Best kept secret! Comfortable home in a safe and quiet neighborhood in the hills. Perfectly located for quick and easy drive to downtown Council Bluffs, bustling activity in downtown Omaha, CHI Center, Luminarium, Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, Softball Fields, etc.

Return from a busy day of activities to a peaceful oasis. Relax on the patio, grill out and simply enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds you. Watch sunsets/sunrises on the horizon. Enjoy relaxing. Deer may wander through the yard - but they're quiet when they do.
This is best of both worlds - being on vacation with the comforts of home.
You can sleep comfortably so you're ready to do it all over again the next day!

Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking items, dishes, utensils, smoothie blender, waffle maker, etc. Icemaker in frig. Fully stocked coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Keurig, Bialetti espresso maker, regular coffeemaker- etc.

Laundry room - washer, dryer, soap/softener, iron and clothes folding table at the bottom of the stairs for guest usage.

Grocery store 3 minutes away - down the hill and around the corner for fresh perishables and big ticket items. (See Guide Book for details)

Parking in private driveway.

If you are flying in - Short drive or Uber/Lyft to downtown Omaha, Old Market, Airport, College World Series, CHI Center, Casinos, Henry Doorly Zoo, Joslyn Art Museum or Lauritzen Garden. - Best of all worlds.



IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This home is not recommended for toddlers or wildly adventurous youth. Inside: Home is not baby/toddler proofed. Stairs inside entryway lead down to laundry area and are not gated. Back patio area is edged, but not fenced. Intense hill/slope past edging. Great to watch the wildlife venture through, but extremely dangerous for wayward little feet. It is steep to the point of impassibility.
Children have stayed at the house and love watching the animals with no problems, but there are some for whom this would not be a good combo. Contact host if you have questions.

    Great spot to stay while my son participated in the Pathway Omaha tournament at the nearby community college. He stayed in the dorms with the team most of our time, so I had the place to myself and it was quite easy to make myself at home. Sharon was so helpful throughout the process - contacting me as soon as I made the reservation and providing relevant updates up to my arrival. She was also so flexible with my arrival as I was a bit uncertain how all the timing would work out. Very enjoyable stay overall!

    We truly enjoyed our stay! The home was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed for a comfortable, home-like experience. The serene patio was a perfect spot to relax and unwind—it added such a peaceful touch to our visit. The location made it easy and convenient to spend time with family in the area, and having such a cozy place to come back to each day made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay again!

    From the start Sharon was very responsive and the communication was great. She gave us great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area. She knew it was my husbands birthday and she baked him a cake and cupcakes and even decorated for him. It was such a wonderful surprise for him and the cake was delicious! The house itself was so cozy, clean, and smelled wonderful. Everything was updated and decorated with great detail. The whole family really enjoyed our stay and I really appreciated our host. Thanks Sharon for sharing your home!

    Quiet place to stay while visiting the Omaha area. Close to the zoo and other attractions, but secluded enough for a quiet stay. Very clean. We all loved it. Hosts were great with communication and care, thank you!
