About the host
Hosted by Kevin Houtwed / Karen Houtwed
We live less than 3 miles from this location on the south edge of Grand Island, making it very easy to get in touch with us, while visiting this country cabin. We are a family that loves to find old things and give them new life through restoration or by using them to decorate as they are. You will see the 1951 Ford pickup in the front yard when you pull into the driveway. This old truck was my neighbors back on the farm where I grew up in Ruskin, Nebraska. As early as I remember I watched this truck drive by our farmyard on those old bumpy gravel roads.
My wife grew up in Dodge City, Kansas where she came from a large family of 8. She is retired from teaching school. She taught English and secondary resource for well over 30 years.
Myself, I own a company called Hotwood's. We manufacture many things including pontoon boats, docks and wire winders for livestock fencing. I started that in college and have owned it now for 38 years.
We are both very happy to share this newly remodeled cabin with you and hope you will find it as your home away from home.

Why they chose this property
We chose this area because of the countryside setting that has wide-open pastures on 2 sides and a wooded area across the road. It is truly a very unique location as you can have turkeys and deer in the yard every night. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the top deck watching the sun fall from the sky and listen to the bobwhite quail calling to covey for the evening while the coyotes are howling off in the distance as the night grows near. It is like being a long way out in the country when you are really only 2 minutes from the new hospital or 6-7 minutes from shopping and some of the best restaurants you could ever want. And do not forget we are also less than 10 minutes from the Nebraska State Fairgrounds and Casino. This property also offers a small pasture that we really enjoy and also gives us plenty of room to park trailers or ride your horse if you are traveling with one. There is so many reasons we chose this property to build and create a VRBO that it is hard to explain, so we will let you tell us after you have enjoyed your stay.
What makes this property unique
The most unique thing here, is the fact that you are so close to everything, but yet a thousand miles from the public. It really feels that way as we both like rural settings, we also like to be close to the action and this home gives you just that. You will find very nice artwork on the walls along with items like the old trunk on the loft, that was the very trunk my grandmothers family brought everything they owned from Sweden to Ellis Island in the mid 1800's. The old school desks we restored and use for night stands. These were purchased in 1984 when Ruskin High School had their auction. I paid 50 cents a piece for them. You will find a lot of interesting items and antiques at this property when you make it your home away from home.
