Lives up to the name Treasure Island Homestead!
This is our second time to treasure Island Homestead and it was perfect, again. Peaceful with beautiful views out every window.porches all around for shade any time of day. Move in ready with a full spice rack/pantry. Even jelly beans and cookies. I woke up in the morning early and could almost smell the coffee, biscuits and bacon my grandma used to wake me up with. The place just has that good energy. Walk to the river and fish or just sit by it and listen. If you have any questions about the area or just need anything, Jeff is there and answers right away but he also knows when to just let you be. Thank you again Jeff for a wonderful place to stay!

Perfect for our use
Everything was great, from the hosts communication to the location. Check in to the property was simple and well documented. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked(multiple pots and pans), which hasn't been the case in previous places I've stayed. The mud room was an added bonus for our fishing gear and a good place to dry any wet items. I would happily stay there again.

Hard to beat
What a perfect place to stay while exploring more of our beloved North Platte River. The charm and captivating beauty of this place is enhanced by its history and obvious family sentiment. Remote without being too far out there. Nice drive to either town. Right next to a prime public access area to the North Platte River for fishing/launching. Great wildlife viewing, especially raptors. Jeff will not let you miss out on anything happening in the County! He's an attentive host. We will definitely visit again to see the place during a different season. Star-gazing was prime. Well-stocked with everything you need for meal prep and coffee in the morning. How generous to share a family heirloom like this with guests. Thank you Jeff.

There’s No Place Like Homestead
We wanted to be close to a real Wyoming town yet out on our own. Three fathers and three sons wanted a last chance fishing trip before high school senior year. This place was perfect! The Homestead was right next to the river allowing us to fish out our back door for wild browns and bows. It was comfortable and very convenient to Saratoga with restaurants, stores, etc. Being there for a week was special since everyone in the area knows Jeff. Thanks Jeff for being a great host and we will see you next year (minus the sons). Appreciate your hospitality!

Fisherman’s Paradise
The Treasure Island Homestead is a fisherman’s paradise. This beautiful farmhouse sits on the North Platte river just minutes from Saratoga Wyoming. It was the perfect place for this fishing family of 5. We literally just walked out the back door and started fishing. We caught 30 of some of the biggest Rainbow and Brown trout we have ever caught on vacation and that was just in a two day stay. Most of our catches were in the 14-18 inch range. The house itself was clean and comfortable. The homeowner has stocked the house with anything you could possibly need for your stay. The best part was soaking in the hot tub after a long day of fishing. If you are not fisherman there are plenty of other things to do close by. The Medicine Bow National forest is a short drive from the house and boasts beautiful hiking trails for your enjoyment. The quaint town of Saratoga has several good restaurants and multiple small shops for your enjoyment. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Treasure Island Homestead.

Great location & perfect home for just such adventure’s
I brought my family up for Christmas & to learn to ride snowmobiles. Well, this is a excellent location to stay for sledding each day. The house was roomy enough for 6 & the deer hanging out by the barn everyday made for beautiful scenery! Everything was clean & orderly, plenty of room in mudd room to organize our gear! I am so happy with set up that we rented again in New Year for another trip with the other half of family! Hopefully this group won’t get stuck as much as last group! I am only one in both groups that has sledded before so i am instructor & primary to help dig them out😎I will say after 5 days they all got substantially better & stuck allot less!

Home Away From Home!
From our first inquiry into this property we were impressed. Jeff was so accommodating and we had all the details we needed and more! The house was clean and comfortable and we loved all the personal touches. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to cook including a wide variety of seasonings and some goodies left in the fridge from the group before! The hot tub was sparkling and such a treat after a long day fishing. The fishing! Our favorite part was being able to walk out the door in the morning to our own private access to the river. My husband and I both fly and spin fish and we caught fish every trip out. The proximity to lakes and other parts of the river nearby is easy and if you need some direction, just ask Jeff! He was so good at getting back to us right away with suggestions for restaurants, groceries, activities and most important to us, detailed maps of where to fish, hike or four-wheel in the area. Easy 10 min drive to towns for anything we needed. We are definitely staying here again and we might even bring our adult kids with us next time. There was plenty of room for more people, especially with all there is to do outside! Thanks Jeff!
