specific aesthetic — not themed, not costume-y, just genuine. You can [Book The Pearl direct](https://book.wyostays.com/wyostays/property/2wJ1w41e6XAtOmxyTsMp?tid=wyostays) — no channel fees. ## What Launch Day Meant for Sheridan Wyoming Sheridan Media ran coverage the following week, and SheridanWyoming.com published a feature. In a city the size of Sheridan, a Chamber ribbon cutting isn't just a photo op. It's a public declaration of intent. The town showed up. Because Sheridan does that. ## What's Next for Wyo Stays in Sheridan County Since that September afternoon, the collection has grown.
