Great place

We have really enjoyed staying at this cabin. Great location, close to the grocery store, gas station and restaurant/bar. The cabin is spacious, clean and well equipped for all of our needs. My local relatives were pleased to know about this place and will no doubt refer friends and other family members to stay here. Thanks so much!

Unbelievably supportive and Caring Host

The Kinsmen Lodge hosts were the best hosts I have ever dealt with. They went out of their way to make our stay the best possible, and the Lodge was perfect. The Kinsmen Lodge and the owners are absolutely top ten and deserve the highest recommendations!

Fantastic cabin

Good location. Wish that there was another full or queen bed- but all worked out. Items from previous guests left in shower and fridge, but also not a big deal. Enjoyed the feeling of home instead of a motel. Thanks!

Everything was good. However hot water line should be refreshed. Also, entrance border from the street should be lowered.

The village of Niobrara water supply has a high sulphur content and has nothing to do with my hot water heater, I’m sorry if the slight odor inconvenienced you.

Great property

This place is amazing. Extremely clean and to say well stocked is an understatement. Lovely furnishings and appliances. We went to play golf at Tatanka but the weather did not cooperate. We fully intend returning in the summer or fall and would not hesitate in using Mark's place again. Mark himself is terrific to deal with and a really nice bloke into the bargain. Thanks again for letting us use your awesome place.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Wilkins

Host profile image
My family and I live in Omaha, NE and have been vacationing and recreating in the Niobrara area for about twenty years now loving every minute of it. I retired from law enforcement a few years ago after my wife and I started a successful small business which I currently run. Both of us are native Nebraskan's and have lived here our entires lives. We strive to be a resource for your stay and are happy to assist in planning any activities.

Why they chose this property

In 2016 we decided to build a cabin duplex to make our stays more comfortable and relaxing after our days having FUN! At the same time we wanted to encourage others to come to the area we love so much by providing top notch accommodations for them too. To realize that vision we built matching cabins in the form of a duplex. What we have to offer our guests is a peaceful place to stay which mimics a home atmosphere. No noisy neighbors to deal with and amenities which ensure you get a good nights sleep and enjoy restful evenings. We spared no expense when building them and have routinely received compliments on how comfortable our beds, furniture and entire property is since completing the project in November of 2016.

What makes this property unique

I might be a little biased but I have traveled extensively and the Niobrara area is full of good people, beautiful scenery and an abundance of public land for recreating. When you pair that with the slower paced peaceful atmosphere it is hard to beat and is truly one of Nebraska's best kept secrets. One of the things that makes the area so beautiful is the Missouri river which I highly recommend getting out on to experience the beauty up close. There are sandbars to recreate on, swimming holes, fishing to be had and wildlife to be seen. If our guests do not have a means to get out on the water we have a 20ft boat built for the shallow water of the river which we can use to provide guided day tours for additional fees. However these are limited so booking in advance is advisable. If you have your own watercraft which you want to keep indoors I have garage space available on the property for a reasonable up charge.
