There was so much room to spread out! Several bedrooms upstairs, and the bunk room had 5 beds to chose from! Bathroom/shower upstairs and downstairs. Sufficient kitchen supplies for all of our cooking needs, and we cooked several meals at the house. The house is at the end of the lane and felt secluded which we liked! The view of the river was so peaceful! Great communication with the owner. Overall it was great!

Fabulous facilities and peaceful environment. You can watch wild turkeys and deer as they stroll by. Provides everything you could ever need and more with the exception of bath face washcloths. Could use more. We were thrilled with our choice and would highly recommend it for family reunions!

This was a perfect getaway spot for my family when we were in Waterloo NE for a wedding. This amazing property was close to the wedding venue and also felt like a private and peaceful space to relax and rejuvenate when we had downtime to ourselves. Our daily sights of deer, wild turkeys and other beautiful creatures along with the pristine view of the Elkhorn River, made this entire VRBO experience one of our all-time favorites!

For the past 10 years my family and I pick different cities for our family vacation. We always stay in a VRBO that will sleep at least 12. All enjoyed our stay here - many things for the children to do inside/outside. This is a fabulous place to stay and we all decided it was our favorite property throughout the 10 years.

While this property would have been an ok place to stay, there was a distinct cigarette smell inside the property when we arrived and five minutes later we left the property and did not continue with our stay. I'm certain the past renters created this problem, not the owner, but we were only refunded $110 dollars out of $2,000 and the owner continually said the property did not smell. Myself and two other crew members on our team disagreed and had to find lodging in a nearby town last minute. If they get the cigarette smell out of the property it would be an ok place to stay. Vrbo was not able to refund us any money as they said it was up to the owner to decide. So hard to prove a smell with a phone camera, so we, the renters, were out of luck here.

This was a great property to have a weekend getaway with friends! We loved the beautiful view of the lake! The house was clean and very comfortable to stay in. We would highly recommend this property. We loved that it was close to downtown Omaha to be able to do things there, but had beautiful outdoor space to enjoy. We would stay here again :)

Our host was super at communication, the house was easy to access and we felt right at home from the minute we walked in. We enjoyed coffee watching the wildlife near the river (turkeys, deer, and a beaver!), and of course used the wonderful fire pit to roast s'mores. With an 18 month old, safety is key, and the house was kiddo proof, making it relaxing despite having a little one. With family living in Omaha, we will very likely rent this again when in town to visit.

We had friends visiting from out of town for reunion events. It was the perfect spot to sit and catch up, and have everyone stay together. The property had a great view of the river, was beautifully kept. The hosts were very helpful and made the process extremely easy. Several guests said that they’d like to book this property in warmer months to take advantage of the river access. Highly recommend!!

Our stay was better than expected. We loved the cleanliness and openness of the home. We flew in from Florida to host Christmas Day with our Nebraska kids and grandkids.

The upstairs bedrooms were nice for young grandkids who go to bed early so adults could stay up and play games or chat. The boys loved the bunk beds. The kids also loved seeing all the animals by the river. Saw a beaver on the shore of the river and the turkeys walked right outside the back windows. Very peaceful location yet less than 30 minutes from the Omaha Zoo and the children’s museum.

This lovely home by the river was a perfect vacation getaway for our family. The backyard and patio overlooking the river was nothing but peaceful and soothing to the soul.

My friends and I stayed here for a girl’s weekend and had so much fun! The house is backed up to the woods with a nice sized yard. The host was very accommodating. The river was incredibly low when we visited, which was a bummer, but obviously out of the host’s control. Would recommend!

The description of the property is accurate, but the host, Julie, has gone above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. There are condiments, spices, baggies, and all kinds of cooking utensils. We enjoyed watching deer, wild turkeys, herons, and eagles in the yard and along the river. The house is close enough to enjoy all that Omaha has to offer as well.

This house was a great way for our two farming families to enjoy the big city of Omaha! Yes it is about a 20 minute drive to the major Omaha sites such as the zoo and children's museum; but to us it was worth it to be able to come back and have a big yard for the kids to play in and have access to the river! We were able to hit up the sites and still have the peace and quiet we love about country life! Neighborhood is a little "backwoodsy" but it was very quiet and had very little traffic!

Our family was in town for the 13U World Series. The location was private, yet the perfect distance to the CWS, and the fields we played on in Omaha and Council Bluffs. My family and I love nature and this place had turkey, deer, tons of fish, plus direct access to the Elkhorn River. Fishing and floating were the best. Looking forward to our next Nebraska trip! Mrs. Julie, your home is beautiful, accommodating, and peaceful. Thank you for the quick responses and sharing your home w/ me and mine.

Comfortable Riverfront house

Comfortable Riverfront house

We had a wedding to attend in Omaha so we rented this house for a few days. The kids loved the yard and the sandy river beach. Inside there we lots of little places for them to play and hide. The adults loved the outdoor seating and huge living room. The house was nicely remodeled. It was very comfortable. The owners were quick responding to text messages and very friendly.
