Plus, two "bean bag" chairs/beds (see pictures) turn into full size floor mattresses. Put them wherever you want in the home.
The dining room and kitchen are built and furnished for large or small gatherings of friends and family. New stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen, knives, plates, pans and platters, make food prep fun and easy. A large dining room table with 6 chairs can take even more seating if you pull 8 gaming chairs from the game table in the family room basement.

Comfortably Nice
Booked a stay for the whole family. We had our children, grandchildren, and grandparents for a trip to the zoo. There were accommodations for everyone. We were all comfortable and together without being crowded. The space was nice without being so nice you were scared to touch anything. Just what we were looking for.

Convenient, comfortable and good value!
The home is lovely and the owner easy to reach. The location was just what we needed and really suited the young mom and baby who were with our group. It was not as ideal for the over 70 folks. Stairs were a bit challenging and there is no bathroom on main floor. The kitchen power is a bit funky. A breaker easily trips if more than one item is in use ie. microwave and toaster or tea kettle. Overall I would still recommend it and stay there again depending on the mix of people in our group.

Family friendly, close to attractions
Stayed here for 2 nights. 5 adults, 5 children (Age 2-8). Nice location, plenty of off street parking. Kitchen is fully stocked, pack and play for baby, two additional queen air mattresses. Full bath upstairs and half bath in basement with full laundry. No bathroom on main floor which was not an issue for us at all, just mentioning it for the elderly, etc. that may be looking at the property. Beds are all extremely comfortable.

Hospitable and Convenient!
We were in town for the Berkshire shareholder event. We found this listing pretty late when demand was high and listings were limited. I’m so glad this property was available. The house was very conveniently located near the airport and convention center/downtown. Access was simple, instructions were clear, and Carol, our host, even had a fruit plate and meat/cheese plate waiting for us…which was awesome bc we had all missed dinner due to our late arrival! Thanks so much Carol

Charming home, great location
Great little house that worked perfectly for my family and a few of my daughters teammates to stay at for state wrestling. Super close to CHI Center. Very clean. Open areas to hang out and lots of parking space. Communication with owner about check in was excellent and very helpful. Highly recommend. Only thing to keep in mind that the bathrooms are upstairs and in the basement, none on the main level, if stairs are an issue for anyone in your group. 5 stars! We would definitely stay again!

Comfy
Property manager was great with any questions we had.
We played cards in the living room basement on the poker table. Both of the living rooms were big enough for our whole family to hang out and enjoy and to watch the game on the big tv.
Comfy beds, big driveway and within 10 minutes to the Omaha Zoo and attractions. What more could you ask for!
