River Cottage #1 near North Platte and Hot Springs

The location is great. Home had all the basics. It is dated but has cute fishing decor and could use a new floor in the kitchen. Please have more garbage bags especially during the holidays!! Seemed short on forks. We loved our stay and will be back!!

We had a pleasant place to stay from which to enjoy Saratoga. We also had an opportunity to enjoy each other.

The location was perfect - just a couple of blocks to the Hobo Pools and a few steps to the river. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We do not understand why everyone has given this house an Exceptional rating. It was serviceable. The interior was clean and it is close to the hot springs but that isn’t enough for such a high rating. We arrived to a front yard with flower pots of dead flowers and weeds. When we went in, we noticed the screen door was about 2 inches above the door threshold so we did not leave the door open at any time due to the exposure to the outside. There are no screens on the living room windows so you have to slide up the lower part of the window, insert an expandable screen in just the right place, then lower the window onto it. To close the window, you reverse the process. The bathroom was small and there was no countertop space to put toiletries. The shower is tiny. A large person would hit the sides while bathing. The wooden outside deck was a bit spongy in places. The table and chairs were so dirty I had to clean them before we could use them. Rain had spattered dirt off the deck onto the siding many times and there were slight traces of mold. The wifi was spotty. The first day we were there it took minutes to open anything and since we were there on business, that was a problem. I tried again the second day and the speed was better. We have stayed in VRBOs from Naples, FL, to Homer, AK, to Rome and this house was definitely not exceptional.
