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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Close to everything in Kearney!
We LOVED this cabin! It was truly off the beaten path, and a delight to vacation in. Dog friendly, there were multiple tie outs, dog houses, extra outside bowls, and plenty of things to sniff around the property! Our family enjoyed the spacious living room, and everyone slept well throughout our stay. There are trains nearby, but we have trains where we live, too, so train sounds to me are quite comforting! We will definitely book again next year when we come back out to visit family. So much to do in the area! We bowled, fished, hiked, went shopping, and ate at Alley Rose which was a great place! The house had everything we needed, and we watched a different movie every night with the DVD library provided! FUN!

Sandhill crane getaway
My wife and i wanted to witness the sandhill crane migration and this cabin was the perfect spot. Quiet, just on the outskirts of town but still close to everything. Sandhill cranes flew over every mornng and evening A field nearby was a staging area for them every morning. Cabin was comfortable. A great place to relax and enjoy nature.

Easter dinner with our UNK students
The location and property was perfect for us to have a home away from home Easter dinner. The weather was windy but with the setup of the property we were able to be outside the enjoy the sun all day as well as a beautiful sunset! We had an added bonus of crane watching as they fly right over this location.

Crane watching trip
This is a quiet and cozy spot. We spent all day hiking trails and watching sandhill cranes. It was great to come back to build a warm fire, cook a nice meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and get a good night's sleep!
