I can be available at check in if needed. Otherwise I will provide check in information before your stay so you can check in any time.

The neighborhood
The home is located in Fort Calhoun,Nebraska,United States.

The acreage feels secluded and private. It has heavy tree growth and we leave most of the property to grow wild. The lot is at an incline, and the house sits high so there are great views from our many balconies. You are welcome to walk the trails on our property. It's fun to explore!

More information
Getting around

Fort Calhoun is a small, friendly Nebraska town right outside Omaha. We are a short drive to the airport, restaurants, and nightlife of Omaha--about 25 minutes by highway-- but you will feel like you are worlds away from the city while at our property!

On your way to our property you will pass Super Bee Orchard--be sure to stop for a homemade pie, fresh peaches or apples, and local honey!!!

We stayed at Dancing Bear Lodge for a weekend with our kids and grandkids. There were 12 of us. It's a clean, beautiful log cabin home, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and there were a good number of well stocked, roomy bathrooms. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, dinnerware and utensils for our use. There was a treehouse play area for the kids on the property and some hiking trails. It's about a half hour away from Omaha. Communication with the owner was good. We had no complaints. It's a great place for a larger group to stay.

The house and surrounding grounds had plenty of space for our family get-together of 15. We loved the fire pit and outdoor seating area. The kitchen was well stocked and linens were plentiful. We had a nice relaxing weekend! Thanks!

We came around the College World Series as a central location for our families to come together. The older cousins enjoyed the outdoor space and ping pong/pool table. The adults appreciated bar area and the fire pit. It was a great getaway from the downtown life of Omaha, and a wonderful location for a family get together.

The stay was great, the only 2 things that were disappointing was the pool cue didn’t have good tips on them so it made it really hard to play. We’re a pretty big pool playing group so it was disappointing. The only other thing was the master bedroom felt like it had no A/C, mad it almost impossible to sleep it was so hot. Woke up both mornings sweating. Other than that it was great.

3rd yr in a row should say it all!! It's absolutely beautiful inside and out ♥️ and stocked with everything possible. Christmas in the cabin with my adult children and our 6 grandchildren is simply MAGICAL.......Christmas through the eyes of a child! ♥️ Mark, the owner is always a text away and responds immediately!! We reached out to Mark the owner in regards to a lost anniversary band and asked him to reach out to us if he found it not ever expecting to receive a call from him but we did! He was doing yard work and found the ring outside! He went above and beyond to help us locate the ring and we are soooo thankful for him! We have traveled from Dubai, UAE (United Arab Emirates) the last three yrs for Christmas to spend together at such a beautiful place! If it ever goes up for sale........WELL ♥️
