About this property
Centrally Located Home With Self Check-In
We would "whale-y" love to host you in this completely charming home in central Lincoln. A keyless entry makes check-in a breeze!
You'll have 2 bedrooms - 1 bathroom, kitchen and living room. The whole home is yours!
-THE SPACE-
Bedrooms:
We want you to have a comfortable stay! You will find 2 bedrooms in the home. Both have a king-sized bed. The first bedroom has dresser drawers in case you are staying long enough to unpack and the second bedroom has a desk. Your toughest choice is, “which room do I sleep in!” Since the home is on a busier street, we provide a sound machine, bedside fan, and earplugs to help even the lightest of sleepers.
Kitchen/Living Area:
When you are here, you will have access to the kitchen which includes a refrigerator (with ice and water) stove, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee bar and other assorted drinks and small snacks. There will also be a small assortment of breakfast items.
There is one 49" smart TV (no local channels or cable) in the home that you can sign into your streaming services.
We also have a queen sized sofa bed available that you can have in the living room area. Be sure to let us know if you would like us to make it available to you.
Bathroom and Laundry:
There will be soaps, shampoos and other various toiletries in the bathroom should you need them. You will also have access to the washer/dryer. Feel free to do a load if you need to.
Outdoors:
If you'd like to get out of the house for a while, you are more than welcome to make yourself at home in the large fenced backyard that is shared with the Little Llama house (also on VRBO) next door. There is a small park grill (bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid) as well as hammocks, a small play house, and a great big green space.
Guest access
Our goal is to provide the easiest check-in possible! The home has a passcode for the front door. This way you can access your home without worrying that you might disturb us meeting up with a key.
We want you to make yourself at home!!
You can park in the driveway - the driveway allows for 3 cars but they will need to be parked in a row which makes it a tad difficult for the 1st and 2nd cars parked in the driveway to leave.
-OTHER THINGS TO NOTE-
What to Expect:
We will be providing a booklet with information about your stay as well as our favorite places to eat or visit while you are in Lincoln.
Please don't hesitate to ask if there is something that you need! We want you to be comfortable!
Check-Out:
Check out time is 11:00 am. Late checkout may be possible depending on if the room is booked for later that day or not. So just check with us if you are hoping for a late check out. Since there is no key to return, just message us or text our cell to let us know that you have left and the home is ready to be cleaned.

About the host
Hosted by Samuel Lyon
We enjoy hospitality and welcoming people into our homes!
We are an easy-going family who lives in land-locked Nebraska but ironically really love the beach.
Sam manages the rental properties and Nicole is a stay-at-home mama to our 3 adorable kiddos and a very friendly boxer named Izzy.
We moved into our current home in 2015 and have been working on remodeling it top to bottom ever since. Fixer Upper is our jam and if we could have dinner with anyone famous, it would hands down be Chip and Joanna Gaines!
We love coffee, long weekends and finding joy in the little things in life.
