Disappointing
Had no access to the lake due to overgrown weeds. Fishing boat and canoe were unusable. Walking paths were nowhere to be found other than 3 paths that went about 100 yards and ended in the same place. Tiny AC in room couldn't keep the room under 90 degrees. Got stung multiple times in the boat shed. I would not stay there again or recommend it to anybody else. Extremely overpriced and misrepresented online.

We are sorry you were disappointed in your stay. During your stay, the highs were around 105 degrees which makes any A/C unit work very hard. We contract with a professional service for insect control it is, however, very difficult to control where insects nest especially in a shed. We will be extra vigilant in the future when looking for insects. The lake has been low due to drought but is accessible through the dock as I mentioned in our phone call when you asked for a refund. Both the boat and canoe are in working order and available to guests. Trails are cut in the woods as described with five acres available - we will add directional signs to the trails for future guests - thank you. Everything outlined in the listing is accurate aside from the current and forecasted weather conditions.

Magical Weekend
Between the cuteness of the “corn crib;” the endless fields where we walked and walked; the turtles, ducks, geese and herons on the lake; the peacefulness of the silence - this place is truly magical. We cannot wait to go back…

Great location not well kept
We were very disappointed, we couldnt fish around the lake due to the overgrowth and no paths leading to the lake, would of loved to try the boat or canoe there was no easy way of getting it on the water with so much overgrowth even around the dock! The boathouse was unkept, fishing gear all over,the life jackets had either mouse or bird feces all over them. The window air conditioner in the corncrib did not keep up with heat and we even cleaned the plugged dirty filter and that did not help. You advertised hiking paths we did not find any hiking paths... we planned and paid for this resorvation a year in advance based on your advertisement. We ended up leaving early...

We are truly sorry you were disappointed in your stay. Had you communicated with us we may have been able to help. We can’t control the weather and you may not have known SE Nebraska has been in a drought for several months and the lake level is low hence the growth where water once stood. Other guests have been using the dock to put in boats as you probably noticed while you were there. Had you asked we could have shown you the trail.

Great lil Get-a-Way
This place was perfect for what we needed!! Quiet, cozy place! I loved the fact there was no WiFi and limited cell service, we HAD to put our phones down and we had a great time! We will be back again!

Cute in a Midwest Way
We arrived late night on a Friday and left Saturday evening. Had bad weather on arrival night which cleared up by morning. So couldn’t get the full view of the scenery until we woke up. Pros: Cool midwest scenery out in the middle of nowhere. Cabin has a unique look to it. Everything you need is available and ready to be used. Owner was super attentive and assisted with a knob issue immediately when it happened. Lots of photo opportunities. Very closed in and quiet Cept the outside ambience. Had reception from both AT&T and Verizon cell phones out there. Cons: A few bugs were inside but not worrying nuance. Rails for stairs is a bit loose. Very hot once we arrived and took a couple hours before it got to a cooler temperature than it was outside. Bed wasn’t super comfortable. Kept dog away from lake to be safe.

Perfect Quiet Getaway
The place is even more beautiful in person. The quiet - the wildlife - the unique space - the walking distance to the winery on Saturday. It was exactly what we needed!

Perfect peaceful getaway
The Corn Crib was charming and was the ideal quiet space to take a break from the bustle of life for a few days.

Relaxing get-away
Charming space for two. Kitchen is minimal, but adequate. Water was very low on the lake due to the drought, so the shores were muddy, and not very fishable, but we used the canoe and boat with good success on bass fishing! We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and exploring some nearby small towns. Overall, it was a very relaxing getaway “off the grid.”

Absolutely perfect
It was exactly what we wanted for a quick weekend getaway. Brad and his family were very pleasant to visit with. We enjoyed the weekend and looking forward to returning during better weather.

Peaceful
We wanted to get away for a quick weekend that was simply quiet, unique, romantic, and away from people in general. This place did not disappoint!! Brad had the place in great shape and communicated any/everything we would have needed and responded quickly to any questions upon getting to the area. We ventured to neighboring towns for a meal or 2 but pretty much stayed at the crib around a fire and enjoyed the geese/ducks and deer. This place is like stepping back into a simpler time.

Charming Corn Crib
Sweet spot for one or two folks. It's a nice open space with balcony overlooking lake. Small area for any type of food prep so keep that in mind. Truly a place for a lovely getaway from it all. Would return. I mean often do you get to stay in a converted corn crib?

Corn bin stay
The corn crib cabin was very rustic, but clean. Really secluded area. Nice and peaceful. The only thing was, we did not get a complimentary bottle of their wine. They must have forgot to leave one.

Quiet and very pleasant getaway
My wife and I were looking for a quiet weekend getaway and we found it! The property was very clean and the owner answered all our questions promptly and courteously. We enjoyed walking around the property, seeing the animals and enjoying quiet evenings by the lake. We will definitely be returning again!
