As Advertised

As advertised, this is a great little house. My family and I stayed here for a long weekend while visiting our son at Nebraska Wesleyan. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the property. It’s conveniently located to campus, shopping, and restaurants. The house is well maintained and included everything we needed for the weekend. Would definitely stay here again if available. Thank you!
