Come relax in the country! The apartment is located inside a newly constructed shed/barn.

We do have a very friendly farm dog on the property, so please take note if this will be an issue for you.
Crane season - perfect location! We typically book very early out for crane season. There is private access to the Platte River which is the perfect setting for bird watching (might be off-limits during hunting season - Fall/Winter - Please contact to check), especially cranes during crane season! The owner will also help you set up on the Platte River for private bird watching during crane season. A private pond is located in the pasture right outside of the barn for fishing and quiet nights relaxing. Our pasture and cornfields are typically filled with cranes during the season. We are conveniently located to the south of Shelton, Nebraska off of Interstate 80. We are within 10-15 minutes of two crane viewing spots - Rowe Santuary and the Crane Trust Nature Center.

Summary: My stay was very comfortable and quiet. The place was extremely clean and organizied. I like to cook when I travel so the fully stocked kitchen was perfect. I would stay here again and probably will.

Summary: We planned to stay two nights to see the sandhill crane migration, and ended up staying a third due to being stranded by a blizzard. Hosts were able to accommodate us and asked if we needed anything. Great location for seeing cranes!

Summary: I picked this space due to the proximity of the Platte River and the sandhill crane viewing experience. I used the blind and it was amazing. I saw thousands of cranes fly and land across the way. As soon as it got dark they popped over closer to me on the river with a thunderous roar. The space has everything you need. Nice and open. Beautifully decorated with nice pieces. My husband would have loved all the mounts on the walls. I would stay again if in the area.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the "shed." Plenty of room and a nicely stocked kitchen so we could prepare all our meals and not dine out. There is a very large fridge, electric stove and plenty of dishes, and pots and pans. The Klopps are a sweet family, and we will definitely stay again. The dogs are very friendly, and nice. It is close to the interstate, but when you close the door to the bedroom to sleep, it is well insulated and we got a good nights sleep. This place is a little gem!If you travel to see the Sandhill Crane migration, don't miss going down to the river and sit in the blind that is part of the property. The birds didn't roost in the river at night while we were sitting in the blind, but when we went back before dawn, they were sure making a lot of noise. They are pretty skiddish, so some had lifted off the river by the time we got to the blind, but it was still spectacular being that close to them. When a large group would take off, you can hear a drumming noise - wings flapping.

Summary: It's a little off the beaten path ... but that's exactly what my husband & I wanted. The barndominium has been beautifully updated and we loved the decor. The kitchen has lots of counter space and all of the necessary appliances in perfect working order. And the water tastes great!We had everything we needed and very much appreciated the restaurant recommendations. Be mindful of the two family dogs - they are friendly when introduced by the owner but one does not like vehicles, so please drive slowly. But the coup de grace is the river access! We absolutely loved sunset in the blind and watching the Crane gather by the Platte River before they roost for the night! Our souls were refreshed. If you're a bird watcher, this is the place for you!

Summary: Our stay was great! What a cute little cabin. It was a little hard to get to with the weather the way it was that weekend. My husband really appreciated the front walk was shoveled before we got up.
