Wonderful get away
The house was great. Communication was great. The house was secluded, which was what we were looking for for a quiet get away. Loved the hot tub
This is a relaxing place to stay. Quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend.

A quaint stay in the hills!
We enjoyed the proximity to the Omaha zoo, outside areas at the rental and how we had everything we needed for a cozy stay for some quality family time with games and good food.
Tranquility at its finest! Great place to disconnect and enjoy nature and family.

This was a wonderful quiet, tranquil place to stay amidst the beauty of the hills. The house was great and stocked with everything and anything a body would need to get away. Great place & highly recommend!
We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The hosts were friendly and have thought of most needs. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, supplied games and comfy beds and lounging areas.
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here with a long weekend getaway. It was perfect! The house was so adorable, super clean, private, and the beds were very comfortable. It was a wonderful weekend and I would definitely recommend it!
Such a beautiful spot! We had never been to southwest Iowa so it was so great exploring a new area. We brought our two kids. This place had everything to help us enjoy a little weekend getaway!

Nicely located with views from Loess Hills bluffs, but not far off a good road. Small but well equipped kitchen, lots of seating, quiet bedrooms. My dog loved the terraced meadows where he could run off-leash.
We really enjoyed our weekend away here. We played lots of games, made yummy meals and went to Nebraska City to the AppleJack festival. The jacuzzi was nice and warm and very clean! The beds and furniture were extremely comfortable! Just driving 45 minutes out of Omaha to here- made us feel unplugged and relaxed! And it used to be a winery!!! How cute is that! Loved it!
We loved the peaceful cabin after spending all day at the baseball field. The grandson enjoyed the hot tub after playing baseball and all the board games.
Everything was wonderful. Great place for a girl's weekend getaway. Had alot of laughs with ping pong, bags, ring on the string and the hot tub was awesome. Owners are right next door but never saw them. Seemed liked we were in our own little world.
What a great place to stay! So peaceful and quiet. The kids enjoyed exploring outside, playing on the decks and looking for the kitties. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Very comfortable beds and an overall great set up for our family. We would definitely consider this house for a return trip.
Property was exactly as listed. Beds were comfortable, we slept 6 in this house comfortably. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the large deck and overlook in the woods. The cell service wasn't good, wifi was ok.
The cottage and property were well kept, clean and provided many essentials for my families’ stay. The communication with the owners was excellent! The detail and decorating made the cottage feel like home. The price of the cottage was amazing! I would highly recommend this vacation home
We loved our stay here. Looking to get away, unwind and relax? This is the place! Everything was great. Hosts very responsive. Both indoor and outdoor accommodations were top notch. We needed for nothing. Highly recommend!
Loved our stay in this lovely home! Well stocked kitchen, lots of outdoors areas to enjoy and solitude. Limited cell service so prepare ahead of time. But WiFi is available and there’s plenty to do - games, puzzles, books, hot tub, etc. We will be back!
