About the host
Hosted by Wendy and Steven (Tiger) Buchholz
Married with 3 children and 4 granddaughters, we've done home improvement projects through our lives, but this is the biggest one we've tackled together. This is something very different than our "real" jobs (restaurant/pub manager and healthcare) and it has been a joy to see this property come back to life
Why they chose this property
We were presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this property just as the Blackstone District was coming back to life. We've worked tirelessly to keep the historic feel while making it modern enough to be comfortable for our guests.
What makes this property unique
The location allows easy access to so many of Omaha's sought after events and venues. Off street parking is a bonus in this bustling neighborhood as is a yard for kids to play. As a family who has stayed in multiple VRBO properties, we've made note of what we like and needed and have tried to provide all those things for our guests.
