Great property and even better hosts! I stayed here for a couple of weeks while in the area for work. It’s in a great location and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed the time I spent there and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again if I’m ever in the area.

Great stay. Just a two day get away from Lincoln. Found some things to do in Nebraska City. The Bootlegger's Roost was perfect for my wife and I. Super clean and had what we needed. The bed was comfortable. The shower was an adventure but not in a bad way. The driveway is super narrow so if your wife likes to help you drive when you don't really need it you should park in the street. Would stay here again.

This is a very nice property, nicely decorated and in a good location. Lacey was very helpful when needed but not intrusive. I did have a hard time getting up at night because the bed was so close to the wall and found the bathtub set up difficult to use. It might not be the best choice for seniors but great for younger folks.

Hi John! Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate it. I will definitely move the bed out a little further from the wall, because that makes complete sense. :). We hope you had a nice time in Nebraska City and appreciate your business. Thank you again.

I absolutely loved the unit. It was exactly as described and SO much more. This unit was very thoughtfully equipped and everything seemed brand new. I was so taken by the history of the original 1887 house and the work they have done to restore it. The old Carriage house was also restored and now serves as a garage with the rental unit above it. I love history and felt fully immersed by this property, the trees, the roads, and the City in general. All amazing! I had friends visit me while there, my hosts were wonderful and expressed their willingness to do anything I needed for all of us to be comfortable and to enjoy our time together. I had my own patio, BBQ grille and hot tub. The kitchen was perfect, probably over supplied, with dishes, pots & pans, brand new appliances, even plenty of snacks left for me. I cooked at least one meal every day while there. The bed was very, very comfortable. They even had a combo washer/dryer. I arrived late at night and only needed the code for the electronic lock on the front door. My arrival was so easy! I interacted with the hosts a couple of times during my stay; they were so warm and friendly; I departed with 2 new friends! I truly mean that!! This was not just a stay. It was an experience. I felt like I took a step back in time. If you go, read the historical info provided in the room and investigate the charming history of Nebraska City. I've told all my friends, "This visit was MAGICAL!" I'll be back for more!

About the host

Hosted by Lacey Garcia

Host profile image
I love hosting on Vrbo because it gives me the chance to share a special piece of history with travelers from all over. There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating a space where guests can relax, make memories, and feel right at home. From the thoughtful details to the warm welcomes, it’s a joy to connect with people and help make their stay unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offered the perfect blend of charm, history, and community. The tree-lined streets, beautiful old homes, and walkable distance to local shops and parks instantly made it feel like home. There’s a warmth here—neighbors who wave, stories behind every corner, and a slower pace that invites you to truly settle in and enjoy life.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is its rich history and thoughtful restoration. Originally built in 1887, it was once part of Nebraska City’s bootlegging past, and we’ve lovingly preserved its vintage charm while adding modern comforts. From the original interior doors, elegant claw foot bathtub, to the cozy hot tub and curated décor, every detail tells a story. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that blends the elegance of the past with the comfort of the present.
