The kitchen was fully equipped, and we really enjoyed the wood‑burning fireplace — the stacked firewood was such a thoughtful touch. We stayed over Christmas to visit family, and the property was perfect for letting our dogs roam the acreage. We were close to town to get out to go eat or shopping.

We enjoyed spending Thanksgiving here. Inside, we liked the hunting decor and open concept of the cabin design. Outside, we liked to walk the trails and enjoy the deer, squirrels and birds that visited the property. Our host was very friendly and always quickly responded to any inquiry that we had.

Beautiful Rustic Cabin!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was cozy, clean, and in a great location outside of town but not too far outside of town. Check-in process was very easy. We will be back next time we are in the area!

Cozy Cabin and Cranes

The cabin was so clean and cozy with a gorgeous stone fireplace and comfortable furnishings. We were visiting the area to view the Sandhill crane migration, and their flight pattern was right over the cabin. The cabin was close to town but seemed remote.

Quintessential Nebraska getaway

Idyllic location on the Platte River. An Authentic experience and modern comforts combine to showcase the beauty of the Platte Valley. Close to Kearney’s endless resources and far enough removed to give guests a tranquil spot to rest, revive, and celebrate all at once.

Birdwatching in Kearney

This is a great spot to stay while watching the Sandhill Crane migration. Close to all the good birding spots! And so nice to come back and relax by the fireplace. Fully equipped kitchen. We'll be back!

I travel to Kearney for work quite a bit. This place was perfect for my family. It is so close to town yet you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The seclusion was perfect for my family and I. We enjoyed our stay and walking the trails throughout the property! 5 stars for sure!

Wonderful Property on Town Outskirts

Liked it so much we stayed an extra day. The app wouldn't let us extend the day so we messaged the host who quickly facilitated. We enjoyed the movies, games, kitchen, fireplace, and house property area to walk in. Will definitely return/recommend to others.

We found sand on the main floor throughout the cabin. After that, I swept and kept sweeping throughout our stay. NE is a sandy place. Thank you for being honest about the communication. Lighting could be improved throughout the cabin. We enjoy reading books, and I needed to be able to see in the bathroom to insert a contact lens. Lastly, the mirror on the bathroom door needs to be permanently fixed. Thank you, we found this location ideal for us.

Crane Adventure

Went to Kearney to watch the crane migration. Incredible experience. The property is ideally located as it is in the heart of crane viewing. Everything relating to the property was as advertised and very good. If I had one suggestion it would be to enhance cell service.

Awesome cablin

Our visit was for a funeral. We picked this location because we had to bring our fur baby. We didn’t want to stay in a hotel in case he barked while we were attending the funeral. The location was easy to access just on the outskirts of town. Quite little neighborhood.

That Fireplace! Wow!

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely cabin with us. A few highlights. Waking up to a family of deer along the crystal-clear creek right outside the back door. Returning from a day of hiking the trails to curl up with a movie ("Remember the Titans") in front of that incredible fireplace. The unmistakable feeling of "home" that comes across in every detail.

Quick getaway

We have made it a tradition to stay here with our kids every fall. It started as just a close to home getaway since the kids were so little and it turned into an annual tradition. We keep coming back because the setting is just so wonderful. Secluded yet close to town! The cabin is always so welcoming and comforting. Our host reached out about the coffee pot being broken and asked if we needed one. We said yes we would like to have coffee and she brought one right away. So much fun stuff for little kids. We even saw some wildlife, a raccoon in the creek bathing. It was so cute! We hope to help this tradition for years to come.

Nice but weird

Beautiful Cabin. But.... No Closets...No Hooks...No Coat rack. Had to lay our suitcases on the floor and hang clothing on the stair rail. Nice Queen Bed upstairs...but beware older folks, you have to go downstairs to pee at night ! Nice shower. Nice dishes. Great fireplace.Dining table nice...but no light above it; too dark to play cards. TV "antenna " work good...once we figured it out ! ( input which when u change channels...count to 10 to wait for channel to "come in". Instructions woild have been Nice !. Fyi teflon coming off in sauce pan. Should listi g not have to say " No WiFi"??Lovely to see and hear Sandhill Cranes fly overhead.
