Such a perfect little place to stay! Location is wonderful and so welcoming. The home was exactly what we were looking for and very clean! We would love to stay here again!
This property is very clean and the decor is adorable! The location was perfect for us, very close to the family and friends we were visiting during our stay. Very dog-friendly with a big backyard. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Spotless, quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Our pups loved the big backyard. Very nice place to stay. We will book this lovely home again on our next trip to Council Bluffs!!!
We wanted a place with great outdoor space and found it here. Just a delight. Home had been nicely updated. We drove the Loess Hills scenic byway south, enjoyed good food at 712, saw Moulin Rouge at the Orpheum. Great place to stay.
The perfect home away from home! Comfortable inside & out. Loved the sunporch. The owners added special touches throughout, which added a welcome feel. Truly an A+ option!
This place was perfect for our mini vacation with our dog! Big back yard, very clean, and very relaxing. We had everything we needed! The porch is a nice addition to the home. Highly recommend!
Great location. Perfect and close to Bent Tree golf course where tournament took place.
Also big thanks to Josh for getting someone to come jump my car.
We had a wonderful stay. Josh and Melissa are great hosts, and quick to respond to any questions. The fresh flowers and local cookies were a lovely touch. The house has been beautifully restored and the garden and deck are so relaxing, with visiting squirrels and bunnies
This place on Caribou was very comfortable. It met all of our needs. I was worried about the stairs from the picture that the stairs in the back were very easily climbed, which it makes a difference with us senior citizens. The yard was beautiful. My dogs had a blast. Blast run running.

Wonderful home in a private almost woodsy area, but just blocks from sites and shopping. The owner Josh clearly cares and it shows!
Fully equipped, nicely furnished, beautifully decorated, super spacious home with comfy bed.
We biked the Wabash Trace directly from the cottage! Everything was perfect. I could not be happier with this stay!
You really feel at home here. The location is excellent, in the bluffs with a beautiful, meticulously maintained large yard. The home is updated, attractive, and well thought out for guests. It is also well priced! The owners are welcoming and attentive to their guests. We couldn't have had a better stay and hope to return at a future date. Note: Be sure and use the back of the driveway for easy access to the home.
Very nice cozy home with a beautiful yard. The hosts were responsive and helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Some nice touches makes the house very welcoming
My daughter and I loved our stay. Great backyard for our dog, close to the Mid America Center and a quiet neighborhood. The House was private and cozy. I recommend this rental!
The property is beautiful! Nice amount of room, had a lot of amenities, was very clean and spacious. Josh was very quick to respond with any questions we had.The screened porch was so nice.Neighborhood was very quiet, property isnt far from omaha or manamaw state park which we toured for about 45 minutes.
Quick stop over on our way through town, moving from Denver to Chicago. Lovely home on a lovely piece of property. Wished we had more time to enjoy it. Great communication through the whole process!
The hosts were so accommodating! Christmas Eve they brought a thoughtful gift for me and even a treat for my dog! The house was very nice, in the summer it would be nice to enjoy the sunroom, but it was too cold. An electric baseboard heater would be a good idea as the house becomes very small without that space. The hosts were great to fix the little issues. The house was decorated for Christmas..including a tree, that made it special..we had everything we needed! Games and welcoming muffins! Very nice! Highly recommend. Thank you!
