About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy, Clean & Quiet. Home in the Hills. Close to DT Omaha; Market; Zoo; Gardens

Best kept secret! Comfortable home in a safe and quiet neighborhood in the hills. Perfectly located for quick and easy drive to downtown Council Bluffs, bustling activity in downtown Omaha, CHI Center, Luminarium, Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, Softball Fields, etc.

Return from a busy day of activities to a peaceful oasis. Relax on the patio, grill out and simply enjoy the peace and quiet that surrounds you. Watch sunsets/sunrises on the horizon. Enjoy relaxing. Deer may wander through the yard - but they're quiet when they do.
This is best of both worlds - being on vacation with the comforts of home.
You can sleep comfortably so you're ready to do it all over again the next day!

Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking items, dishes, utensils, smoothie blender, waffle maker, etc. Icemaker in frig. Fully stocked coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. Keurig, Bialetti espresso maker, regular coffeemaker- etc.

Laundry room - washer, dryer, soap/softener, iron and clothes folding table at the bottom of the stairs for guest usage.

Grocery store 3 minutes away - down the hill and around the corner for fresh perishables and big ticket items. (See Guide Book for details)

Parking in private driveway.

If you are flying in - Short drive or Uber/Lyft to downtown Omaha, Old Market, Airport, College World Series, CHI Center, Casinos, Henry Doorly Zoo, Joslyn Art Museum or Lauritzen Garden. - Best of all worlds.



IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This home is not recommended for toddlers or wildly adventurous youth. Inside: Home is not baby/toddler proofed. Stairs inside entryway lead down to laundry area and are not gated. Back patio area is edged, but not fenced with an intense hill/slope past edging. Great to watch the wildlife venture through, but extremely dangerous for wayward little feet. It is steep to the point of impassibility.
Children have stayed at the house and love watching the animals with no problems, but there are some for whom this would not be a good combo. Contact host if you have questions.

Quiet place to stay while visiting the Omaha area. Close to the zoo and other attractions, but secluded enough for a quiet stay. Very clean. We all loved it. Hosts were great with communication and care, thank you!

Wonderful, safe property! Exceptional host!
Let me start by saying this is the first time we have ever done anything other than a hotel or motel, so we were a little nervous, but boy did Sharon really set the bar for the next time around. She is definitely the hostess with the mostest and there's a reason she had a five-star review rating. The reason we chose her place was not only the location, the value, but due to prior reviews, especially being the first timer. I must say the place is just as adorable in person as it shows in the pictures, if not more. She definitely stocked the house with more amenities than I was expecting. Since I was staying there with my husband and my children, being in a safe neighborhood was my number one concern. Since I don't know the area, sometimes pictures can be deceiving. But like all the other folks who stayed here, we did feel safe in this area. We were able to relax out front on the patio, and in the backyard area. There was a little grass area just across the street that the kids were able to play in. It was fairly easy to find with our Google maps, and we were at the zoo within 15 minutes of leaving the house. Let Sharon know after you book why you are staying, and she is very helpful with information regarding local attractions that may be of interest of to you. She was very helpful with us finding local restaurants that were delicious, extra little things we could do with the kids around the area, and just very gracious. Sharon, you are the BEST!!! Thank you!

Peaceful stay close to the city
The house was cozy and very welcoming. Sharon was very helpful throughout the stay, offering us recommendations about what to do and answering any questions we had. She even had music playing when we arrived. The house was very clean and organized and had everything we needed. It was only about a 15 minute drive to Omaha, which was perfect for our relaxed mini vacation to the city. The only downside was the road to get to the house. It was a very steep one lane road. This wasn’t an issue, but definitely a surprise to us. We’d 100% stay here again, steep road and all!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was just as pretty as the pictures. Lovely to sit out in the patio and watch the birds. It is located at the end of a street and is quiet and green. Pretty garden. Close to the great zoo and gardens. Great location. I’d love to do it again!

Great house! Clean, stocked well, and great location
Definitely recommend this cute little gem. Just a short little vacation for my Mom, son, husband n I. But it was worth it. This house was fully stocked with items I've never seen before when we have rented other homes. Very quite area, and perfect location! Not far from Old County Market. Lots of nice restaurants too choose from. Zoo, the next day, Bob Kerry Bridge, and a few Casinos, all where fairly close. I was very impressed! Thank you for having us:)

Relaxing retreat
We took a short weekend getaway for our anniversary. This was just the right spot. Relaxing, comfortable, quiet. House has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Property owner was extremely helpful as we researched a few small activities like figuring out logistics of visiting a local vineyard. Owner also went above and beyond in providing a thoughtful welcome for us when we arrived at the property. No complaints at all and give a happy endorsement!

Great getaway for locals
Only a 90min drive from home for us and was the perfect home away from home to reset life a little bit. Peaceful quiet area with nature literally right outside the front door but also close by Broadway Street for easy, relaxing, tasty evenings (Barley's for Burgers and a huge tap list, Caddy's for a lovely dinner or brunch Sat/Sun) with essentials from Walgreens or Supersaver 2-3min away. Sharon is easy to work with, has thought of all the details and clearly enjoys being the true 'hostess with the most-ess'. Check in and out was easy peasy and the host is easily reachable should you need her.

This is probably one of the best homes I have stayed in. Sharon was amazing to work with and added so many little touches to make my weekend with my 3 boys great. She even left 3 gold coin chocolates in a drawer for my boys and said they were left by a leprechaun.
