In the spirit of providing full disclosure, we want to share that there are train tracks located behind our property. Rest assured that the trains that pass by are infrequent, and their noise level is typically minimal, ensuring that they won't disrupt the tranquility of your visit. These tracks are rarely used, and when they are, it is by slow-moving cargo trains (NOT Amtrak, so not the super fast and noisy kind). In fact, we have found the occasional sight and sound of passing train to be a unique and delightful part of the experience here. We look forward to hosting you and hope you enjoy the special charm that our property offers.

We had a great weekend with friends. Plenty of room to spread out and Elizabeth was a gracious host. We'll definitely keep this on the list for future trips!
Beautiful home! We had a great time. There was an issue with the theater projector, but when I contacted Elizabeth, she was quick to answer and help. We would stay again.
This was a nicely decorate home with plenty of space for our girls weekend. There was so much room to sleep quite a few people - would be great for a group of families and a lot of fun for kids. Would highly recommend this stay! Just not, parking is limited
The house was just as described—fun, clean, comfortable beds, and only about 15 minutes from major Lincoln attractions, so getting around was easy. The owners shared clear check-in and check-out info ahead of time, along with a helpful online guide.That said, we had three questions before and during our stay, but only one was answered. Also, there were no napkins and just one dish towel, so we had to buy extra paper towels. Not a big deal, but it did mean an extra trip to the store.Overall, I’d recommend the property—just bring a few extra supplies and don’t rely too much on quick responses from the owners.
