About this house rental

Grand views await you in this well-appointed vacation home. Close to golf, water recreation, fishing and hunting.
This property is a true piece of American History. The home was built in 1900 for William Bear, who stood with Chief Standing Bear to challenge the Federal Government in Court. It was moved to Niobrara Village, added onto and updated in 2008. There are 180-degree views of the Missouri River with the Standing Bear Bridge to the East, from every part of the home.
Entering through the front door is the original main level of the house. The wood floors, doors and accents built in 1900, remain intact. Adding to the beauty of the parlor is a Diamond Willow staircase built by Keith Eckmann in 2008.
The location of this home provides year around opportunities of sporting, recreation, and family gatherings. Ample opportunities for water activities in the Niobrara, Missouri and Lewis and Clark Lake.

For security, there are two outside cameras on the property. One shows the front porch and front door. The other captures the driveway.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our short trip to Niobrara. The large kitchen leads out onto a huge deck that looks out to views of the Missouri river and the Chief Standing Bear bridge. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. Also, the Niobrara Market is 3 minutes away just in case you need anything. Totally recommend this house 1000%!

We had an amazing stay at this home in Nebraska! We were a group of five friends, and the house provided everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy and enjoyable to cook meals together. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring everyone had a great night's sleep. The house was well-maintained and had all the amenities we could ask for. We felt right at home and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, well-appointed vacation rental. Five stars all the way!

a perfect place to stay in the Niobara area. While most of our time was spent on the golf course, it was nice to see the sunrise over the river and unwind on the deck after the rounds at night. Highly recommend this property.

This is one of the most beautiful properties. The view of the Missouri River and the bridge over the river is stunning. As you enjoy the big deck off the kitchen there is a vast view of the area. The bedrooms were all wonderful and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked. Everything was very clean. Book it!!!!

We were all so impressed with the property from entering the beautiful house to studying all of the history and artwork to admiring the amazing woodwork to sitting on the deck with breathtaking views to soaking in the clawfoot tub. Life doesn't get much better than this!

What a beautiful home and amazing location! Unfortunately, the three days we were there were a few of the hottest days of the summer and the AC couldn’t keep up with the 100 degree temps so the basement was the only cool location most of the time. The host was very responsive to communication and requests. His housekeeper brought a couple more fans and had someone come look at the AC unit which made a difference. Would love to rent this in the fall and enjoy time on the beautiful deck.

We loved staying at this historical, art and personality-filled home. And the views! Sitting out on the deck was our favorite place to be. The endlessly changing sky! Birdsong! It is a very comfortable, beautiful home.

We loved the house, it's been beautifully restored! We enjoyed the view from the deck and having lots of space to grill and relax. The state park is close by but we didn't spend much time there. Niobrara is a quiet little town if you want to get away for a few days. There isn't much of a recreation area anymore, however. The place for tubing is several hours away in Valentine, NE and there are some websites that make it sound like Niobrara still has that. Our family loved the movie room in the basement, the large deck, and the overall vibe of the house. The kitchen is very nice if you enjoy cooking like I do! The bedrooms upstairs are very nice, and the claw foot bathtub was wonderful!

Beautiful home with an amazing view. A great location for a relaxing, low-key getaway. Great state parks very close by. Young kids enjoyed playing on the beach/river. Every meal was eaten on the back deck as you can't beat the fresh air, slow pace and view.

The Bear House is a welcoming place to stay. Everything you need to enjoy your time there. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, a wonderful kitchen and just overall great accommodations. And the deck! We spent both evenings out there and the views and space couldn’t be beat! We spent time exploring the Niobrara State Park along with kayaking. Our group had such and enjoyable time relaxing and enjoying the weekend.

Beautiful historic house, stunning views. The deck was such a peaceful place to be. Very tiny downtown, but it’s minutes away from the Niobrara state park which is gorgeous. We had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend away.

We really enjoyed our stay The house fit my family perfectly When we were there we spent most of our time on the deck. The air conditioning was a problem. It was working great when we got there but in the evening it started to warm up in the house. We adjusted the thermostat some but it didn’t seem to help. So we went to bed. In the morning it was working fine again. When we got back from our event that afternoon it was starting to warm up again. We went to eat and came back later and it was getting warmer in the house. I tried to find a way to contact somebody but your app wouldn’t let me. So we spent the evening on the deck and when we went to bed it was a pretty uncomfortable night for some because their windows didn’t open My son finally shut down the air conditioning because it was running but no air was moving and he didn’t want the unit to get ruined. In the morning we turned it back on and it worked again.
