Staying with Alex is great! he is everything you look for in a host: quiet, friendly, lets you have the run of the apartment, and is an informative host about the local area. The view from the main room of the downtown area is simply breath taking and the pictures do not do it justice! I especially appreciated being close to a 24 hr convience store. Since I'm a bit of an insomniac it really came in handy. would rate more stars if I could! if you're coming to Fremont you should stay with Alex!

good

Mike and Donna are great hosts with a ton of local knowledge to share. My husband enjoyed a field trip with Mike to the mobile co-op and was introduced to some of the guys that run the local mill. Everyone is very friendly and my husband and I can't wait to finally move here! It was relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy a conversation for a change! Hoping to turn this connection into a lasting friendship

Interesting old home and lovely gardens with friendly old dog. very hospitable people.

The cabin was exactly as advertised, clean and spacious with a wonderful view. It is in a quiet, out of the way area and was very nice for our Valentine's Day getaway. Linda was very friendly and professional, she made us feel right at home. No complaints whatsoever, overall great experience.

Our host was amazing! I had some specific questions well before our arrival date. She responded quickly to my inquiries and answered my questions completely. As promised we talked on the phone a couple days before our arrival. She was so enthusiastic and offered lots of information about the house and the area. She knew this was a surprise party for our daughter and she made great suggestions for how to use amenities in the house to improve the surprise! The house was everything the listing described, as was the surrounding area. She encouraged our use of the kayaks, indoor and outdoor game supplies, and DVDs.

this house is fantastic,It is modern ,clean and have every thing you need to enjoy your stay . The host is very helpful and kind . We stayed 3 nieghts . Th first two nigts were wonderful , but in the last nieght hundreds of mosquitoes attacked the house that we couldn't sleep well .

Beautiful house. Felt like being at home.

Wow, what a wonderful experience this was! Linda called me ahead of time to give me some heads up on what to expect and how things work, and stayed in touch with me during the weekend when a storm came through. The place was spotless when we arrived (SPOTLESS, I kid you not!), and had everything we needed outside of clothes and food. This was fantastic for me, because we stayed at other cabins before where we would rewash the dishes and counters upon arrival, or rinse out the tub, find better smelling blankets, etc. It was nice to actually go to a CLEAN vacation rental!! Also, there was plenty of room for our combined six kids to move around and play, with extra activities available (a big bag of outdoor toys, board games, coloring activities, etc), as well as plenty of sleeping options that the kids enjoyed (um, a nook for a kid and another for an adult?! Added to my future dream home specifications!). This cabin is 100% worth going to, we would definitely go again, except longer!! So comfortable, very professional, great quality!

We enjoyed our stay!

Gorgeous cabin!! Stayed here for a girl's weekend and it was amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. The little touches made it great. A sound system for the entire house, movies, shampoo and conditioner under the sink, etc. The weather was perfect for us so we spent time outside. Would totally recommend to a group or family who needs to get away. It is obvious that they have put a lot of time and effort to making sure the cabin has everything you need.

The house was great! In a small little town, but the gated community was gorgeous. They kept the house very clean and well organized. Kitchen utensils were very easy to find! Bedrooms were made up well, and we had plenty of space for 4 couple to each have their own room. The basement is unfinished, but they did a great job of making the bedroom area down there as nice as possible. We would LOVE to come back next year, and make out college reunion a yearly thing!

Very relaxing and well equipped house on a small lake. We couldn't have asked for anything better for our visit with our daughter who lives a few miles away. Host communicated very well and left us lots of staple items to make our stay quite pleasant. The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax with our dogs.

Fran was an amazing hostess with an absolutely BEAUTIFUL home! Rooms are clean and inviting, Fran offers a delicious breakfast each morning, and the lake-front views are spectacular! We enjoyed the lake trails each day for running and leisure walks! Just 25 minutes from downtown Omaha, this is an outstanding place to stay with wonderful people serving as hosts!

My parents, sister's family and my husband and I all stayed at Fran and Barney's beautiful lake front home (6 adults, 2 kids and a baby). All enjoyed sleeping in beds! The pictures are very accurate as this stunning home is very clean and cozy with plenty of amenities (large variety of coffee, popcorn, waters, breakfast food, clean extra towels, dishes etc.). Fran has grandchildren of her own, so it was extra convenient to have toys and books on hand for the baby. This newer home was perfect distance to the Fremont, Springfield and Omaha areas which were our destinations for the weekend. Fran was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire booking and stay. Along with her husband, they were a joy to visit with and even cooked us a tasty breakfast prior to our departure! You won't be disappointed staying in this lovely home with these lovely people at such a lovely rate!

