Historical Mid Century Modern Home Designed By Robert Lloyd Buckles

• You love architecture and furniture design
• You want to experience the 60s while having modern day amenities
• You want to tour Route 66 or the only town named after president Lincoln prior to presidency

Please read the remainder of the description to get a full picture of our home!

Our home is setup to accommodate all your needs during your stay so all that is listed below is at the house for you to use:

• Bath Towels
• Washcloths

You will see a garage in the pictures, but the garage is closed off and not accessible during your stay. There is a driveway to park your vehicle and plenty of free street parking as well.

The home is in downtown Lincoln so please understand that it is not a completely quiet home 24/7. We are off the main strip so not as busy as other places, but you may hear some traffic and there is also a train that runs through Lincoln. The train will sound its horn periodically throughout the day and we want to be transparent that you will most likely experience that. The benefit of being so close to downtown is being within walking distance all that Lincoln has to offer. Some of our favorite places are below:
• Guest House Coffee Shop
• Joe Pizzeria
• Lincoln Movie Theater

We hope you choose to stay at our property and feel free to reach out with any question!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Accident

The title was because I accidentally booked this location but I didn’t want to cancel so I figured I’d check out Lincoln. The was a live music downtown on the Saturday it didn’t interest me because I’m handicapped and don’t get around the greatest but I’m not sure how often this is like every month or just in June but it might interest others if you can let it be known. If you did advertise it and I overlooked it then my bad. As far as your place idk about any improvements. Pretty much just slept there. Do to my health i don’t do up and down stairs so while I was there I pretty much Ed stayed upstairs, Again it was my mistake on booking but it was enjoyable

Very accommodating

The house was AMAZING and the property contact was super kind and easy to get in contact with . We had a snafu that no one could have prevented and the property owner did what needed to be done to keep us comfortable without question. I’d come back and stay again if I had the opportunity.

Funeral Stay

The place was amazing. Lots of room. 2 Exterior lights were out making it a little dark to get in at night. I also replaced a bulb in the tv room plug in lamp with a bulb in the laundry room. There is also a fixture going up the stairs that wasn’t working. With an extended stay it would also be nice if there were a couple of more dish towels for drying dishes.

Local Lincoln Vibes

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The historical townhouse was spacious and afforded us space to spread out but also spaces to gather. We loved the period details and appliances. The one drawback was the train noise at various hours, but the noise didn’t ruin our sleep. The access to Idle Hour and Guest House was particularly enjoyable. We would all gladly stay here again!
