About this property

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. 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.

Wonderful home

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!

Above and beyond.

From the start Sharon was very responsive and the communication was great. She gave us great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area. She knew it was my husbands birthday and she baked him a cake and cupcakes and even decorated for him. It was such a wonderful surprise for him and the cake was delicious! The house itself was so cozy, clean, and smelled wonderful. Everything was updated and decorated with great detail. The whole family really enjoyed our stay and I really appreciated our host. Thanks Sharon for sharing your home!

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!

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!

Sharon was amazing, she answered all of my questions very promptly. She had suggestions on what was going on in the area. The house was just as she described. Area was peaceful and neighbors are friendly. We even got to enjoy some deer watching while sitting at the table in the front yard. Will definitely be staying here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay! The home was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed for a comfortable, home-like experience. The serene patio was a perfect spot to relax and unwind—it added such a peaceful touch to our visit. The location made it easy and convenient to spend time with family in the area, and having such a cozy place to come back to each day made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay again!
