Sand Hill Cranes
Six of us came to see the migration of the Sand Hill cranes. This property was a perfect location for that as it was near the Crane Trust and the Rowe Sanctuary. The house was well stocked with various supplies. Easy to find. Check in was easy. One of our group needed a blow dryer and we asked the owners if there was one available and he had one for us in minutes. I would stay here again.

We have been fortunate to rent this house for the annual Husker Harvest Days. This works great for our group and makes the show less stressful. Everything in the house is in good working order and clean. Enjoyed using the grill for dinners. Thanks!

Great place to stay in Grand Island!
This home was the perfect location to stay if you have events at the Heartland Shooting Park. My son was competing in the 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships there, and it was nice to be so close with early morning shoot times. We would definitely stay again!

Farmhouse in the Middle of the Cornfields
We came to Nebraska with another family who are friends of ours to go to an OU/Nebraska football game in Lincoln, Nebraska. This location was a good place to experience what living in Nebraska was like. We loved the cornfields all around us. There is a county road at the end of the driveway that 18 wheelers come flying down so if you have small children or pets you have to keep your eye on them. It was a perfect homebase for us. We went to the Crane Trust Nature and Visitor Center and The Stuhr Museum-Prairie Pioneer. Both are in Grand Island, Nebraska. We also went to an OU/Nebraska football game in Lincoln. Then the next day we went to Cedar Bluff, Nebraska to River Life Airboat Tours which was awesome. It's on the Platte River and we saw lots of Bald Eagles. There was plenty of room in the house for 5 of us. Everything we needed was there. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed seating on the porch watching the sunrises and sunsets. I would recommend this place and if in the area again I would definitely stay here again.

We can’t say enough good things about our stay here. Crystal was always prompt in answering our pre-arrival questions. The home was perfect for us. Plenty of room, quiet surroundings and a big yard for the kids to play. We would highly recommend it to anyone else.