First let me start by saying that I’m not one who writes reviews on places I’ve stayed or places I’ve had a meal at. Actually, this is my first ever written review. I will usually just personally say thank you for great service or a nice stay. This is different, we were so impressed that I felt I needed to let more people know in writing about Fran and Barney’s B&B. We had one of our best visits ever to the Omaha area as a result of staying at Fran and Barney’s beautiful home in Bennington. We were in town to attend our daughter’s graduation from UNMC College of Pharmacy. In the past while in town to visit we would stay at a Hotel in the Omaha area. The stay at Fran and Barney’s was much more relaxing and enjoyable than any hotel stay. Fran went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She was even planning on making us an egg casserole for breakfast for our last morning in town but we had already made other plans. Their home is absolutely beautiful. The accommodations for us were perfect! Having a bedroom on the main level with attached bathroom was just what we needed for my dad. The accommodations on the lower level were also perfect for my wife, daughter and myself. My daughter that was graduating and her husband came out several times to visit with us, play some pool, and just relax on the deck overlooking the lake. We had an opportunity to visit a bit with Fran and Barney one evening and get to know a little more about them. Let me tell you they are good people and we absolutely enjoyed our stay in their home. There is no doubt in my mind that the next time we are in the Omaha area we will contact Fran and Barney to see if their home is available. Fran and Barney were just outstanding hosts! Thank you Fran and Barney!

Fran and Barney's home is just what it bills itself as — beautiful and relaxing! It overlooks a lake that offers a wonderful mile-and-a-half walking trail, something we took advantage of! Fran and Barney were so very hospitable, too, making sure we were all set, including well fed for breakfast! :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Fran's house. We came down to Nebraska for the Husker game and Bennington was a great spot to stay. It was a half an hour to Omaha and an hour to Lincoln. Fran made an amazing breakfast and went out of her way to be a great host. Fran and Barney were super nice people!!

Fran and Barney were excellent hosts! Their home is absolutely gorgeous and did not disappoint. This was our first vacation with our 6 week old baby and it was the perfect place to stay! We felt like we were staying with family/friends. The views are amazing and we enjoyed several walks around the lake.

Great stay! Clean, friendly, beautiful, atmosphere. Can't say enough good things about our hosts. I will definitely stay here again.

Fran and Barney were exceptional hosts, and their home was a perfect fit for our group. We had used the home for part of a bachelor party with 8 gentlemen to play yard games, grill out, and use the lake to kayak and paddle board. The proximity to the water is awesome, and the hosts did a great job of making themselves available as needed but allowing us to explore the outdoor space and use their house space nicely. It was a wonderful stay, and Fran even prepared us bacon and eggs the next morning! It was a wonderful stay, and I would consider coming back for other reasons in the future as well. Thanks to both of you!

Judith was a wonderful host, flexible with check in, as we were driving in from out of town. Hospitable, and an all around wonderful person. The pictures do not do justice for her beautifully appointed home. We had a wonderful stay and would love for an opportunity to stay here again.

Judith was a wonderful host! She's very caring and wants to make sure you're comfortable with your stay. She lives just upstairs in case you need her for anything immediate, but she's so quiet you'll hardly know she's there! Her home is in a really great neighborhood. We were able to go for walks without any worries and the small lake and river area is beautiful. Made for a tranquil work trip!

Two of my friends / professional colleagues & I decided to drive from Dallas to Omaha to attend the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting. I was responsible for finding a place to stay. When I saw the labyrinth in the front yard of this listing, I knew this was it! My friends were not familiar w/ Airbnb & seemed somewhat apprehensive. (I am the property mgr for an Airbnb in DFW and knew Judith’s place would be far, far better than any hotel). We arrived, met Judith (the host) and toured the house. Judith was very warm and welcoming - we all felt instantly at ease with her. My friends were thrilled. The house is gorgeous - very peaceful – on the lake - has a steam shower and dry sauna - & of course, the labyrinth…. We had a busy schedule & it rained the entire weekend – so we couldn’t take advantage of everything. None-the-less, we had a wonderful stay – Judith was a fabulous host and Paco, her dog, was adorable. If you're considering staying at the Rainforth Retreat Center, BOOK IT! You will not regret it! Thanks Judith.

House was beautiful! Judith has amazing taste. She was flexible with our late arrival and our check out was smooth. I would love to stay there again.

We were in Omaha for the Olympic Trials and staying in hotels for 7 nights. We had booked the Rainforth Retreat for 2 of those nights. When we arrived at the house Judith greeted us and showed us around. The house is absolutely beautiful and the view is amazing. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. I had the opportunity to visit with Judith. She is an incredible person and I found myself wishing we had had more time together. The guys were able to get out on the lake using the kayaks and paddle board that Judith provided. Those two nights were the most relaxing part of our trip! I truly hope that we can visit again.

