Very Family/Group Friendly
We gathered from all over the country for a family reunion. Luckily, some families were local and could go home at night (with infant) or to gain another queen bed (it's difficult to visualize all sleeping arrangements until you arrive—and some didn't want to share rooms, etc. )
The bunk beds are up a second level and more remote. But, all ages of children (2-10) wanted to try a 'sleep over' there. We had to do some re-arranging of mattresses/beds so no one would fall down stairs or out of a top bunk. Only one child awoke at 3 a.m. looking for M & D at the other side of the house so, an aunty stepped in to carry him there. Totally expected for such an adventure!
We loved sitting out in the back yard in the evening at the chiminea telling family stories, sipping wine, making s'mores with all the kids. And while one group went to 'Top Golf' the rest stayed at the house and face painted, played in spray/baby pool, slip and slide, chased around with squirt guns, etc.
We prepared three big dinners and breakfasts. The way to make that work, of course, is to arrive in OMA a day early and go to Costco (3) times for non-perishables and then early before check in with cooler pick up perishables. It took planning and a few trips for ice, plastic ware, H2O, etc filled in the gaps.
Everyone had fun and the kids did not want to leave their cousins. My 4 year old granddaughter (from San Luis Obispo, CA) said, "Nana, this is SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!" That made all the effort worth while!
