Nice but weird

Beautiful Cabin. But.... No Closets...No Hooks...No Coat rack. Had to lay our suitcases on the floor and hang clothing on the stair rail. Nice Queen Bed upstairs...but beware older folks, you have to go downstairs to pee at night ! Nice shower. Nice dishes. Great fireplace.Dining table nice...but no light above it; too dark to play cards. TV "antenna " work good...once we figured it out ! ( input which when u change channels...count to 10 to wait for channel to "come in". Instructions woild have been Nice !. Fyi teflon coming off in sauce pan. Should listi g not have to say " No WiFi"??Lovely to see and hear Sandhill Cranes fly overhead.

Crane Adventure

Went to Kearney to watch the crane migration. Incredible experience. The property is ideally located as it is in the heart of crane viewing. Everything relating to the property was as advertised and very good. If I had one suggestion it would be to enhance cell service.

Charming cabin, great location

Wonderful place! We loved the cute cabin, the country atmosphere, the creek in back and sandhill cranes. Very accommodating owner: we originally booked 2 nights during crane season and ended up staying 5!

Cozy Cabin and Cranes

The cabin was so clean and cozy with a gorgeous stone fireplace and comfortable furnishings. We were visiting the area to view the Sandhill crane migration, and their flight pattern was right over the cabin. The cabin was close to town but seemed remote.

Wonderful Property on Town Outskirts

Liked it so much we stayed an extra day. The app wouldn't let us extend the day so we messaged the host who quickly facilitated. We enjoyed the movies, games, kitchen, fireplace, and house property area to walk in. Will definitely return/recommend to others.

Awesome cablin

Our visit was for a funeral. We picked this location because we had to bring our fur baby. We didn’t want to stay in a hotel in case he barked while we were attending the funeral. The location was easy to access just on the outskirts of town. Quite little neighborhood.

That Fireplace! Wow!

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely cabin with us. A few highlights. Waking up to a family of deer along the crystal-clear creek right outside the back door. Returning from a day of hiking the trails to curl up with a movie ("Remember the Titans") in front of that incredible fireplace. The unmistakable feeling of "home" that comes across in every detail.

Quintessential Nebraska getaway

Idyllic location on the Platte River. An Authentic experience and modern comforts combine to showcase the beauty of the Platte Valley. Close to Kearney’s endless resources and far enough removed to give guests a tranquil spot to rest, revive, and celebrate all at once.
