About this property

12 Bed Historic Shea House

Sleep 20 in style in this 8BR/5BA Council Bluffs home with THREE King bedrooms! 👑 Queen, full & king beds throughout for total group comfort. 🎰 Minutes from Omaha`s casinos, Mid-America Center & the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. 📶 Great WiFi, clean & comfortable, 🐾 pet-friendly. Ideal for reunions, retreats & group getaways!

Imagine the whole group under one roof 🏡 — everyone gathered for morning coffee, laughter echoing through the halls, and not a single person stuck in a cramped hotel room. This spacious 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom Council Bluffs home was made for exactly that kind of trip.

👑 With 12 beds and room to sleep 20, comfort is the name of the game here. Three separate bedrooms feature plush King beds — a rare find for a group home this size — giving couples or larger travelers their own private retreat. Round out the layout with two Queen bedrooms, two Full-bed bedrooms, and a spacious eighth bedroom combining two Queens with three additional Fulls, perfect for kids, teens, or extra guests. 🚿 Five full bathrooms mean everyone gets ready without the wait, even with a full house.

📍 You`re set up right in the heart of Council Bluffs at zip code 51501, just minutes from everything Omaha has to offer. Catch a show at Mid-America Center or Stir Cove 🎶, try your luck at Harrah`s, Ameristar, or Horseshoe Casino 🎰, snap a photo on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge 🌉, or spend an afternoon at the Union Pacific Railroad Museum downtown 🚂. This home is a natural fit for family reunions, wedding guest groups, sports teams, corporate retreats, or any crew that wants real space without compromise.

🐾 Traveling with a furry friend? This home is pet-friendly for a $250 per-pet fee (2-pet max, subject to owner approval), and pet crates are available on-site for guests traveling with pets.

📶 Great WiFi runs throughout, and the home is clean, comfortable, and ready for a big group from the moment you arrive. A few house rules to keep this a great neighbor to the community: 🚭 no smoking inside the home (outdoor smoking only, with proper cigarette disposal), and 🚫 no parties or events — this is a quiet residential property meant for restful group stays.

🎉 Three King bedrooms, five bathrooms, and space for 20 — this Council Bluffs home has it all. Book your dates today!
