Bring the whole family and relax in this peaceful environment. Whether you are here to experience the crane migration, the state or county fair, a national or local trap shoot, or to visit family, this home will give you a comfortable place to rest during your stay. Still owned by the same family who homesteaded this farmland in the late 1800's, this amazing home has been completely updated and remodeled. It boasts all the modern conveniences, but with the charm and character of history, including some pieces of early 1900 furniture. This peaceful four bedroom home is located 19 miles from Grand Island, 12 from Hastings, and six from Doniphan. Close to wherever you need to go, but surrounded by nature with an abundance of wildlife, including deer and birds

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
