Great Property

We use VRBO frequently -- throughout the US and internationally -- and this property is absolutely the best overall experience. Communication with the owner is excellent, the location is spectacular, the house is always immaculate when we arrive and there is so much to do on site. Staying at the Cliff House is an amazing experience!

The Cliff House is just the perfect spot for a trip to the lake with family or friends. The location is so convenient, the layout of the house is amazingly accommodating and the outdoor space is great. It has everything you need and it is always spotless on arrival. It is a true gem!

Great place off the beaten path

We loved staying at the Cliff House. We spent our time at Ogalala beach during the day then went back and cooked our meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Kids entertained themselves in the yard most of the time and at night we enjoyed the stars. The views of Lake Mac weren't too bad either! Great getaway.

2nd Annual Family Vacation

This was our second stay at this cabin with our kids and grandkids. The deck views and close proximity to Lake McConaughy are our favorite part. This cabin fits our family perfectly with its 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The basement ping pong table, pool table, darts & air hockey provide plenty of entertainment. We will definitely be booking another stay next summer.

It has it all

A clean and comfortable house, with a fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful view of the lake from the deck/yard. The drink refrigerator on the deck is an added bonus. Easy access with generous parking (boat parking friendly). A game room in the basement for all ages. Great communication with the owner!

Peaceful & relaxing!

We have stayed at this property before and looked forward to staying here again. There is so much space with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us as well as a spacious basement with air hockey, pool, ping pong & darts. There is also a great movie-watching area that we have not used but it is nice that it is available. We have found that this is one of the better stocked kitchens in houses we have rented, with all kinds of pans, baking/casserole dishes, and spices and supplies for cooking and baking. We will definitely stay here again!

Great spacious house

Wonderful large house. It had everything we needed. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, it made it easy to cook for everyone. The deck and the views were so nice. We brought our boat plenty of room to park. Caught some fish too! The game room was so much fun. The sound of my adult kids laughing and having so much fun is a memory I will cherish. Thank you so much.

Awesome Girls Weekend

When we drove up, we were overwhelmed with the view, the relaxing deck, and the privacy. 4 of us from Colorado Springs and 3 of us from Lincoln have meet at Lake Mac for 10 years now. This is our 1st time at this place, but definitely not the last. We are already excited for our next year of fun at The Cliff House. The "everything you can ever need/want" in the kitchen and the games in the basement were a for sure plus for us. Thanks so much Jerry for the great communication and detailed instructions. Best VRBO ever.

Jerry is in communication with me at all times and we were even able to check in a little early. Everything was very clean, and we had everything that we needed, plus more. It is a perfect place with beautiful scenery for our girl's trip. We celebrated our 11th year of getting together, for some golf, and boat/beach time. We will be back next year.

This was our 4th stay at this property and we will definitely be back. We love hanging out on the massive deck enjoying the view overlooking the bluffs and lake. The cabin is only a few miles from Lake McConaughy where we spend our days fishing and tubing. The cabin easily accommodates our family of 7 for a relaxing summer vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Snow

Host profile image
We have been coming to the lake for 40+ years and finally have a home base that we are excited to share!

Why they chose this property

The views are breathtaking. Bought the view and the house came with it. This 8 acre very private property is lined with pine trees, the driveway is lined with ash trees and it feels like you are arriving at a very special place!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Spectacular views from the deck and landscaping all around the house, including a grass yard. Close to Lake McConaughy boat ramps, beaches and Bayside Golf Club. Close to the town of Ogallala, Nebraska.
