Three generations of our family truly enjoyed our stay at the Farmhouse. The nearly 130 yr old home has been beautifully restored and renovated with today's modern conveniences. Inside, things were clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The A/C was welcome indeed considering the near 100 degree Nebraska temperatures. Unlike hotel style lodging, there's plenty of room for playing board games and family meals. The expansive outdoor area was well groomed and green. An occasional passing car was the only thing to let us know we weren't totally off grid. Jeff, the host, is a warm and friendly guy. Very happy to have met him while we were there. Hattie's 1898 Homestead is highly recommended as a place to stay if you are ever in the area. Should a future need arise, we'll be back!
Hattie's Homestead was a wonderful property for our family to stay for a family gathering and some sandhill crane viewing. Very comfortable for 8 adults. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for the nice review! Merry Christmas and happy New Years!!! Stay safe and healthy
This was the location of our bi-annual family vacation. It felt like home for the Southern family as well as the Northern family. Super clean and just the right size for all of us. The perfect place to relax, do some sightseeing and visit in a peaceful setting.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our group and we really appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the out door grill. The crane migration was amazing and this house was the perfect place to stay. Minutes from the Crane Trust. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property. Convenient to Grand Island and Hastings (20 minutes or less). House is as described and well equipped with everything you would need. Hosts were quick to respond and easy to work with. Main floor bedroom and walk-in shower are a big plus for those with mobility concerns.

😂 glad you like our water pressure! We spent lots of $$,$$$ for our guest to have good water to drink and shower in.
You were great guest - house was clean and left as found. Thank you
Everything in the house was outstanding. They did a fantastic job of remodeling the home to accommodate renters.
The one small item would the the upstairs shower, kind of cramped.

Thanks Glenn for your response. The shower is on the smaller side. Several guest use the large shower on first floor.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to you returning.
We had a great stay!! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The history and pictures inside are wonderful. The owners were extremely friendly and quick to respond. They even brought us a coffee mug and a gift certificates to thank us for staying and took time to share some of the history of the home. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are in the area, and highly recommend this home to anyone else needing a place to stay in the greater Grand Island area.

Thanks for being great guest. Enjoyed speaking to your family members. Hope to see you next visit to the heart of Nebraska
We really enjoyed all the space this home has to offer! Some highlights included 3 bathrooms, plenty of seating in the kitchen plus nice outdoor seating options- all comfortable. Kitchen was laid out nicely with a chart for where to find things, good pots/pans- great for breakfast, dishwasher and story highlighting the history of the home/family. Host was very friendly and quick with all communication- everything was clean and comfortable; convenient check in and check out process.

Thanks Joy! We enjoy people who stay and have a great time. Sounds like you did and had time to relax. See you next year!
The pictures do not do this wonderful homestead justice. This lovely home has charm and can accommodate a party of 10 easily. The hosts are on top of it. They communicate and truly want you to enjoy your stay at their home. All of our needs were meet and then some. Furniture was comfortable and bedding was just right. If you're looking for a place to stay when visiting the area, we highly suggest you try this property!

This group followed all rules and kept to themselves. All House rules were followed and the place was left clean. Great group, we hope to see them next tournaments
This home exceded our expectations for convenience, comfort, and spaciousness for a family of 5. Our 6 & 7 yr old boys Loved playing outside. Sitting on the porch in the morning quiet before everyone woke up added to the joy of being with family. So Great to get out of the city, but close to the NE State Fair, had a Wonderful 3 day wknd! Thank you so much Jeff & Julie! We will Definitely book again.

The property worked great for our group of people. We were in town for a softball tournament and was able to have team get together‘s for bonding outside of playing along with team meals. I called it a beautiful home because that’s how it felt, like a home and not just a house. The owners have done a great job of decorating and providing the basics and more in the kitchen. The owners were easy to communicate with for the entire process, from booking to checking in and to checking out. We will definitely be back!

Great guest. They had a gathering of friends and when they left you couldn’t tell. They left home nice and neat! Invited them back next year!
This house is extremely clean, cozy and very well equipped. The bedrooms are quiet and the beds super comfortable. Great stocked kitchen and two kitchen tables. One makes a great card table. The countryside is serene and peaceful and watching the sunrise on the porch and the sunset out back was awesome. So close to Hastings or Grand Island. You can't go wrong staying here. All 4 of my girlfriends would good it 5 stars!
