Took care of our needs

The title is an exaggeration as is the line in the description saying there is a spectacular view of Chimney Rock. There isn’t much of a view of Chimney Rock, but we are also from a place where views are stunning and spectacular, and we weren’t there for a view. This stay was clean minus some dust on the TV stand and the leftover bar of soap in the shower. Easy access. Very private. If we had stayed longer we would have tried the fire pit area. We also like the cats, one even tried to come in the house and did get into our car when we loaded up. We would have also have liked to have found and seen her kittens but alas time. FYI: this stay is significantly away from any amenities however we did not mind. We liked the dirt road drive.

Simple but clean and adequate

I gave the house/camp 4 stars because it was not luxury living, but it what I expected/needed. It is a simple little house/camp with some upgrades. It is not luxurious by any standards and really out in the country on a dirt road (between Chimney Rock and Scott's Bluff). However, if you rent with that in mind, you won't be disappointed. The living room and kitchen are huge. It has a beautiful newly remodeled bathroom (that could use a towel rack), a new washer and dryer, and great outdoor seating on the deck or in the back by the new fire pit. Some of the screens and blinds need replacing, and the deck is a little worn, but the bed I slept in was comfortable, and the view and solitude are wonderful. As a solo female traveler, I was a bit nervous as the house is very isolated except for the other house on the property, which was empty when I arrived. I relaxed when the owner showed and very much enjoyed meeting his charming son the next day. It's not the Ritz, but you won't find anything better out there.

Cabin stay in Bayard

When I read the description, it said Scottsbluff. When I purchased the weekend it came up outside of Bayard. We spending most of our time in Morrill which was a considerable drive back and forth. The description needs to be more clear. We never would have rented so far away. When we pulled out the sofa bed there was a cigarette butt on the sheets, and when we started to remove the sheets a dead mouse fell out. I get out on farms there are field mice. I felt like before we got there things should have been checked. There was a big mouse nest on the dish towels in the drawer, along with mouse droppings. It lead us to believe that we were not comfortable using the dishes or pans. I feel like things should have been cleaned and checked before we got there. The nest was clearly seen as soon as we opened the drawer. I would not recommend this in the future.

Nice location and affordable, but needs work

"Stunning view of Chimney Rock" is an old farmhouse located on a farm outside of Bayard, NE, with the new house next door. Beautiful views of Chimney Rock and the nearby farmland. Several co-workers and I booked it for a short work trip in the area, and it was an affordable solution to our lodging needs. Pros: - Great and prompt communication from the host. Some soap etc was missing from the bathroom, and he quickly dropped some off - Easy check-in/out process - Great views, and peaceful location - Nice deck and firepit out back - Affordable cost Unfortunately, I have to point out a few cons as well: - The window in one of the bedrooms was broken. The top frame of the bottom panel of the window was completely missing, leaving a half inch gap to the outside across the entire window. We had to stuff a towel in there to keep out the heat and bugs. Additionally, the window shades were in bad shape. This is a big enough issue it should have been fixed, or at least disclosed prior to our stay. - Only one wall unit AC in the house. Not the end of the world, but the bedrooms do get a bit warm. This could be improved by putting a couple fans in the house probably. Overall, this house met our needs, but has some issues that should be addressed. We weren't expecting anything fancy, but a completely broken window should be addressed.
