Platte River
It was wonderful to be able to walk down to the Platte River. Although the Sandhill Cranes had already left for their nesting territories, the Bald Eagle was a delightful substitute.

Came to See the Cranes
This was a perfect place for the 4 of us to stay in crane country. It would be great other times of the year too, but we were on a mission to experience the great migration. It is close to the river and there is a public viewing deck about a mile away. As 4 women in our seventies, safety is important. We felt safe there and the owners sprawling farm home is very close by. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Layout of beds probably better for a family with kids, but we made it work. One of the bedrooms has a queen and bunk beds. Although we didn't use it there is a game room with large screen TV available in this converted barn. Anne, the host, was very friendly. We bought some farm eggs to take home. We'd definitely come back.

Nebraska Paradise
The cottage is lovely, and in a gorgeous location. It was perfectly located for our first crane watching adventure! Anne, our host was wonderful and finding the cottage was easy with her directions. The cottage was immaculate, warm, comfortable, and beautifully stocked. Fresh eggs from the farm's chickens were left for us in the fridge. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders and the pair of geese on the pond. We can't wait to visit again!

Perfect Getaway
The only reason I hesitate to give a five star review is so others don’t find this place. A hidden gem for sure. Great set up for both winter and summer fun. The place was clean, spacious and taken care of. Both beds and furniture were comfortable and so not get me started when it comes to the steam shower.

This place is understated in the description. This is one of the cutest places we have stayed at and hope we get to stay again! Only regret is we didn’t get to stay longer.

Relaxation in the Country
This is a great place to stay; it is a property in the countryside, near a small town, with a two-bedroom apartment in a converted barn next to a large pond, with the owner's modern farmhouse nearby. The Platte River is a few minutes walk away (unfortunately, so is the highway, but it doesn't interfere with enjoyment of the property). Everything was clean and comfortable and the decor was tasteful, with a nice welcome basket of snacks and honey produced by bees on the property. Although I was there by myself, it would be a great place to take kids, as there are tons of things to do - a pond with kayaks and a rope to swing off of, chickens, goats, etc, as well as a large game room connected to the guest apartment. Don't miss the Pioneer Village museum in Minden, a small nearby town - a fascinating, enormous and idiosyncratic collection of 19th C buildings, carriages, antique cars and lots of other historic artifacts. Red Cloud, the town where noted author Willa Cather grew up, is also a short drive away.

Beautiful property-
At the expense of sounding cliche, I will say the pictures of the property do not convey how beautiful the property really is. Our time was short, but we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for everything!