Awesome time! The steam shower helped me relax after being on the road for a week straight! Judith rocks! So does her retreat center!

Flexible with arrival time. Very nice family. The place was clean, had fresh linens, and they had just installed a new TV in the room. Definitely a good place to stay in Omaha! Already booked my next stay!

Jamie was wonderful to work with - super communication and the stay was in a great neighborhood and room was spacious and clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

This is a very nice home in a safe neighborhood on the northwest side of Omaha. The host still has a few minor things to tweak to make this experience more enjoyable but overall it was fine. There is a private bathroom and use of the kitchen.

Everything went well

Great house, but the room smelled like smoke.

I stayed here for a whole month, so my review is for that time period! First, let me start off by reviewing the room space. It was just as it looked in the pictures. It was very nice and cozy. The place was very private with its own entrance. You mostly get the whole basement to yourself that comes with a kitchen for cooking. Everything I needed was always supplied to me! Now, let me talk about the family. Let me say, they are such a beautiful family! I didn't see them all the time because of the private space, but when I did, I really enjoyed being around them! Most of my interaction was with Jamie! She was a very friendly sweet young lady. She was very accommodating, and flexible. Her husband Brad was very kind too, but I didn't see him that much. Jamie and Brad have 2 wonderful children! Their names are James who is about 2 years old, and 2nd grader Hannah! I loved these kids! James is so full of life! He always has a big smile on his face, and always eager to say hello! Hannah is such a bright young child! She's one of the most intelligent and mature for her age kid I've ever met! Also, they got a puppy while I was there! She is a blue blooded bulldog named Bailee! Whenever she sees you, expect to be greeted with nothing but so much love! Jamie offered me dinner twice with them! Once the night before I left. They also sent me off the morning I left with a nice homemade breakfast! One other thing I was pleased with and thankful for was they invited me to go to church with them one Sunday, and I did! My overall experience was comparable to just about almost perfect! I do recommend this place, and I would come back again if I was to visit Omaha again!

Outstanding hospitality, value and communication! Had 3 kids with us. Very accommodating.

Quite beautiful place

Valerie's place was wonderful and I enjoyed a restful night. It was warm and cozy in a cold night with any and all amenities I could have needed. She was easy to communicate with and greeted me upon my arrival. I'd highly recommend Valerie's place!

Such a great place to stay! So homey and comfy!

This apartment is absolutely beautiful. It was very clean and had everything that you needed for your stay. The beds were comfy and the pillows were perfect!!! Valerie was a great host and the turnaround time if you have a question was very quick.

Valerie is an amazing host. She was very accommodating. She has any amenity you could want. She even let me borrow a hot glue gun so I could help decorate my friends grad cap. She was very nice and had a perfect balance of checking in and letting you relax. The room is wonderful. It looks like the pictures and was clean and comfy. The neighborhood is beautiful. It is quiet but also has walking trails you can enjoy and some neighbors have horses you can see walking around. I would definitely stay again if I'm in Omaha again.

Me and a couple of friends stayed at Valerie's place during a road trip to Chicago. Valerie is a great hostess communicating well before and after our stay. Her place was comfy and had everything we needed and more!

Valerie's place is perfect for a quiet getaway! It is clean, comfortable, has all the amenities you could need and is hosted by a very hospitable host. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful, cozy, lovely place and Valerie is a perfect hostess. Made sure I was acquainted with everything when I first arrived and then let me do my thing. I would definitely stay here again on my way back through Omaha.

Valerie met me at check-in time to give me a quick tour of her place. It is exactly how she portrays it to be! Very comfortable, clean, and quiet apartment and neighborhood. I am in Omaha for work and I needed to sleep during the day, but didn't wake up to any outside noise. I look forward to staying again many times in the future!

Very nice, family-oriented neighborhood, clean, uncluttered, and comfortable home. The owner/family with small children does live here as their primary residence, I believe, and vacates for the rental time. Drawers and cabinets are clearly marked for guest use of kitchen necessities.

The home is in a newer typical subdivision. The family resides in the home and moved out for the week we rented. This was a bit awkward as the kids seemed unhappy to leave their home. The rules of the house were such that it was restrictive- we were afraid we would disturb their personal space - all of their belongings were there- clothes, food, toys, etc...We've used Airbnb extensively all over the world and know there is a variety of host styles. This was the first time we've felt uncomfortable. Joy was nice and flexible on our arrival time as we had a flat tire in the middle of the night while traveling. The home was clean and comfortable.
