Historic Excellence

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas trip to Omaha at Tiger’s and Wendy’s home. The restoration is simply amazing and my family had lots of fun just looking around and enjoying the beautiful house. Located right in Blackstone historic district with lots of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Tiger and Wendy are the perfect hosts. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautifully designed and stocked

Our stay was perfect from the time we arrived to departing. This house is beautifully decorated and cared for. The kitchen, bathrooms, etc are all well stocked. The sitting areas are great for gathering and conversations. The hosts were easy to contact before our arrival and as needed. They welcomed us with 2 loaves of bread, butter and chocolates...perfect and unexpected. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful and Unique

From check in to check out the property owners were wonderful. We were welcomed by the owners with fresh bread and some fun treats. Home is beautiful and kept up well. We had a group of 8 adults that all needed a little bit of space to themselves, and this home was perfect for that. Location is so much fun and lots of things to enjoy within walking distance. Wedding at Joslyn castle, evenings in the local pubs, ice cream and fresh baked cookies. We enjoyed our stay, Thanks you!

Fabulous house in a fabulous location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Omaha visit at this property. The house is very conveniently located close to downtown and within walking distance to several restaurants, pubs, and boutique shops. The interior is very nicely decorated and updated with cozy charm. I don’t know when we’ll get back to Nebraska again, but if we do, we would love to stay here again. Highly recommend.

Hidden Gem

This house has been restored with love and attention to creative details such as "find the fairies and fairy doors hidden in non-conspicious places" and partaking in locally made candy and bread generously provided by the hosts. Nooks and crannies for young people to explore. Beautifully decorated with interesting things from the past. Highly recommend this house. C

Adorable house, great location!

My friends and I absolutely loved staying here for a weekend getaway! The house is beautifully restored and decorated so thoughtfully. We loved all the amenities and even the small details really made this place feel like home. Awesome location within walking distance to food and activities. The owners gave us some great recommendations for things to do around town and we were welcomed with fresh baked bread, honey and local sweets. Couldn't ask for a better host or property!

Wedding Perfection!

My husband and I stayed at this lovely home to prepare for our son’s wedding here in Omaha. Heritage House easily accommodated family members who traveled in to celebrate with us over the Thanksgiving holiday. This home was well equipped and centrally located to all designated venues. Tiger and Wendy are great hosts, and they were very easy to contact and returned our messages promptly. All who stayed with us enjoyed the accommodations. Thank you so much for making our stay memorable.

Couldn't be happier!

We were in Omaha for an 80tth birthday celebration. We couldn't be happier with our choice of houses! The house was beautiful, immaculately clean, had all the comforts we could possibly need. You can see that the owners care about their guests. The neighborhood was nice and close to everything we needed. Would highly recommend!!!!
