Thank you Kelsey. We really enjoyed having you two. :)
We enjoyed our stay and exploring the town. We just needed a restful weekend away, and that's what we got! The hot tub is fantastic and the host was wonderful to show us all the ins and outs of how to use it four our fun weekend.
Such a cute place!! Very clean and had everything we needed and more. Walking distance to downtown, which was so nice! Everyone we talked to in town were so friendly and welcoming. Lacey was a wonderful host. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you Kristina! So happy you chose our little place to stay! We would love to host you again. 🥰
This is a very nice property, nicely decorated and in a good location. Lacey was very helpful when needed but not intrusive. I did have a hard time getting up at night because the bed was so close to the wall and found the bathtub set up difficult to use. It might not be the best choice for seniors but great for younger folks.

Hi John! Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate it. I will definitely move the bed out a little further from the wall, because that makes complete sense. :). We hope you had a nice time in Nebraska City and appreciate your business. Thank you again.
I love hosting on Vrbo because it gives me the chance to share a special piece of history with travelers from all over. There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating a space where guests can relax, make memories, and feel right at home. From the thoughtful details to the warm welcomes, it’s a joy to connect with people and help make their stay unforgettable.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offered the perfect blend of charm, history, and community. The tree-lined streets, beautiful old homes, and walkable distance to local shops and parks instantly made it feel like home. There’s a warmth here—neighbors who wave, stories behind every corner, and a slower pace that invites you to truly settle in and enjoy life.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly unique is its rich history and thoughtful restoration. Originally built in 1887, it was once part of Nebraska City’s bootlegging past, and we’ve lovingly preserved its vintage charm while adding modern comforts. From the original interior doors, elegant claw foot bathtub, to the cozy hot tub and curated décor, every detail tells a story. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that blends the elegance of the past with the comfort of the present.
