The hosts have several added amenities to make the stay comfortable and fun! From the assortment of themed dishes to choose from for each meal to indoor and outdoor entertainment options. Breakfast on the deck with the beautiful view was enjoyed by all. The beds were comfortable and the house is spacious. We had 3 couples and the house allowed us each our own bathroom. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay again!

Me and my four kids ages 6-12 were passing through on our cross country road trip. This home was a welcoming haven. You could tell the hosts really cared about their guests- there were ample supplies and the beds and linens were comfortable. My children loved playing in the paddle boat and in the play room downstairs. The kitchen was a bit tight but had everything we needed. The hosts provided customized recommendations for us and binders of helpful info as well. It was a beautiful stay.

Our family enjoyed this home right on the water. Perfect for young families. Lots of toys, games, and kids activities on the property. The paddleboat was a big hit with the little kids. Great location in proximity to downtown, old market, and the zoo. Wonderful hosts. Would highly recommend. Regarding the zoo: we tried to go before school let out for the summer. The crowds were noticeably less than usual. Additionally, try to buy a season pass to your home zoo and use the reciprocal program for half off tickets. This particularly helps if you can only do half days because of nap times. Aquarium is fantastic.

Traveled with my family for weekend trip to go to the zoo, and enjoy the old market area. House is wonderful, spacious with all the amenities we could need and more, convenient to downtown and the zoo, just a short drive. Beautiful peaceful neighborhood, house was fantastic, would definitely stay there again!

The stars of the show were honestly Harold and Barbara. My husband and I were traveling with our son and his daughter. It was our first trip with our granddaughter and we wanted her Easter to be memorable. Every question I posed was answered thoughtfully and with careful consideration of the fact we were traveling with a 3-year old. From restaurants, to activities, to playgrounds, they gave amazing advice and insight and practically planned our trip. But the next star in the constellation was the house! Though we had a full weekend planned, once we got to the house our granddaughter did not want to leave. Her eyes grew big at the sight of the toy room and the playscape and the stay unspooled perfectly, if not too quickly. The house was spotless and the kitchen very well equipped. It was a delightful experience from the moment we booked to the time we checked out.

Great spot for a couple of days overnight in Omaha. Property feels like home as the hosts go overboard to stock the home with everything you need and more. Great fishing off their backyard dock and literally minutes away from downtown Omaha.

The home was so well equipped with extra blankets, snacks, and indoor games for the kids. I was worried the older kids woild be bored because we were unable to enjoy being outside due the the drop in temperature while we were there, but the kids stayed in the basement, playing board games that the host provided. The home was clean and in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be staying there again.

This property is very well kept. Everything was very clean. It’s spacious with lots of special touches. The owners thought of everything. The kitchen is wee equipped. The outdoor areas have lots of space. There is plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. The area was quiet. The owner was excellent about getting right back to us anytime we contacted them. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

Beautiful home on the canal. The owners have literally thought of everything you could need and provided it - and the house is beautiful down to the most plush bathroom rugs! We loved sitting on the deck and just relaxing. It was Labor Day weekend with highs of 100 and we could still sit out at 4 pm and enjoy a glass of wine and it was beautiful - so relaxing. Very spacious, new carpeting (or felt that way anyway!). Tons of extra blankets, games, coffee and creamer. Having a separate bathroom for each bedroom was wonderful too. Also great communication from the owners. We have found our place to stay in Omaha!

Everything was as advertised. My family and I stayed for a long weekend in order to visit the Omaha Zoo! It was great to have such a nice place to return to after a long day at the zoo. My kiddo enjoyed all the amenities in and outside the house. The host was super responsive and communicated well. I would recommend it to others.

This house is in a nice neighborhood and is very nice. It is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The view of the canal is beautiful. Lots of wildlife. We saw what looked like otters swimming by, cranes and many gorgeous birds. Our son saw a fox. House is exactly as pictured and super clean.

Home was lovely and worked well for our family of adults (40-70yr olds). Great location for the CWS! There were quite a number of limitations on the home however and we were asked to leave early so the next rental could check-in on time. There was no compromise between our check-out time and the new renter’s check-in time and no concession for us accommodating the request.

We had the best time staying at this house with our two young children. The house had everything we needed and more, and the owners were hospitable and easy to work with. Easy access to the zoo, Children’s Museum, and Old Market. We enjoyed Omaha, but the amenities (and toys!) at the house made our vacation a real 10/10. Would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful home! Our family had a great time. The water levels on the lake were a little low but we found a swim beach just down the road (Wavecrest Park) that were a perfect compromise. The hosts provide everything you could possibly need! Thanks again!

The home was extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The kids were in heaven with the playroom. We just wish we had known about the severe drought and how negatively it has impacted the water levels off the rental dock. There was also loud construction going on all day Next-door…not the owners fault. Close to downtown and the zoo which was the purpose of our trip. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

Great home that offered plenty of space for friends and family to gather yet spread apart. The only downside was that the weather was not warm enough to enjoy the water.
