Cranes and more!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our group and we really appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the out door grill. The crane migration was amazing and this house was the perfect place to stay. Minutes from the Crane Trust. Would definitely stay here again.

Summer Vacation

We had a great stay!! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The history and pictures inside are wonderful. The owners were extremely friendly and quick to respond. They even brought us a coffee mug and a gift certificates to thank us for staying and took time to share some of the history of the home. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are in the area, and highly recommend this home to anyone else needing a place to stay in the greater Grand Island area.

Beautiful homestead!

We really enjoyed all the space this home has to offer! Some highlights included 3 bathrooms, plenty of seating in the kitchen plus nice outdoor seating options- all comfortable. Kitchen was laid out nicely with a chart for where to find things, good pots/pans- great for breakfast, dishwasher and story highlighting the history of the home/family. Host was very friendly and quick with all communication- everything was clean and comfortable; convenient check in and check out process.

Fantastic Farm Homestead

Our group absolutely LOVED our stay at Hatties. Jeff and Julie are such lovely and gracious hosts. We liked them so much we wanted to take them home with us. The property is large, nicely appointed, full of history, and easy for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We loved being close enough to various cities but out in the country for quiet evenings and star filled skies. Every single member of our group would love to come back.

Beautiful Home and Property

The property worked great for our group of people. We were in town for a softball tournament and was able to have team get together‘s for bonding outside of playing along with team meals. I called it a beautiful home because that’s how it felt, like a home and not just a house. The owners have done a great job of decorating and providing the basics and more in the kitchen. The owners were easy to communicate with for the entire process, from booking to checking in and to checking out. We will definitely be back!

Exceptional Nebraska hospitality

This house is extremely clean, cozy and very well equipped. The bedrooms are quiet and the beds super comfortable. Great stocked kitchen and two kitchen tables. One makes a great card table. The countryside is serene and peaceful and watching the sunrise on the porch and the sunset out back was awesome. So close to Hastings or Grand Island. You can't go wrong staying here. All 4 of my girlfriends would good it 5 stars!

An Amazingly Quiet and Peaceful Getaway

I have rented a lot of VRBO's and this one takes the #1 spot. First, it's steeped in over 100 years of history, which Jeff is happy to share with you. The house is adorned in both modern and time-period accurate decor. They have gone to great lengths to share the farm's history and their respect for our military. They had everything we needed. We only had to leave to get food. Fortunately, there are grocery stores 10 miles in either direction. I look forward to going back and spending more time here.

Fantastic house for crane migration

We have stayed in many vacation rental properties and this is one of the absolute best. It is a beautifully restored and updated farm house, well maintained, spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished. The kitchen is fully stocked with nice cookware and basic supplies, even with an extensive spice rack. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Note that the Rowe Sanctuary (for sandhill crane migration viewing) is about a 45 minute drive away via I80. Cranes are everywhere in this area during migration season, so just head out on the back roads. Very highly recommended!

A Nebraska Treat

Seven of us slogged from various parts of the country to witness the Sandhill Crane migration and enjoy one another’s company. Hattie’s farmhouse was the perfect site for both. It was clean, comfortable, spacious and welcoming. The kitchen was well-equipped and the whole set up of the house made conversation and visiting easy and rich. Jeff, the host, was very considerate and kind, especially when dealing with the challenges that arose when the area lost power due to ice and high winds. The house, the birds, the attentiveness of our host, and the secluded beauty of the region made for a truly memorable visit that we hope to repeat in the near future.

Wonderful property. Convenient to Grand Island and Hastings (20 minutes or less). House is as described and well equipped with everything you would need. Hosts were quick to respond and easy to work with. Main floor bedroom and walk-in shower are a big plus for those with mobility concerns.
