A Relaxing Stay

This home was everything we were looking for: peaceful, relaxing, and strategically located. The owner was attentive and responsive. The home was spacious, with lots of activities. We especially loved the turkeys that meandered across the lawn! Our stay was everything we were hoping for and we would stay here again!

Making Beautiful Memories

We met from many states for a family reunion. Beautiful charming farmhouse with lots of space for gathering. Kitchen had everything, beds comfortable- it was absolutely perfect for a large group! Grateful to have found this home tucked just outside of the Omaha metro. Thank you for sharing your family home with all of us!

Christmas Chaos Reunion

They came from New York, Idaho, Chicago, and Omaha. They ranged in age from one to seventy one. They ate, drank, and were merry. They enjoyed being family together, which only happens every two years at best. They thoroughly enjoyed every minute at the big house. Thank you, Anna, for providing us the opportunity to be family.

Family reunion vacation

My family gets together at a different VRBO every other year for a week long vacation. This house is easily one of the nicest that we’ve stayed at since we started. Plenty of room to spread out, but also wonderful common areas where we could come together. The pool and foosball tables were big hits with everyone! The property manager/owner was also one of the nicest that I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. And the setting around the house is gorgeous. All in all, an absolute 5 star experience.

We had a family wedding to attend nearby and stayed here with multiple family members. Everyone absolutely loved their accommodations and the common spaces where they could visit and enjoy everyone's company. Staying here so close to the wedding venue allowed us to enjoy every minute of the event we all traveled so far to attend. Highly recommend!

Wedding Weekend Sanctuary

My daughter got married at The Fountains over the weekend and my family stayed here Friday and Saturday night. Check in was very easy and the information on how to do that was timely and detailed. The house was large enough to find room for the whole family to relax and get ready for the wedding and then rest afterwards. The large game room was a hit with the teens and helped pass the time. The entire house was beautiful and clean. Anna was a great hostess and we really appreciated the opportunity to stay there.

Family get together

Absolutely amazing house! So comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. They had everything we could need and were wonderful communicating with us. Their house manual was so helpful. We had family all stopping by to visit, play games and hang out. It was the perfect space for my loud family to talk for hours and have fun without bugging neighbors! We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.
