Three generations of our family truly enjoyed our stay at the Farmhouse. The nearly 130 yr old home has been beautifully restored and renovated with today's modern conveniences. Inside, things were clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The A/C was welcome indeed considering the near 100 degree Nebraska temperatures. Unlike hotel style lodging, there's plenty of room for playing board games and family meals. The expansive outdoor area was well groomed and green. An occasional passing car was the only thing to let us know we weren't totally off grid. Jeff, the host, is a warm and friendly guy. Very happy to have met him while we were there. Hattie's 1898 Homestead is highly recommended as a place to stay if you are ever in the area. Should a future need arise, we'll be back!

This was the location of our bi-annual family vacation. It felt like home for the Southern family as well as the Northern family. Super clean and just the right size for all of us. The perfect place to relax, do some sightseeing and visit in a peaceful setting.

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.

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.

Everything in the house was outstanding. They did a fantastic job of remodeling the home to accommodate renters. The one small item would the the upstairs shower, kind of cramped.

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.

10 out of 10, phenomenal stay!

The pictures do not do this wonderful homestead justice. This lovely home has charm and can accommodate a party of 10 easily. The hosts are on top of it. They communicate and truly want you to enjoy your stay at their home. All of our needs were meet and then some. Furniture was comfortable and bedding was just right. If you're looking for a place to stay when visiting the area, we highly suggest you try this property!
