This property is excellent!! It is exactly as described in the listing and pictures and is very well-maintained in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Communication with Sarah was wonderful and very helpful. We stayed at this property for two weeks with our dogs and have nothing but great things to say about the property. We will definitely be back, thank you so much!

Pictures were a lot nicer than what appeared. Nice backyard with fire pit was pictured, but when we arrived there was no fire pit, yard was overgrown and cobwebs everywhere. We were not able to use the outdoor space. The hall bathroom had either freezing cold or scalding hot water. We were only able to use one bathroom with 6 people. For the amount of money we paid I expected much more. I am sorry to have to post a negative review, but I do feel this is a very deceiving property from pictures posted.

Great location!

We had a nice time staying here. The beds were super comfortable and after a long day of travel-just what the doctor ordered. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Location is perfect. It’s close to everything and there’s a nice lake right across the street. I would recommend staying here and we will again!

Perfect for Nebraska games

We traveled from out of state to Lincoln for a football game. We had a wonderful stay at this property. Close to the stadium and other nearby attractions. The property was described perfectly in the communication from the host was on point. This property fit our needs wonderfully and we will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Love this place!

Checkin was quick and easy thanks to the owner (vrbo app was doing some weird password loop and I couldn't get access there so stoked she was able to quickly help). Love the vintage house with modern upgrades. Super quiet too, so much that I didn't hear a 3" rain overnight!

Perfect little house in a quiet neighborhood that met all of our needs. The home's host is great at communication and addressing any questions. Would recommend anyone visiting the Lincoln area to check out this property or any property hosted by the owners.

Relaxing

We didn't get to stay in this rental because of the weather, but the hosts worked with us and we were able to stay in a different property of theirs this weekend. The host is very responsive, respectful, and absolutely wonderful to work with. They make everything as simple as they can. Their property was absolutely spotless and well taken care of and cleaned. The neighborhood was peaceful and within a great distance of many attractions, and it was super easy to get to and from. I am 100% going to book with them they next time we are headed to Lincoln!

Family stay for funeral

The outside/yard very weedy, full of ants. Inside was tidy, but a deep cleaning is needed. Unsure if the bath mats, blankets were clean as they had an odor. Kitchen counters were sticky and needed wipe down when we got there, fridge had smell. There are zero smoke/co2 detectors in home. Dirt behind doors and in air vents, blowing cob webs. Dead ants in corners of rooms. Showers were in desperate need to attention. One was extremely hot or extremely cold, the other was rusted and shower head was almost scaled off. Fridge filter needed changed as was beeping. Paint/repairs unfinished. Scarey laundry room. Will not recommend or stay again.

Almost perfect

We really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect location for spending time with extended family in Lincoln. My only complaint is that the shower in the main bathroom was nonfunctional. The water was either hot or cold. There was no way to mix the two.
