The home was beautiful and I loved the decor. My grandchildren had so much fun looking for the little hidden treasures in the house. The parking area was so convenient. We felt right at home. Being able to have family meals without the hassle of going out is just so appreciated.

Beautiful, well maintained home. Everything we needed was already there. Parking was easy and convenient. There is road noise (mostly people revving their engines down dodge st), but overall we would recommend the location. Thank you, Wendy and Tiger!

Family wedding landed us in Omaha with children and adults alike. House is roomy, kitchen is well equipped and location is terrific! Books and puzzles abound for “the littles” and we all enjoyed watching the cousins play. A great spit for families!

Another great stay!

This is our 2nd time staying in this beautiful home, and it was just as fabulous as the 1st one! Tiger and Wendy are top notch hosts, providing all the necessities and then some, and always a local treat of fresh bread. The house is full of character and there's so much to appreciate that you're always noticing something new!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas trip to Omaha at Tiger’s and Wendy’s home. The restoration is simply amazing and my family had lots of fun just looking around and enjoying the beautiful house. Located right in Blackstone historic district with lots of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Tiger and Wendy are the perfect hosts. We will definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous home in a great location

We had a girls trip to Omaha and the house was perfect for our group! There was plenty of space and the bathrooms were recently remodeled and in great condition. The Blackstone District is steps away. I would absolutely rent this home again. The pictures don't do it justice, there is so much space. The bedrooms and living areas are large! The owners were very responsive as well.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and Steven (Tiger) Buchholz

Host profile image
Married with 3 children and 4 granddaughters, we've done home improvement projects through our lives, but this is the biggest one we've tackled together. This is something very different than our "real" jobs (restaurant/pub manager and healthcare) and it has been a joy to see this property come back to life

Why they chose this property

We were presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this property just as the Blackstone District was coming back to life. We've worked tirelessly to keep the historic feel while making it modern enough to be comfortable for our guests.

What makes this property unique

The location allows easy access to so many of Omaha's sought after events and venues. Off street parking is a bonus in this bustling neighborhood as is a yard for kids to play. As a family who has stayed in multiple VRBO properties, we've made note of what we like and needed and have tried to provide all those things for our guests.
