Summary: Worth it 110%. The crane viewing is phenomenal -- from the house you can see them on the river, wake up to them lifting off, watch them in the cornfields all day, watch then come back at sunset, and sleep to their sounds all night (if you want! windows are well sealed if you don't ;). we booked several sunrise/sunset tours at local places but honestly our favorite crane moments were from this house. aside from the cranes, the house itself is amazing--comfortable, clean, cozy fireplace, has everything you need, and the host is great. one of our favorite trips, ever. Thank you Marc!

Summary: We have traveled through Nebraska hundreds of times, but never in March during the crane migration. We loved it and this house was amazing too! Everything in the house was wonderful and the setting on the river was beautiful. Communication with the owners was great. They were so quick to reply to everything we asked about. We endured a really bad blizzard while we were there, but the house stayed warm and comfortable. Secluded setting which we loved too. Kitchen was great and the beds were all extremely comfortable. Would we return! Absolutely! Thank you Marc and Melissa for sharing your amazing home!

Summary: What a great place to stay to watch the crane migration. The first evening we sat on the beautiful patio and had sandhill cranes all around us. Close to the best bird viewing spots. Clean and cozy. Fully equipped kitchen. And enjoyed the fireplace. We loved this place. And would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We arrived in a blizzard and the host called us to tell us we could stay another day because of the weather, unfortunately we could not. We went to see cranes, and we saw cranes in the thousands, some with in a 100 yards of the house. The house is pricey but worth it. Every thing about the place is top of the line. I would and will rent it again. Larry Determann

Summary: The property was gorgeous, everything as advertised and much more. So bright, clean, spacious, comfortable, well stocked and appointed. Perfect for enjoying the amazing crane migration and spectacular prairie chickens displays at the fabulous nearby Rowe Sanctuary and Prairie Wind Birding Tours. Would HIGHLY recommend this lovely place and our very kind, helpful hosts. Five star plus!!!

Summary: This is a spectacular cabin that is right next to the Platte River with huge window views of the river flowing by. Thousands of cranes fly by and overhead in the evening seeking their spot for the night and they erupt in the morning from a nearby, more shallow waterway to head back to the corn fields to feed. It really is an incredible sight, and the warbling and trumpeting of the birds is a chorus of nature. The cabin is close to perfect, very well-equipped and comfortable. So well constructed that a day and night of heavy winds felt cozy, not drafty. Looking out over the river in either direction, you cannot see any other houses or structures. You’ve got this beautiful setting to yourself, along with the deer, eagles (saw two), wading birds and Canadian geese, and wild turkeys (saw many, including a LARGE tom turkey with about 25 hens). If you want to witness the Sandhill crane migration from a well appointed cabin/lodge, this really is the place. And viewing platforms at the Audubon refuge and roadside stops abound. 5 stars for sure! Also recommend Adam’s Corner Market in Gibbon for provisions and Rowe Sanctuary for “crane lessons” and a nice, affordable gift store.

Summary: This cabin is perfectly situated for anyone coming to see the crane migration! It’s a beautiful home with a stunning view of the river. The last night we were there 18 wild turkeys strolled by the window! The Rowe Center is only minutes away and we saw lots of cranes in the surrounding fields and river. The owner is a great communicator and we had everything we needed for a great visit! I absolutely recommend this property!
