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.
