Holiday houses in Hastings

The space was exact replicas of the photos, we loved getting up in the morning and enjoying the river view. The location was perfect everyday we went into Omaha but we were able to go back to a quiet place and recharge.

Polly was a lovely host. I arrived to find a welcome note and yummy bottle of wine waiting for me and the home tastefully decorated for Christmas, including a tree! She was very quick in responding to my reservation request and when providing important information and instructions. I was in town for our family Christmas and needed to prepare a couple dishes for it. I fully expexted needing to make a trip to a store for something I forgot or that the kitchen didnt have, but was surprised and delighted to find it was well-stocked with every utensil and pan I needed!

Does look like the pictures. Hosts were great with being flexible and letting us stay another night.

Absolutely blown away by how great this place was! The cabin was very cozy, and the walking trails were a delight! I'd recommend using the trails for xc-skiing in the wintertime! The cabin is far enough from Omaha that you can see quite a few stars (with clear skies and the right moon-phase), yet close enough we were able to venture back into town to get some groceries. Before we even left we decided we want to return sometime in the next few months, the cabin was that charming!

We drove in from Cincinnati to visit family for Thanksgiving. Very easy to find, clean and comfortable. If we have the occasion to return we will absolutely reach out again.

This beautiful clean Airbnb was perfect for a family gathering. It’s in the country so it’s very private, and there was some wild turkeys to entertain us.

Amy's home is cozy, comfortable and immaculately clean. The kitchen was well equipped except for a spaghetti serving spoon I needed, but I improvised. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the private, fenced in backyard. The stairs to the basement are directly across from the backdoor. When we first got there, we let our dogs into the backyard. In my dogs' excitement to explore the house, one of them leaped from the step on the enclosed patio straight across to the basement stairs. It was dark and I'm sure he thought he was running into a room instead of stairs. My heart jolted as I heard him tumble down the stairs. Thankfully, he was fine, but he had no further interest in the basement. The house is a short drive to Bellevue, where my husband had business for the week. I appreciated the desk from which I could work remotely. There are quite a few stairs to get to the front door and to keep in mind if you're bringing multiple bags. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Amy's Baby Blue!

Amber went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her 100 year+ home is in a historic district of Council Bluffs adjacent to the Gilbralter Neighborhood Trailhead. Several of our family members took advantage of its proximity and went hiking during our visit. Her home is a mix of old and new - 19th and early 20th century craftsmanship, such as a beautiful central staircase, combined with 21st century technology such as WiFi, and numerous televisions throughout the expansive home. Fun amenities include a pinball machine and a treadmill for exercise. My family especially enjoyed competing on the pinball machine. Amber’s home was stocked with all sorts of treats ranging from muffins to a charcuterie tray. Whenever we had a question either about something in the home or some activity in the area, Amber was very quick to respond. I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rental properties. This one stands out in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend.
