This was the PERFECT place for our family to stay. Toys and a play castle for my toddler, clean and warm for my infant, and plenty of space with a great kitchen for us. Being walking distance from the lake and close to everything we needed in Lincoln made it even more fun! The host was also super accommodating and kind for our slightly chaotic family. We loved our stay and will absolutely be back.

Some maintenance needs in the home. Not as clean as one might hope for (spider webs, ants, several areas needing wiped down or freshened up, outside back yard area not maintained with growing weeds). Beds were comfortable and rooms were stocked with toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Comfortable size overall.

Great location!

We had a nice time staying here. The beds were super comfortable and after a long day of travel-just what the doctor ordered. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Location is perfect. It’s close to everything and there’s a nice lake right across the street. I would recommend staying here and we will again!

Love this place!

Checkin was quick and easy thanks to the owner (vrbo app was doing some weird password loop and I couldn't get access there so stoked she was able to quickly help). Love the vintage house with modern upgrades. Super quiet too, so much that I didn't hear a 3" rain overnight!
