The space

Stunning lodge on 5 acre wooded lot. Our custom log house makes you feel like you're in a state park but has all the comforts of high-end, modern living. We are 25 minutes from Omaha restaurants, bars, and shopping. 25 minutes from Eppley Airport!

Enjoy the grand view of the Missouri River Valley and bluffs from our wrap around deck. Sip coffee from one of the many private balconies while enjoying sweeping views. Soak in the master bedroom jetted tub. Cook dinner in our granite, stainless, double-oven kitchen. Roast marshmallows in the fire pit. Walk the land with our very well maintained trails.

We have 4 private bedrooms (1 king room, 3 queen rooms--2 of which also have 2 twins) and an open loft with a double pullout sofa, for a total of 9 mattresses. Each room is decorated with furniture built from trees sourced on the land. There are two dining rooms (indoor and outdoor), a pool table & ping pong table, a bar with wine fridge, a fireplace, a wood burning stove, 2 car garage and large driveway, and ample grounds to explore.

Guest access

Guests will have access to the entire 5 acres and the 4000 sf log house.

I can be available at check in if needed. Otherwise I will provide check in information before your stay so you can check in any time.

Don't forget to trek up to the lookout point for a 360 degree breathtaking view, and catch your breath with a glass of wine on the bench swing built at the highest point on the property.

Interaction with guests

I provide a door code for house access. I am available by phone or over the app.

The neighborhood
The home is located in Fort Calhoun,Nebraska,United States.

The acreage feels secluded and private. It has heavy tree growth and we leave most of the property to grow wild. The lot is at an incline, and the house sits high so there are great views from our many balconies. You are welcome to walk the trails on our property. It's fun to explore!

More information
Getting around

Fort Calhoun is a small, friendly Nebraska town right outside Omaha. We are a short drive to the airport, restaurants, and nightlife of Omaha--about 25 minutes by highway-- but you will feel like you are worlds away from the city while at our property!

While in Fort Calhoun, be sure to check out Fort Atkinson State Historical Park--40 acre park rich in Lewis and Clark history and one of Nebraska's earliest settlements.

On your way to our property you will pass Super Bee Orchard--be sure to stop for a homemade pie, fresh peaches or apples, and local honey!!!

The town has 2 gas stations and some restaurants that are worth checking out.

    We recently stayed at this home for a family wedding in Ft. Calhoun. We were busy with wedding activities most of the weekend but wished we could have spent more time on the property - so relaxing and serene. Beds were comfortable, lots of spaces to either hang together or spend some quiet time. We enjoyed all of the birds (cardinals, hummingbirds, etc). It was a perfect spot for our family!

    Our family enjoyed staying here as we came from different states for a wedding. It allowed some of us to stay together and visit longer and the home was perfect for that. The amenities were generous and the home was very clean. It has everything you need for your stay. The location was peaceful and relaxing with beautiful grounds to walk around.

    We stayed at Dancing Bear Lodge for a weekend with our kids and grandkids. There were 12 of us. It's a clean, beautiful log cabin home, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfortable and there were a good number of well stocked, roomy bathrooms. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, dinnerware and utensils for our use. There was a treehouse play area for the kids on the property and some hiking trails. It's about a half hour away from Omaha. Communication with the owner was good. We had no complaints. It's a great place for a larger group to stay.
