Perfect in every detail, thanks so much Liz. Six guys, one of the best we've ever stayed in for our annual fishing trip, and this was our 27th year. Easy breezy great open design, high deck overlooks the river, lots of fresh air and smiles all around. We left a few empty ice cream cartons behind and took off with full tummies and great memories. .

Our stay was amazing! This place had it all! Pictures do not do it justice. The wild life outside your door. Great upper and lower decks with comfortable seating and a fire pit for evening relaxing. Liz was quick to respond to any questions. It was more than I could ask for.

Great Family Center

We lost our son to the River! lol! We were there to celebrate him but the reality we watched him fish from the balcony. To know him and his passion we wouldn’t have asked for anything better. We had 3 families centered there and we all loved it. It was private and personal….perfect for us

As good as it gets!

This property was located on the North Platte river, just outside Casper. My wife, two sons, a nephew and a family friend enjoyed a perfect fly fishing weekend at a wonderful property that could not have been more comfortable. Sparkling clean with every amenity for a large group. The view from the deck is stunning. Perfect for those who have a passion for fly fishing and everything the North Platte has to offer.

Great quiet location

This property is perfect for a family or large group. We had an issue with the keurig and it was fixed immediately! What accommodating hosts. One suggestion, at least one hair dryer. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks for having our family at a difficult time.

Beautiful River Location

Eight anglers found the house to be just perfect for our group. Well provisioned home convenient to our outfitter, fly shop and guides. Platte River Fly Shop did a very professional job of taking care of us from start to finish - very seamless operation. Would highly recommend the home and the outfitter.
