About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Bignell
Growing up between southwestern and northeastern Nebraska, I raised my children in Hastings. I now enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Summit outside the windows of our acreage in Tekamah, Nebraska. We have assembled a great team in Hastings to help us give great service to our guests. My interests include being an aspiring singer-songwriter for my toddler granddaughter and learning interior design and construction skills after retiring from a 27-year career in mental health. I have 13 grandchildren. I travel frequently, help with the babies and enjoy our recently built beach house in Bolivar Peninsula, Texas.
Why they chose this property
My family lived in this home until I relocated to Tekamah six years ago. I loved how walkable it was and the spaciousness of the home. I could walk to the grocery store, the Catholic high school, Mary Lanning Hospital, and downtown within minutes. The location is in a quiet area with a private driveway and ample parking on the street.
What makes this property unique
In my opinion there is no better deal in Hastings for clean, updated, comfortable and attractive lodging! This centrally located well-stocked space feels like a main floor unit due to its large egress windows and spacious rooms. When you walk downstairs into the apartment it is easy to see why it's named The Spacious Surprise! Large bedrooms with big closets, an extra sleeping space adjacent to the second bedroom, and a roomy front room, bathroom and kitchen all add to the airy comfortable experience you have when staying here.
