This property was really nice and clean. The yard is really beautiful. My pups kept going outside as they loved the grass. The curtains in the living room were too shear for my taste but that seemed to be protocol for the neighborhood. The access to I-80 was easy. Definitely a great place to stay.

We had a very busy weekend scheduled in Kearney and just needed a nice comfortable place to relax in the late evening and get a good night sleep. The Cow House was perfect for this. The back yard area was comfortable with nice lighting. The house is tastefully decorated and was a nice “home away from home”. We did not have opportunity to cook or grill while there but the kitchen appears to be well appointed. All-in-all it is a nice home with some of the natural coziness of a cottage built in the early 1900s.

Another great stay!

We enjoyed another wonderful stay in this cute home. Maggie made check-in and check-out a breeze and always replies promptly. We enjoyed the spacious living room, where we could lay out and organize all of our “stuff,” and the evenings on the deck were relaxing. We’ll be back! Thanks!

Great for a little getaway

The house is very cute and welcoming. The only improvement would recommend is improve main bed. All mattresses were not comfy. Backyard was perfect for what we needed. The host communicated with us well.

Hey Crane Viewers…Great Location

The owner is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house is super clean, great hot shower, walking distance to store and a good local brewery. It is only a 20 minute drive to Audubon’s Rowe Crane Sanctuary and 20 minutes to Prairie Wind Greater Prairie Chicken tour. Kitchen has all the dishes and utensils you could need, there is a great fenced backyard for your dog and with a lighted outdoor patio. Thank you for a nice stay in Kearney.
