More than just a place for an overnight stay! The setting is rustic, the cabin is anything but! Right on a farm pond with 'catch and release' fishing. Hiking trail to Platte River. Great access, only 3 miles off the Interstate.
From Honeymoons to Hunting ... From Families to Get-a-way Weekends !

Our thanks to our 2009 guests! They were great!!
Looking forward to those who visit us in 2010.
We feature a newer, one bedroom log cabin, with sleeping loft and two sofa-sleepers. Fullsize bath, frig, stovetop, convection microwave, and flatscreen t.v. Linens, towels, and coffeemaker (and coffee!), dishes, pots & pans provided. Great little back porch for a quiet sit, outdoor patio table and four chairs make a comfy picnic spot.
The cabin sits right on a farm pond stocked with large-mouth bass, sunfish, catfish, and carp. As much "Catch and release" fishing as you want (and sometimes... we let you keep the fish to help control the pond stock). Great private 1/4 mile walking trail to the Platte river through grasslands and wooded area. Peaceful and secluded, but other homes in the immediate area.
Bring a camera as deer and turkey love this place and its right in the middle of sandhill crane viewing! Bird watching in general can be rewarding, too, with bald eagles in the spring, blue heron on the pond, geese overhead, and many songbirds. Bring your DVD's and CD's, too, because the cabin has surround sound and its great! And, there is even satellite TV (we don't want you to rough-it too much!). We hate to say 'no' to pets, so if yours is small and/or well behaved they are more than welcomed. A pet deposit will be requested after arrival and can simply be charge card info. No smoking, please.
Upon departure, you need not do anything with the linens or the trash or cleaning; except we ask that you do wash up and put away any dishes or pots & pans that you used and we ask that you clean the grill if you used it. We'll take care of the rest!
THERE IS A TWO NIGHT MINIMUM ON WEEKENDS (Fri/Sat/Sun evenings). We have adopted this policy because the majority of our guests are looking for a two night stay and when we sell a single Friday or Saturday night, we loose vital business. We simply could not have the cabin available if we rented it only four nights per month due to single night purchases on the weekend. We appreciate your understanding. [Week nights - Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur. -- can be purchased for single nights.]
Very conveniently located; just 3 miles south of Interstate 80 in the center of Nebraska, and just 7 miles to gas, groceries, and shopping. The cabin is approx. 11.5' wide, 48' long, and stands 16' tall.
After you reserve the cabin, we will email you with greater details -- like where to pick up the key -- and make arrangements for your arrival. Check is is generally around 3:00 and check out around noon. If no one is leaving or coming before or after you, we try to extend your hours as much as possible... we're fine with you being here till 4:00 if we don't have to get in the cabin and clean for the next guest.
Price of $95 per night includes: one night's rental for up to four occupants, catch and release fishing, walking trail, plus all applicable taxes and fees. Additional guests (over 4) are $10 per night each.
Email us if you have any questions. marge.lauer@gmail.com
** We close the cabin from November 1 through February 28. We haven't the means of removing snow so as to get you in and out of the cabin, plus the utility bill goes up while the number of guests go down. Again, we ask for your understanding.
