The listing was accurate and what we expected when we arrived! The hosts were easy to communicate with and gave detailed instructions! The place was well stocked and clean!
Great property for the number of people we had staying there. Plenty of space for everyone to sleep and gather for family time together. Beautiful location.

Kitchen appliances like the stove had burners that didn’t work. Lighting through out the house had unworking bulbs so more lighting in living room and kitchen was needed. The house itself was comfortable and met our needs. Thank You!!!
We recently stayed at this home for a family wedding in Ft. Calhoun. We were busy with wedding activities most of the weekend but wished we could have spent more time on the property - so relaxing and serene. Beds were comfortable, lots of spaces to either hang together or spend some quiet time. We enjoyed all of the birds (cardinals, hummingbirds, etc). It was a perfect spot for our family!

Beyond expectations and the host couldn’t have been more thoughtful
The lodge is beautiful with everything you may need. Thank you Mark for everything
Our family enjoyed staying here as we came from different states for a wedding. It allowed some of us to stay together and visit longer and the home was perfect for that. The amenities were generous and the home was very clean. It has everything you need for your stay. The location was peaceful and relaxing with beautiful grounds to walk around.
The house and surrounding grounds had plenty of space for our family get-together of 15. We loved the fire pit and outdoor seating area. The kitchen was well stocked and linens were plentiful. We had a nice relaxing weekend! Thanks!
We came around the College World Series as a central location for our families to come together. The older cousins enjoyed the outdoor space and ping pong/pool table. The adults appreciated bar area and the fire pit. It was a great getaway from the downtown life of Omaha, and a wonderful location for a family get together.
We stayed at Dancing Bear Lodge for a weekend with our kids and grandkids. There were 12 of us. It's a clean, beautiful log cabin home, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and there were a good number of well stocked, roomy bathrooms. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, dinnerware and utensils for our use. There was a treehouse play area for the kids on the property and some hiking trails. It's about a half hour away from Omaha. Communication with the owner was good. We had no complaints. It's a great place for a larger group to stay.
The stay was great, the only 2 things that were disappointing was the pool cue didn’t have good tips on them so it made it really hard to play. We’re a pretty big pool playing group so it was disappointing. The only other thing was the master bedroom felt like it had no A/C, mad it almost impossible to sleep it was so hot. Woke up both mornings sweating. Other than that it was great.
3rd yr in a row should say it all!! It's absolutely beautiful inside and out ♥️ and stocked with everything possible. Christmas in the cabin with my adult children and our 6 grandchildren is simply MAGICAL.......Christmas through the eyes of a child! ♥️ Mark, the owner is always a text away and responds immediately!! We reached out to Mark the owner in regards to a lost anniversary band and asked him to reach out to us if he found it not ever expecting to receive a call from him but we did! He was doing yard work and found the ring outside! He went above and beyond to help us locate the ring and we are soooo thankful for him! We have traveled from Dubai, UAE (United Arab Emirates) the last three yrs for Christmas to spend together at such a beautiful place! If it ever goes up for sale........WELL ♥️
The place was excellent and actually larger than we expected. Very clean and functional for our family/friends. The host was very responsive. Great property!
