About this house rental
Best kept secret! Comfortable home in a safe and quiet neighborhood in the hills. Perfectly located for quick and easy drive to downtown Council Bluffs, bustling activity in downtown Omaha, CHI Center, Luminarium, Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, Softball Fields, etc.
Return from a busy day of activities to a peaceful oasis. Relax on the patio, grill out and simply enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds you. Watch sunsets/sunrises on the horizon. Enjoy relaxing. Deer may wander through the yard - but they're quiet when they do.
This is best of both worlds - being on vacation with the comforts of home.
You can sleep comfortably so you're ready to do it all over again the next day!
Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking items, dishes, utensils, smoothie blender, waffle maker, etc. Icemaker in frig. Fully stocked coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Keurig, Bialetti espresso maker, regular coffeemaker- etc.
Laundry room - washer, dryer, soap/softener, iron and clothes folding table at the bottom of the stairs for guest usage.
Grocery store 3 minutes away - down the hill and around the corner for fresh perishables and big ticket items. (See Guide Book for details)
Parking in private driveway.
If you are flying in - Short drive or Uber/Lyft to downtown Omaha, Old Market, Airport, College World Series, CHI Center, Casinos, Henry Doorly Zoo, Joslyn Art Museum or Lauritzen Garden. - Best of all worlds.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This home is not recommended for toddlers or wildly adventurous youth. Inside: Home is not baby/toddler proofed. Stairs inside entryway lead down to laundry area and are not gated. Back patio area is edged, but not fenced with an intense hill/slope past edging. Great to watch the wildlife venture through, but extremely dangerous for wayward little feet. It is steep to the point of impassibility.
Children have stayed at the house and love watching the animals with no problems, but there are some for whom this would not be a good combo. Contact host if you have questions.

This was a fantastic place to stay! It was clean, a great location for us and Sharon went above and beyond for us during our time there. It was the best stay at a vrbo we have ever had they dont really compare 😄 Will definitely be staying here again when we come this way!

Quiet place to stay while visiting the Omaha area. Close to the zoo and other attractions, but secluded enough for a quiet stay. Very clean. We all loved it. Hosts were great with communication and care, thank you!

It was lovely!!! Decorated for Christmas. Shared some food. Watched the deer. Just a perfect little quiet place to relax.

Let me start by saying this is the first time we have ever done anything other than a hotel or motel, so we were a little nervous, but boy did Sharon really set the bar for the next time around. She is definitely the hostess with the mostest and there's a reason she had a five-star review rating. The reason we chose her place was not only the location, the value, but due to prior reviews, especially being the first timer. I must say the place is just as adorable in person as it shows in the pictures, if not more. She definitely stocked the house with more amenities than I was expecting.
Since I was staying there with my husband and my children, being in a safe neighborhood was my number one concern. Since I don't know the area, sometimes pictures can be deceiving. But like all the other folks who stayed here, we did feel safe in this area. We were able to relax out front on the patio, and in the backyard area. There was a little grass area just across the street that the kids were able to play in. It was fairly easy to find with our Google maps, and we were at the zoo within 15 minutes of leaving the house. Let Sharon know after you book why you are staying, and she is very helpful with information regarding local attractions that may be of interest of to you. She was very helpful with us finding local restaurants that were delicious, extra little things we could do with the kids around the area, and just very gracious. Sharon, you are the BEST!!! Thank you!

Close to the big city and tucked away. This was a great place to stay with family where you can go out out on the town and come back to Netflix and chill.

The house was cozy and very welcoming. Sharon was very helpful throughout the stay, offering us recommendations about what to do and answering any questions we had. She even had music playing when we arrived. The house was very clean and organized and had everything we needed. It was only about a 15 minute drive to Omaha, which was perfect for our relaxed mini vacation to the city. The only downside was the road to get to the house. It was a very steep one lane road. This wasn’t an issue, but definitely a surprise to us. We’d 100% stay here again, steep road and all!

We had a great time at the Treehouse! Very comfortable and cozy. Sharon was very kind and helpful. Great location that is close to all the attractions we went to, including the Omaha zoo, the garden,“Bob” the bridge, metro shopping mall, and the AMC movie theater. We will visit again!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was just as pretty as the pictures. Lovely to sit out in the patio and watch the birds. It is located at the end of a street and is quiet and green. Pretty garden. Close to the great zoo and gardens.
Great location. I’d love to do it again!

