Rusty Flatts-Countryside Retreat Just Outside Grand Island – Sleeps 1 to 8
Welcome to our newly remodeled countryside retreat, located just minutes from Grand Island, Nebraska. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom in 2025, this home blends modern comfort with rustic charm, making it the perfect getaway for families, small groups, or anyone looking for peace and quiet less than 4 miles off of interstate 80 and 2 miles from the new hospital just outside of the city limits. Located along a paved blacktop road, you will have no issues with keeping your vehicles clean during your stay. The home sleeps up to 8 guests and includes three bedrooms plus a loft area. Two bedrooms have king beds, one has a queen bed, and the loft features another queen bed. All furnishings and finishes are either brand new or fully restored. The west-facing deck is a favorite spot to relax, offering beautiful sunset views and the chance to see deer, turkeys, and quail across the property’s two scenic acres. Let's not forget the perfect place to view the star lit skies away from the city lights. Along with all of that, keep in mind you will need to book early for spring Sandhill Crane migration as this location is absolutely as good as it gets for the amateur or professional crane migration follower. Inside, you’ll find open living and dining areas that make it easy to gather together, with large windows that bring in natural light and frame the countryside views. For kids—or anyone who enjoys movie nights and games—there’s a dedicated gaming room with a 50-inch TV. The property also offers plenty of parking space for trailers, RVs, or boats. With advance notice, a pen for horses or livestock could be arranged if you are traveling with them. However we do not allow any pets, service or support inside the home to assure a dander free environment for those who have allergies to animals. While the setting is very quiet and private, Grand Island is only a short 5 minute drive away for shopping, dining, and events. Whether you’re visiting family, attending a local event, or simply need a relaxing escape, this countryside home combines space, comfort, and country charm in a way you won’t find in a hotel. For your security and ours we do have 1 ring security camera located on the south side of the home facing into the driveway under the eave to the right of the south French doors. It does not have any view of the interior of the home in any way. It does not compromise any privacy during your stay as we want you to feel comfortable and safe in every way. ( Instructions to turn it off during your stay are on the Refridgerator door in the kitchen if you do not want it on. ) Like our VRBO we have in the Black Hills of South Dakota ( # 483555 ) we have went over and above to make this a home that will for sure make your stay as comfortable as possible while you are our guest large or small.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

It was a beautiful place to stay. We were in town for a graduation at Hastings College. There was 7 adults and everyone had plenty of room. I would definitely recommend this house. We got to watch a couple of deers, and a turkey walking around the property in the mornings.

What a wonderful place to stay! The house was super clean, slept 8 adults comfortably, and had beautiful views of the country side. Both Kevin and Karen were very responsive and answered any questions that we had. If you are traveling to the Grand Island area, this is the place to stay!!

It was a great place for a group. There are 4 beds. One bed is on the balcony but it seemed private with a half bath right there. The other bedrooms were comfortable and private. The bathrooms were great and plentiful. Kevin and Karen were easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions. The setting is in the country. 10 minutes to Grand Inland. We were there for the crane migration and there were plenty of cranes between the VrBO and Rowe Sanctuary which was a 45 minute drive. Very clean and kitchen big enough for a couple people to both be cooking

Host answered all of my questions in a timely manner. We took a 3 genration trip out here to see the cranes. The home worked great for our needs. Enjoyed it being away from town, but close enough to run in to eat and any shopping anyone felt like doing. You could see the cranes in the field just a little ways away from the house. It was close enough to take a road trip and see more as well. Granddaughters enjoyed the 'playground' as the 2 year old called the swing set. The game room was also a hit with them. It was a clean and comfortable stay!

This is a very clean and comfortable stay. It’s minutes from many amenities in the area. When we arrived (there were 5 of us) the home was very clean, warm and inviting. The guys enjoyed the gaming room! I’ll tell my coworkers about this place and will stay again when I’m in the area again
