Everything was fantastic! They did a great job of fixing up the house with modern fixtures, with 3 baths and space for up to 8 to sleep comfortably. They have it stocked well even with Kleenex, plenty of pillows and towels, and fans! It was very clean and had seating for several to relax at once. There was plenty of hot water and the TV and Wifi worked great! Big Brutus is close by and a great place to tour. McCune Farm to Market was not far with milk, eggs, homemade pastries, and a restaurant. Thank you!

This place is a little off the beaten path but it was wonderful! We needed a spot to stay for a local ball tournament. The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The host went above and beyond to help accommodate my girls and I! We will definitely stay here if we need to come back to the area overnight!

Great hunting/ fishing lodge

Super quiet neighborhood, cozy, clean, comfortable home. There was a slight musty smell. Some of this is most likely related to the excess of rain the area appeared to be blessed with recently and standing water adjacent to the home. This is a great location for the hunter or fisher.

Perfect meet up spot for local family

We live in Omaha, but have a daughter in Scammon. We rented the Jones Lodge for the weekend as a gathering spot for us, her family and my parents to celebrate the holidays. It is less than 10 minutes away so was no problem for them to come for the day and go home for the night. The house had everything we needed for holiday meals and baking. We will definitive back again for our next family visit.

It was a very comfy place to stay. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Overall very clean. There were a few ants in the shower when we arrived, but they were quickly disposed of. The only challenges were watching tv when the ac unit was going; it was extremely loud. Be prepared as there is no garbage disposal so think ahead when cleaning up after a meal. Overall we had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Would recommend if staying in the area.
