We booked the Cats Meow for our daughter’s wedding so the bridesmaids and bride could stay and get ready! It was the perfect size for everyone to stay and get ready day of the wedding. The beds were a little more firm for our liking but we would definitely stay here again! The host was very quick to respond to our questions and it we highly recommend this house if you are looking for a place to stay in Ainsworth NE.

Family gathering

We needed a place that was “home” for several days with the ability to cook. All the grandsons got to enjoy some time together for a big sleep over while home for a funeral. We did need an air mattress because of 6 boys but there was plenty of wonderful places to “camp” out if needed. The hostess was wonderful and very accommodating as we shared what we needed and she did what she could to help us have a relaxing trip with all the stress of a funeral. Thank you!!

Best around

My family and I have stayed in several different places in the general area and I can say, without a doubt, that this place is the best. Great house and yard. Everything was tidy and clean. Thorough instructions for just about anything you needed in the place. Will definitely be staying here again. placuld

Perfect house for family & pets

Our fourth stay at cat’s meow & always perfect with plenty of room for the whole family and pets. The house has everything that you could ever think of needing from the kitchen to the bedding and more. You will feel like you’re in the country, but you’re also in the city, I guarantee, you will enjoy staying at the cats meow.
