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.
This is a great house. Lots of room to hang out and visit in. The house has a lot of character. The house has all that you would need. Emily is a great host.
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!
Lovely neighborhood, walking distance to a lot of cute places. Very clean, has a vintage look that's charming. AC worked great. Nice place to land in omaha
We stayed for a baseball tournament, house was as expected and check in process was easy. The host was very responsive and easy to get ahold of in case an issues arose!
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.
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.
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.
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.
The property met all of needs including location. Everything listed about the property was accurate. Check in and departure was easily processed. No concerns or issues.
This house reminded me of the home I grew up in, with gorgeous oak woodwork and lots of natural light.
Everything was as expected, all the technology worked as described.
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 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!
Such a great house! Just what we were looking for, a home away from home. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you Emily!

My family and I have lived all over the country, and for the last few years have called Omaha home.

I am a mother to 3 teenagers and enjoy handwork, gardening, swimming and hiking.