Definitely recommend this cute little gem. Just a short little vacation for my Mom, son, husband n I. But it was worth it. This house was fully stocked with items I've never seen before when we have rented other homes. Very quite area, and perfect location! Not far from Old County Market. Lots of nice restaurants too choose from. Zoo, the next day, Bob Kerry Bridge, and a few Casinos, all where fairly close. I was very impressed! Thank you for having us:)

My friend and I stayed at this vrbo for a concert and a weekend get away. We had a great time in Omaha and it was so nice coming back to a place that was cozy and felt like home! We already decided we will be staying here when we can meet up again!

The manager was very kind and had Champagne and chilled glasses and a charcuterie board of delicious treats waiting in the frig. Everything was clean and updated. Property waa close to everything we did. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing retreat
We took a short weekend getaway for our anniversary. This was just the right spot. Relaxing, comfortable, quiet. House has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Property owner was extremely helpful as we researched a few small activities like figuring out logistics of visiting a local vineyard. Owner also went above and beyond in providing a thoughtful welcome for us when we arrived at the property. No complaints at all and give a happy endorsement!

Well supplied
A lovely home on a quiet street. Very well supplied with many non-perishable foods. We have not experienced a B&B as well supplied. Highly recommend this home to anyone.

Great getaway for locals
Only a 90min drive from home for us and was the perfect home away from home to reset life a little bit. Peaceful quiet area with nature literally right outside the front door but also close by Broadway Street for easy, relaxing, tasty evenings (Barley's for Burgers and a huge tap list, Caddy's for a lovely dinner or brunch Sat/Sun) with essentials from Walgreens or Supersaver 2-3min away. Sharon is easy to work with, has thought of all the details and clearly enjoys being the true 'hostess with the most-ess'. Check in and out was easy peasy and the host is easily reachable should you need her.

Highly Recommend
This property was awesome to stay at. One of the best by far we’ve stayed at. The kitchen had almost every staple you could think of and was very well equipped to cook and entertain. Sharon is a wonderful host and us very accommodating.

Amazing!!!!
This was the best Vrbo we've ever stayed at! I would give it 6 or 7 stars if I could. The house was immaculate, the owner was great at communicating, provided info on the area and we all had a wonderful time. Beautiful house. Super clean. Quiet and safe neighborhood. I would go back to Council Bluffs if for no other reason to stay here :)

Amazing VBRO with tons of little touches to aid your stay
This is probably one of the best homes I have stayed in. Sharon was amazing to work with and added so many little touches to make my weekend with my 3 boys great. She even left 3 gold coin chocolates in a drawer for my boys and said they were left by a leprechaun.

Tremendous Treehouse!
This home was exactly as described and Sharon was an absolutely wonderful host! Everything I needed was ready and waiting, including extra monitors for remote working. The outside space was comfy and the deer were fun to watch each evening. Perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. Quiet and peaceful...the perfect home for a post-pandemic getaway. I’ll definitely be back!!

Outstanding, wonderful. More than we hoped for...
There wasn't one thing that my family would have wanted changed. Everything, I mean everything was as advertised. Sharon went above and, way, way beyond to make our mothers 89th birthday so very, very special. Deer every morning and every dusk, quiet neighborhood so we could just relax and do nothing. If relaxation is what you need, this place is for you. We will definitely go back for moms 90th!

Everything I hoped for and more!
Was traveling to Omaha to set my daughter up at Creighton and I was nervous about staying anywhere during COVID. But this was PERFECT and I will return to the Treehouse whenever I'm in town. Everything was perfect. It was super clean, incredibly easy to access, so private, and just beautiful. An oasis, really. I can't remember sleeping as well as I did here, even at home! The owner clearly travels a lot and includes even the smallest of details to make your visit perfect. For instance, she has a fully stocked coffee counter with Keurig (even the recyclable type!) and tea and hot chocolate and a cabinet stocked with chocolates in case you have a late night sweet tooth. She has both firm and soft pillows so you can choose what you prefer. There are clear instructions prominently placed throughout the home. I just loved the privacy, the beauty, the cleanliness and how flexible and kind the owner is. I stay in a lot of VRBO's and this is by far the best.
