No issues finding or getting into the property and the amenities were fine. There were some cobwebs across the door as well as a bunch of live and dead flies in the house, but otherwise it was clean and I had no other issues. The host was extremely responsive and considerate. Would rent again for sure.

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!

Our Son and Daughter-in-law took us to Nebraska to see the Sandhill Crane migration. This house was perfectly located to visit the Crane viewing sites yet far from any traffic noise. The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. We think the house was recently remodeled as everything looked new. The beds were very comfortable.I would recommend this house to anyone visiting to see the Crane migration.
