Sand Hill Cranes

Six of us came to see the migration of the Sand Hill cranes. This property was a perfect location for that as it was near the Crane Trust and the Rowe Sanctuary. The house was well stocked with various supplies. Easy to find. Check in was easy. One of our group needed a blow dryer and we asked the owners if there was one available and he had one for us in minutes. I would stay here again.

Great place to stay in Grand Island!

This home was the perfect location to stay if you have events at the Heartland Shooting Park. My son was competing in the 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships there, and it was nice to be so close with early morning shoot times. We would definitely stay again!
