Perfect home away from home

We booked this to visit family that lives in Gretna. It was exactly what we needed and well priced! Great host, very accommodating and would recommend (as long as we aren’t looking to book at the same time, because I call dibs)

Cozy Home Base

This house was exactly as advertised. Like staying at your grandma's house but better. Cute, homey, clean, well stocked and comfortable for our family trip. The location was great for our purposes and I appreciated the quiet neighborhood even more during a busy weekend. The hosts were good with communication and the house was well stocked. We would definitely stay again.

Tammy is an excellent hostess. The house had everything you could imagine and was in great condition. While our reason for being in the area was for an event in downtown Omaha, the 20-30 minute drive between there and Gretna was very doable, and especially for the price point. Well worth the stay and would absolutely stay here again if I find myself in the greater Omaha area again.

White glove clean, older home with thoughtfully stocked bath, kitchen and bedrooms. Has dedicated play room/nursery for little ones, though we didn’t need for our group. Located in a very safe neighborhood and close to everything in town! It’s a short distance to freeway to Omaha and Lincoln. Would stay again.
