Perfect for our girls trip
The house was just perfect for our girls trip. It is a bit older house but it was comfortable and clean. It was centrally located and we could get everywhere we wanted to go in Omaha in 20 minutes.

Clean and sweet
What a charming place! It reminded us of our Grandparents house growing up. The quilts, curtains and vibe are all ‘retro cozy’. The location was great for us, safe and quiet. Even though it’s off a Main Street. The house was clean and had everything we could need. The extra full bath was nice to have!

We really enjoyed the house. Rooms were nice and clean. Beds comfortable. Extremely well stocked. The back yard was perfect. Lots of birds to watch at the feeders. Im terrible with names but Emily was so friendly. Just lovely to talk to. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Retreat
This property was close to where we needed to be while staying in Omaha. Very close to downtown and access to main roads. We had everything we needed and found it very comfortable and peaceful. The property was very clean. We are low maintenance, but felt Emily was very good at communicating and would have answered any questions or helped with anything we would have needed. The birds and squirrel on the feeders in the backyard were fascinating to watch.

Great location for Creighton graduation weekend
Close to campus, easy to direct our guests to meet us here, quiet for our elderly guests to relax. We had a small lunch for the guests at the house and enjoyed the backyard picnic table.

Great spot to stay
Some coworkers and I had a conference on the medical campus over the weekend. The house was only a few blocks from the school. Easy walk back from the Blackstone bar area. Plenty of parking. Quiet neighborhood. I would stay here again.

Feels like home
Feels like we stepped back into the older home we used to live in, with all the love, style, coziness and creaks in the floor that make a place your own. Communication with the owner was excellent, and it's so helpful to have them nearby. We will be back!

Cute and convenient
Cute old house with nice garden and backyard. Was convenient to zoo and airport. Well furnished and stocked w toiletries etc. Downsides: No off street parking (but there was always a spot available in front of the house), and the neighbor had a bright light pointing at a the side of the house which shine in the windows and made it bright at night.

My siblings were in town with our mom for a concert and this house was perfect for our little trip! It is so cozy and well stocked. We also left an item accidentally and Emily is going to ship it back to us! Would recommend staying here. :) Thanks for the great stay Emily!
