Absolutely wonderful stay at Red Butte Ranch!

Our family had a great stay here. Communication & check-in process with the property manager was easy and very personalized. The lodge was very spacious, and everything was very easy! My wife & I even floated down the North Platte River - very refreshing!

The house was just what we needed for the holiday. It was close to town yet had a country feel, not to mention right next to the river! The host was amazing and we can’t wait to stay again.

Wonderful Wyoming Getaway

We had an amazing time at Red Butte Ranch. Beautiful location, great host (Ruth), incredible scenery and great fishing. 5 of us stayed in the lodge with more than enough room and peace and quiet. We had a great time winding down in the evenings, watching basketball and playing ping pong. Everything you need for cooking is there, Beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean, and it even had a nice garage and laundry room to dry out our fishing gear and warm it up for the next day. I would recommend staying here to anyone, and I will not stay anywhere else in the Alcova/Casper area. Thanks Ruth we will see you next time.

Not child safe

House is in decent shape. Feels a lot like someone inherited Grandma's house and turned it right around to rent it out. Nice and clean; great location right on the river. Not as secluded as the photos make it seem but a great location anyhow. Don't expect to be able to lock up at night as the sliding glass doors don't lock and you won't get the key code for the door. According to the host, "we don't need locks here" (whatever that means) but maybe don't bring anything too valuable. The issues all seem to be with the host. First, we saw in the listing that check in time is 10:00 AM, so we made plans to be there at 10. When driving from Oregon to Wyoming, this affected our plans pretty significantly. Once we got close, we hadn't heard anything, so we messaged the host... turns out check in is 2 pm. The host did work on getting us in earlier, and we checked in around 12:30, but it was frustrating to have planned around one time and end up having to wait. The biggest issue occurred later in our trip. We had several small kids with us, and one of them opened the door to a bedroom while an adult was behind it. The mirror attached to the back of the door fell off and broke. Fortunately, the adult who was there only got a small cut, but it could have been much worse if the kid was the one behind the door. Looking at it afterwards, the mirror was only secured with a few screws and washers (not actual glass clips) on 3 sides, which was a bit frightening. We got it cleaned up and contacted the host to apologize and offer to reimburse her for the cost of the mirror. The response was not "oh no, hope everyone's ok", it was "I just don't know what to say. It's not about the money, it's about the people who used to live here." Super awkward (if this stuff is so important, why is it in a VRBO that you rent out to families with kids?) and rather baffling. She will also just walk in the house and call for someone if she needs to talk to you rather than messaging or knocking, which was also odd and rather off-putting. Hopefully the host can fix some of the issues, because it really is a pretty place, but we probably won't be back.

State Wrestling

We stayed here for the Wyoming High School State Wrestling tournament and it was great! We had plenty of room for our four adult children along with their sposes and the 2 grand kids. It was clean and comfortable for what we needed. We only wished we would of had more time to enjoy it! Ruth the owner was very sweet and helpful. Looking forward to staying here next year if we get the chance!

Cozy Lodge on the Platte River

We enjoyed our week stay at the Red Butte Ranch very much. It was spacious, clean, had a fully stocked kitchen and the host (Ruth) was amazing. The location was great, located just a few miles out of Casper yet quiet and serene. We plan to return next summer and if available would book the RBR again.

Red Butte Ranch is beautiful.

The Red Butte Ranch is a beautiful, rustic location on the banks of the historic North Platte River, with a great view of the Red Buttes of Bessemer Mountain. A great backdrop for pictures. I hear the fishing is good too. My family stayed in the "Lodge" house, which is a large house with many bedrooms, and all the comforts of home. There is also a smaller, cozy cottage on the property for smaller groups. We all enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the game room for a ping pong tournament. Our host, Ruth, was very kind, helpful and provided us with all we needed. I wish we would have had more time to explore the North Platte River area, and to catch some trout for dinner. We plan on going back to the Red Butte Ranch at our soonest opportunity.
