About the host
Hosted by Ally
Born and raised in Omaha, I love everything this city offers —especially in summer! From local festivals and splash pads to zoo visits and nights in the Old Market, there's always something to do. I know the best spots for families, couples, and weekend getaways. When I’m not hosting, I’m with my husband and two kids—usually chasing fireflies or at a ball game. I’m here to make your stay easy, comfortable, and full of memories!
Why they chose this property
This home holds a special place in our hearts—it belonged to my grandparents, and we spent countless summers here growing up. Some of our favorite memories were just minutes away: exploring the Zoo, cheering at the College World Series, and watching Fourth of July fireworks from the covered porch. The neighborhood is peaceful, close to all the action, and full of that classic Omaha charm. It’s the perfect spot for making summer memories of your own!
What makes this property unique
What makes this home truly special is the blend of comfort, character, and family history. We’ve lovingly updated it to keep its charm while adding modern touches for today’s travelers. The screened-in porch is our favorite summer hangout, and we hope it becomes yours too!
