Our stay at this beautiful, historic home was fabulous. Nice big kitchen, quaint,cozy family room and very clean. Our three cars were easily parked in the back of the house. The location was close to many local restaurants and easy access to dodge and the interstate. We walked around the area and took in the beauty of the neighborhood. I would recommend this property 100%.

We stayed in the colonial for a girl's trip (5 friends). The property was perfect. It was clean and quiet. We loved all of the space - leisure time in the living room, game time in the dining room. And we each had our own room. We didn't use the kitchen except for coffee, but it was stocked with everything you could possibly need if you wanted to make a meal. David was very responsive to all of my questions. It couldn't have been more perfect than it was.

This was an excellent choice for our group of 5 adults and 1 child. We had plenty of space, separate bedrooms and bathrooms, and enjoyed the spacious kitchen and dining room together. The drive to the zoo each day was easy, and the delivery services we used had no issues with finding the location. Parking was easy too. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable! The owner was easy to contact through messaging on VRBO, and the check-in and check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. Staying at this location saved us hotel fees and the additional cost of having to eat out. Thank you for your hospitality!

We really enjoyed this VRBO. The house itself is just fun. It’s age and character and flow and size. All of it worked very well for us. We also loved the location. We enjoyed our walks, in the neighborhood and also to ice cream. David was very kind to work with; and he communicates in a timely manner. We had a great time in Omaha and would definitely stay here again.

This is a terrific place to stay. Located in the Gold Coast area of Omaha, it is a short walk to the Blackstone area with it's dining and nightlife options. The host was easy to deal with and a great communicator. We may very well stay here again in the future.

Perfect Long Weekend Getaway

The house was beautiful and spacious enough to allow for two adults and three teenagers to spread out when needed, but also spend time together in the living space. Great location, extremely quick response from host when any questions arose. Would recommend to others and stay again when in the area next.

About the host

Hosted by David Gaupp

Host profile image
I have spent over 23 years in communications and fintech and left the corporate world in October of 2022 to pursue new goals and dreams. My parents were in real estate and the hotel business when I was a young boy and I have decided to get back to my family roots and venture into the hospitality business. Omaha is where it starts but the plans are to grow and reach new people, places and homes that will delight and provide wonderful experiences.

Why they chose this property

I am drawn to historical areas and properties... its easy to build from scratch and in the suburbs but that is not my desire or passion. I enjoy working with historical properties to bring them back to life, or to provide the ability for others to experience their charm and quirkiness... they all talk and they all have something wonderful to say or tell us about our pasts. The Colonial A Historic Home is no different. It was built in the early 1900's by the now famous architects The McDonalds. A father son team, who built many Omaha mansions, famous downtown buildings as well as the famous Joslyn Museum.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location. The Colonial A Historic Home, is conveniently located to all Omaha burrows; Gold Coast, Blackstone, Mid Town, Down Town, Old Market, Dundee and Benson... all of these places are either a 12 minute Uber or Lyft or less ride and some like Gold Coast and Blackstone are walking distance. You have easy access to all interstates and beltways to reach any area you so desire. Along with location, you have an updated home with a beautiful kitchen and updated bathrooms to enjoy while sharing memories with your family.
