About this property

Ranch house/hunting lodge for the whole family close to lake, river & hunting

Cozy ranch style home that has plenty of room inside and out for your entire group. Sleeps 10 comfortably and also comes with a crib for babies and can provide several air mattresses to sleep up to groups of 12.
Set on several quiet acres less than 2 miles from the small town of Franklin, NE. See deer, turkeys, foxes, coyotes, frogs as you sit on the front porch enjoying morning coffee. Surrounded by trees, nicely secluded from neighbors. Beautiful view overlooking pasture land from the front porch.
The house is all one level with only two small steps to get inside. It has an attached double car garage for our guests use also and plenty of parking for vehicles and boats in driveway.
Our home is fully equipped with pots & pans, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, tassimo coffee machine and pods, toaster, microwave, crock pot and a big grill with grilling accessories.
Our home is on a fully serviced well. There are 3 full bathrooms and there is a washer and dryer for guests use. For optimal water pressure we suggest using only one shower at a time. Using all three showers at same time will result in weak water pressure. The home is on a septic sewer system so we kindly remind all guests that absolutely no waste other than toilet paper can be flushed down the toilets, any diapers, wipes or feminine hygiene supplies must be disposed of in garbage. All garbage needs to be put in large bin in garage and kept closed as like any country location garbage attracts skunks, racoons, possums.

There is a smart TV in front living area/dining room. You can use wifi to stream Netflix, YouTube, etc directly through the TV. The big TV in back living room is equipped with a Google Chromecast device for streaming from your smart phone or device using the wifi we provide. Neither TV has cable, satellite or local channels. Please make note of this, we want our guests to be happy, we will not provide refunds after the fact for guests unhappy that they could not access cable TV.
We do provide wifi for our guests free of charge and we use the fastest method of wifi available in our rural area. We cannot guarantee that it as fast as the internet in your own home. We cannot guarantee that internet will be working for your entire stay and getting internet repairman does take several days in our rural setting, if guaranteed internet is imperative please plan accordingly and bring a device with data or wifi hotspot. We make no guarantees about speed or connectivity of the wifi we provide.

Quiet country stay in a cozy farm house. If you want to get away from City lights and noise but still close to all amenities this is a fantastic choice!

Friendly but firm reminder that we are PET FREE. Guests bringing pets will immediately be asked to leave, will receive no refund and will be fined. Our home is also smoke free. If you must smoke it has to be outside and all butts must be picked up, guests smoking in home or leaving cigarette butts on property will be charged fines. Any guest caught smoking in home will be asked to vacate immediately and no refunds given.

Great property!

This was a great place to serve as a hunting camp for a couple of fathers and sons and acquaintances. Property is great. Lots of space and big beds in the bedrooms. Communication with the owners was wonderful and everything was described appropriately. We would return.

Great space for lots of people!

Our family of 6 needed a night to stay on our way to the Rocky Mountains, and this place was just perfect! It was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. There were no frills or recent updates to the decor, but that was fine with us. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

Amazing home!

This is an amazing property, with an outstanding view off the front porch. It was very pleasant sitting outside watching the sunrise, drinking coffee. The yard is very spacious with lots of room for the kiddos to run around. The house is nice and large, and is well stocked and beautifully decorated. The owners are very responsive, forthcoming, and a pleasure to communicate with. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking here again on future trips up. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Nice farm house

The overnight stay was nice. We had problems finding the house but it was also after dark & our phone took us to a different location. The house was enjoyable.

Peaceful getaway

This property is perfect to get away and relax from day to day commotion. The county setting gives privacy and is so peaceful. The house is very spacious and has several bathrooms which is great for bigger groups. It is also just about 20-25 minutes from the lake! The owners are very accommodating and easy to work with!
