The cabin was so clean and cozy with a gorgeous stone fireplace and comfortable furnishings. We were visiting the area to view the Sandhill crane migration, and their flight pattern was right over the cabin. The cabin was close to town but seemed remote.

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!

We had another fantastic and relaxing stay! The cabin provided a great way to decompress after the holidays, sitting mesmerized by the warm, crackling fireplace. Top on our list to recommend to friends and family.

Liked it so much we stayed an extra day. The app wouldn't let us extend the day so we messaged the host who quickly facilitated. We enjoyed the movies, games, kitchen, fireplace, and house property area to walk in. Will definitely return/recommend to others.

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.
