With ample light, a homelike living & dining area & a tranquil deck you and your guests are sure to find comfort & connectionduring your stay!

Important Things to Know About Our Home:

The bunkhouse allows guest to enjoy the unique blend of country life, while still being within 5 - 10 minutes of Kearney's restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, entertainment, fuel, etc. The ranch is easily accessible from town via paved roads, though note that the roads on the ranch leading to the bunkhouse as well as the bunkhouse parking lot are gravel.

The bunkhouse and entire surrounding premises are non-smoking of any kind. As such, this home is not a good fit for people who smoke.

The bunkhouse is pet friendly with some limitations in place to ensure that the home does not feel like a pet home to non-pet guests. Specifically, pets are not allowed in the carpeted parts of the home or on furniture. Various gates are provided to ensure that pets remain on the linoleum floored areas of the home only or outside in the large provided dog run. As well, all pets must be well behaved and not have an nuisance or otherwise destructive behaviors. Guests should indicate the plan to bring a pet in the booking reservation and an additional pet fee will apply.

The location of the bunkhouse on the ranch offers privacy and a serene, secluded location, though guests should expect the occasional passing by of ranch vehicles/machinery, ranch personnel, and horses and/or goats as a part of the daily working ranch operations.

The bunkhouse is located on an active working horse ranch allowing guests to enjoy the sights and sounds of a western style ranch amidst a lovely pastoral setting. Guests may observe the horses and goats, but feeding, petting or otherwise interacting with any of the animals in an unsupervised manner is prohibited.

The bunkhouse is accessed via a gravel road which is accessed through an automatic gate with a code. The code for entrance will be sent prior to arrival.

The bunkhouse shares the parking lot with a single RV site which may, at times, have an RV/camper in it during a guests stay.

Although we welcome children and infants please note that the home has not been baby-proofed, though we do now provide some baby travel essentials for guests use. Horses and goats travel on the road in front of the bunkhouse and there is also a seasonal water canal. As such, children should never be left unattended outside.

There are security cameras throughout the ranch, but please note there are no cameras at the bunkhouse to respect the privacy of our guests.

The ranch is within an 1/8 of a mile to the entrance of Cottonmill Lake State Park allowing guests to enjoy park access within a short walk or very short drive. The park offers hiking, biking, fishing, boating, frisbee golf, playgrounds, BBQ pits, swimming (seasonal), a nature barn (seasonal), wildlife viewing and more!

The ranch is within 5 minutes of the University of Nebraska Kearney.

The ranch also provides excellent access to Sandhill Crane viewing areas such as Fort Kearny (15 minutes) and Rowe Sanctuary (25 minutes). During the famous spring crane migration cranes also frequently fly directly over the ranch and feed in the neighboring corn fields.

    The bunkhouse was perfect for us. It was an annual family hunting trip for a bunch of guys. There were plenty of beds, nice kitchen area and a large dining room table. The dining room table was a great feature for us because we love to play cards at the end of the day and we could all fit around the table.

    The Be Well Bunkhouse was clean and spacious and in a perfect location for coming to Nebraska to see the Sandhill Crane stopover/migration and the Prairie Chicken Lek at Prairie Wind Birding Tours.

    Lovely place to stay. Horses and goats were a hit with everyone. Close to bike trails, which were awesome. Rowe center and Crane trust were 20 to 30 minute drive. Communication with our host was good. I would highly recommend.

    Emily was great. There was a bunch of us in town for my mom to have open heart surgery. It was perfect as people were coming and going throughout the week. It also had a full kitchen which was wonderful to be able to feed everybody after spending the whole day at the hospital! It worked out perfectly for our family.

    We were going to end up in Kearney for our middle daughters District Gymnastics competition and decided to make a weekend of it and invite the oldest two kiddos as well. Everything was perfect. The place was cozy and quiet. We enjoyed the big table the most. There was room for all for meals and games. Good times had and we will be back for future visits.

    The bunkhouse was very nice, clean, and well-stocked. It was perfect for our group of 4, plenty of room and very comfortable. Most of our time was spent away, viewing Sandhill Cranes, but the time we were there, was very good. The host was very responsive to my questions, which is always a huge bonus!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Be Well Bunkhouse! The home had everything we needed to cook our food and sleep in comfy beds. The horses and goats were a delight to see each day. We were very close to many crane viewing locations. The home was very clean and comfortable and the owner very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
