The property was a great place to cook together, play games, and relax. It was close enough to Omaha that we were able to enjoy the outstanding zoo, play pickleball, take the kids to a movie and go to a trampoline park.

This house had everything we needed to celebrate my upcoming wedding! Comfy beds, soft bedding and towels, great living room set up and easy to use TV, and the hot tub / fire ring areas were so nice!
Kitchen stocked well, could use more cutting boards/sharper knives. Otherwise had everything we needed!
I only marked cleanliness down 1 star due to the dead bugs and mouse poop seen in the basement. Not a lot but definitely present.
Lastly I want to commend this host, she is extremely responsive! After arriving we inspected all areas of the house, we found that the chairs down by the creek had gotten blown in and were completely submerged. The host quickly resolved this issue by bringing new chairs within 20min!
Highly recommend this house.

Had a great visit for our annual girls trip (ages 35 to 79). The house was great but not ideal for persons with mobility issues; there are little steps, raised floors about 1 to 2 inches in common areas; while that was noted it was still a great house for our trip. We ran out of toilet paper (only 2 and 1/2 roll total when we arrived) and there was issues with the VRBO site which sent our message 24 hours after we sent it and after we already went and bought our own. Diana responded quickly when she did receive the message and was so kind. We enjoyed the area, the nature and memories made! Thanks for a great trip!

We were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. Our adult children and two grandsons stayed with us. The house was perfect. Loved the yard space as we love yard games. The hot tub and deck were amazing! We are from Omaha do it was a staycation for us but just what I was looking for!

This was the perfect house and location for our family vacation. Close to everything we wanted to do in Omaha and in the evening the deck was a great place to hang out and visit

The property was amazing and even better than the photos. My kids all caught fish at the stream and we made s’mores more than once on the deck . Rooms were perfect for our group of six and the master bedroom was SO quiet! The master bathroom was incredible and all communication with hosts was quick and friendly. The town of Fort Calhoun had a nice gas station and we were 25 minutes from downtown Omaha. Perfect location! So pleased and we will be back!!

Our family group of 13 (4 different families, ages 1-62) really enjoyed our time here. We had plenty of space for individual families and space to gather.
Kids and adults enjoyed fishing at the creek, playing in the yard, gathering on the deck, not to mention the space inside the house to eat and visit. The views are beautiful - we even took some family pictures while all together!
The kitchen had pretty much all the utensils and cookware you would need. There was a bookshelf full of games for our use, as well as a smart TV that we could log in to our Netflix and Disney+ accounts (really helpful with the little kids!)
The only thing we ran into was some slow communication. We sent a few questions about the property through the VRBO app when we got there and didn't receive a response. After a day, we texted the host's phone and she replied then.
Location wise - about 20 minutes away from Omaha where we went to the zoo, waterpark, and airspace museum. And 10 minutes away the other direction in Blair was Wal-Mart! It was the perfect spot.
We made many memories and we would definitely recommend! :)

This rental is a beautiful property nestled in the countryside outside of Omaha. We booked this as a get-together for our family of 14. The house has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two walk-through rooms with 2-3 twin beds in them. The living area was very nice and had ample room for all of us to be together....although we spent most of our time on the spacious deck, or fishing in the pond on the property. All in all, the rental was a perfect place for our family to be together. It was enjoyed by both adults and children. The pasture with horses in it was a great addition to an already beautiful setting. The house was spacious with plenty of clean beds and bathrooms. The kitchen had most everything we needed for preparing our meals...as far as tableware, utensils, pans, etc, We did have to purchase a few household items (paper towels and toilet paper) that were to be provided by the hosts, but this was not a big deal. We had a question come up one evening, so I messaged the host, and she was at the property within 5-10 minutes to assist us. Both hosts, Diana and Cathy, were easy to work with and would reply quickly with any questions we had prior to arriving at the rental. Overall, we had a great experience.

The house was as advertised, in good repair and well stocked with the basics. Close enough to access in town for groceries and other supplies but far enough removed that you still feel secluded from all of it.
Hosts were helpful and quick to reply to my many inquiries! We really enjoyed the stay.
Thank you!

My family hadn’t all been together in one spot in YEARS. This secluded Omaha getaway was just what we needed to reconnect for a few days. We had plenty of family dinners and game nights together as the space provided ample room for everyone to be included and nobody was on top of one another. Also, baby slept soundly in a pack-n-play in the master. It was far enough away from all the action to be almost sound proof! LOVED that! It was truly a great time! And we are very thankful for the time spent here!!

We gathered here for a family Christmas. It worked out perfectly. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of space. The kitchen had lots of cooking items and we enjoyed having two separate big tables. Games could be played and both places but we didn't feel separated. Great place for a gathering and we would go back!

Arranged an early arrival with Diana but when Cathy got there she had no idea…she yelled at my son for 10 minutes. They showed up on property while we were taking naps and there are so many notes everywhere telling you what not to do or your lose your deposit. Absolutely would never pay that much a night to not have the place to ourselves or to have all these rules all over…don’t touch the thermostat, bag all garbage or you’ll lose your deposit and the list goes on…beautiful place but didn’t pay to have the owners yell at us because they didn’t communicate with each other or to show up unannounced during our stay. The number of notes “Not to do this or that” were ridiculous really

This site is centrally located for biking trails around Omaha and visiting downtown Omaha or the Bertram museum. The museum combines a nature center and a historic site. The site interprets materials salvaged from a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River in 1865. Beautiful rolling hills make for a lovely setting. Great deck for outdoor dining, games, and visiting. The deck also has a hot tub. Spacious living room, many bedrooms. Very comfortable.

Great house on a large property!
This house worked really well for our family who were together for a wedding. The large living room was wonderful for visiting and the hot tub was an added bonus! The kitchen is very nice and well stocked with dishes and cookware. Even the dishwasher was amazing! It was nice to have an extra refrigerator in the basement too. The house is on a really neat and spacious property! Although it was winter time, we still walked down to the pond where there is a firepit that would be really great to use! It states that this house has 7 bedrooms, but we just might mention that the area with two twin beds (downstairs)and the area with three twin beds (main floor) is not private. You have to go through these areas to get into four of the other bedrooms. We were all adults and used every bed, so it could have been a little awkward if we had not all been family. But it really was a great house and we wished we could have stayed longer! Diana was very helpful and an excellent communicator, responding almost immediately to any question we had.
