About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy, Clean & Quiet. Home in the Hills. Close to DT Omaha; Market; Zoo; Gardens

Best kept secret! Comfortable home in a safe and quiet neighborhood in the hills. Perfectly located for quick and easy drive to downtown Council Bluffs, bustling activity in downtown Omaha, CHI Center, Luminarium, Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, Softball Fields, etc.

Return from a busy day of activities to a peaceful oasis. Relax on the patio, grill out and simply enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds you. Watch sunsets/sunrises on the horizon. Enjoy relaxing. Deer may wander through the yard - but they're quiet when they do.
This is best of both worlds - being on vacation with the comforts of home.
You can sleep comfortably so you're ready to do it all over again the next day!

Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking items, dishes, utensils, smoothie blender, waffle maker, etc. Icemaker in frig. Fully stocked coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Keurig, Bialetti espresso maker, regular coffeemaker- etc.

Laundry room - washer, dryer, soap/softener, iron and clothes folding table at the bottom of the stairs for guest usage.

Grocery store 3 minutes away - down the hill and around the corner for fresh perishables and big ticket items. (See Guide Book for details)

Parking in private driveway.

If you are flying in - Short drive or Uber/Lyft to downtown Omaha, Old Market, Airport, College World Series, CHI Center, Casinos, Henry Doorly Zoo, Joslyn Art Museum or Lauritzen Garden. - Best of all worlds.



IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This home is not recommended for toddlers or wildly adventurous youth. Inside: Home is not baby/toddler proofed. Stairs inside entryway lead down to laundry area and are not gated. Back patio area is edged, but not fenced. Intense hill/slope past edging. Great to watch the wildlife venture through, but extremely dangerous for wayward little feet. It is steep to the point of impassibility.
Children have stayed at the house and love watching the animals with no problems, but there are some for whom this would not be a good combo. Contact host if you have questions.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Home away from home

Great spot to stay while my son participated in the Pathway Omaha tournament at the nearby community college. He stayed in the dorms with the team most of our time, so I had the place to myself and it was quite easy to make myself at home. Sharon was so helpful throughout the process - contacting me as soon as I made the reservation and providing relevant updates up to my arrival. She was also so flexible with my arrival as I was a bit uncertain how all the timing would work out. Very enjoyable stay overall!

Property owner was extremely helpful as we researched a few small activities like figuring out logistics of visiting a local vineyard.

From the start Sharon was very responsive and the communication was great. She gave us great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area. She knew it was my husbands birthday and she baked him a cake and cupcakes and even decorated for him. It was such a wonderful surprise for him and the cake was delicious! The house itself was so cozy, clean, and smelled wonderful. Everything was updated and decorated with great detail. The whole family really enjoyed our stay and I really appreciated our host. Thanks Sharon for sharing your home!

Definitely recommend this cute little gem. Just a short little vacation for my Mom, son, husband n I. But it was worth it. This house was fully stocked with items I've never seen before when we have rented other homes. Very quite area, and perfect location! Not far from Old County Market. Lots of nice restaurants too choose from. Zoo, the next day, Bob Kerry Bridge, and a few Casinos, all where fairly close. I was very impressed! Thank you for having us:)

Peaceful stay close to the city

The house was cozy and very welcoming. Sharon was very helpful throughout the stay, offering us recommendations about what to do and answering any questions we had. She even had music playing when we arrived. The house was very clean and organized and had everything we needed. It was only about a 15 minute drive to Omaha, which was perfect for our relaxed mini vacation to the city. The only downside was the road to get to the house. It was a very steep one lane road. This wasn’t an issue, but definitely a surprise to us. We’d 100% stay here again, steep road and all!
