No complaints on anything. Owner very easy to get a hold of. Stayed here for deer season and it made it nice to be able to come and go with ease. I would definitely stay here again
We were here for one night, on our way to Colorado, and really enjoyed our stay. The view of Chimney Rock at night was incredible, and as we are from EST, we were up early to see the sunrise, which was absolutely beautiful! Scott's Bluff is an easy drive from this place, and is well worth seeing. The home was very clean and comfortable, and we wished that we had more time to spend in the area. Thank-you for your hospitality!
We chose this location for our weekend at Pioneer Days because of its proximity to Bayard and the fact that is was less expensive than hotels in Scottsbluff. It was absolutely perfect! The house is so cute, with tin ceilings in the bedrooms. The shower is huge! And the views are spectacular. My daughter and I are already talking about our next trip back to the Panhandle and staying here again. Definitely recommend!
First... Clay is an excellent host.
We were older traveling friends. I had a small issue with the internet (because I wasn't doing it correctly) and Clay was there in a heartbeat to help us. The view of chimney rock is fantastic at night. The house is centrally located to all the attractions in the area and in an incredibly quiet and peaceful area. Access to the house was very easy. It was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the remodeled bathroom is nicely done. I love the showerheads!! We didn't use the firepit/grill but Clay offered to bring us free firewood if we wanted. If you want a quiet restful place to stay before starting a day of viewing the monuments and museums, this is the place. I would definitely recommend this house to everyone.
Great location for seeing the sights in northwest Nebraska. Host is very responsive and friendly, right next door. Bathroom has been updated since the pictures, very nice.
"Stunning view of Chimney Rock" is an old farmhouse located on a farm outside of Bayard, NE, with the new house next door. Beautiful views of Chimney Rock and the nearby farmland. Several co-workers and I booked it for a short work trip in the area, and it was an affordable solution to our lodging needs.
Pros:
- Great and prompt communication from the host. Some soap etc was missing from the bathroom, and he quickly dropped some off
- Easy check-in/out process
- Great views, and peaceful location
- Nice deck and firepit out back
- Affordable cost
Unfortunately, I have to point out a few cons as well:
- The window in one of the bedrooms was broken. The top frame of the bottom panel of the window was completely missing, leaving a half inch gap to the outside across the entire window. We had to stuff a towel in there to keep out the heat and bugs. Additionally, the window shades were in bad shape. This is a big enough issue it should have been fixed, or at least disclosed prior to our stay.
- Only one wall unit AC in the house. Not the end of the world, but the bedrooms do get a bit warm. This could be improved by putting a couple fans in the house probably.
Overall, this house met our needs, but has some issues that should be addressed. We weren't expecting anything fancy, but a completely broken window should be addressed.
The guest house was the perfect little get away, it was quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Clay was very accommodating and I would definitely recommend the guest house, to others, as a place to stay.
Perfect location for what we were looking for. Cabin was as listed and clean. Check in and out was a breeze and communication with the owners was easy. Would stay again next time
Cute bunk house in the middle of nowhere. Loved the fire pit, house was very clean, great communication with Clay. We travel to the area often and will book again.

Short of utensils. Needs some kind of grill Not a place for wives in my opinion Convenient to area attractions
We stopped here on our way to MT and it was a great place to get some sleep and get out of the truck. They suggested Bobbi Jo’s Branding Iron for supper and it didn’t disappoint:) Thanks!!
We loved our stay at this 2 bedroom home surrounded by cornfields. The living room was huge, as was the kitchen. The beds were comfy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night, watching the sunset. It was extremely quiet and peaceful.
We loved staying at this place; it had everything we needed! The calm, quiet of country living but within minutes of town. Amazing views, clean and nicely equipped with necessities.
