It has it all

A clean and comfortable house, with a fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful view of the lake from the deck/yard. The drink refrigerator on the deck is an added bonus. Easy access with generous parking (boat parking friendly). A game room in the basement for all ages. Great communication with the owner!

Great Property

We use VRBO frequently -- throughout the US and internationally -- and this property is absolutely the best overall experience. Communication with the owner is excellent, the location is spectacular, the house is always immaculate when we arrive and there is so much to do on site. Staying at the Cliff House is an amazing experience!

Peaceful & relaxing!

We have stayed at this property before and looked forward to staying here again. There is so much space with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us as well as a spacious basement with air hockey, pool, ping pong & darts. There is also a great movie-watching area that we have not used but it is nice that it is available. We have found that this is one of the better stocked kitchens in houses we have rented, with all kinds of pans, baking/casserole dishes, and spices and supplies for cooking and baking. We will definitely stay here again!

Clean and Serene Family Retreat

Our recent stay at a Verbo home was truly exceptional. The property provided the perfect setting for our family reunion, offering the seclusion we needed to reconnect and make lasting memories. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the home was impressive. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a spotless environment, and the attention to detail in maintaining the property did not go unnoticed. It immediately set a positive tone for our stay. The highlight of our Verbo experience was undoubtedly the seclusion the property offered. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we enjoyed a serene and tranquil atmosphere that allowed us to fully unwind. The privacy of the location was ideal for our family gathering, enabling us to relax, catch up, and truly bond. Additionally, the amenities provided in the home were top-notch. From a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable living spaces and outdoor areas, everything we needed was readily available. It made our stay not only convenient but also incredibly enjoyable. Overall, our recent Verbo stay exceeded our expectations. It provided the perfect backdrop for our family reunion, combining cleanliness, privacy, and excellent amenities. We left with cherished memories and would highly recommend this Verbo property to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat for their next getaway.

Mini Family Reunion with Adult Chidren and Significant Others

What a great relaxing time. The view, the comforta and spaciousness of the property made it easy to relax. We would definitely go back again. Ogallala Beach had lots of flies but one day we went to the north shore of lake and it was wonderful as always. This was our first time staying on south side and we really enjoyed the peaceful beautiful setting!!

A gem we loved and will come back to again

With our daughters living in Colorado and us living in Omaha, Ogallala is about the half-way point, perfect for all of us to meet for a long holiday weekend. All of us loved this house! With four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, we all had our own space. The house was very clean and felt more like a home than a typical VRBO stay. Of the VRBO houses we have stayed at, this house had the best stocked kitchen and everything else was well stocked too. The house is out in the country in a peaceful, beautiful location with an amazing view of rolling hills, plateaus and valleys and Lake McConaughy. The back yard was well lit at night, so even though it was hot on the days we were there, we could play our outdoor games in the dusk and after dark. The kitchen chairs were comfortable for meals and all of our board game playing. And the basement offered the bigger games like pool, ping pong, darts and air hockey. The owners were great at communicating before our arrival, and while we were there even texted us what time the moon would come up so we could be ready to watch. The house is just a few miles from town so it is handy when having to run in for groceries. This place really is a gem and we will be back!

Great Vacation Location!!

We've stayed at the Cliff House for 3 years now, and we absolutely love it. Candice & Jerry are great hosts, and very communicative. The location is perfect for us as we like being more private and secluded. Our 2 families have come with our kiddos and have so many wonderful memories there. This year the kids bailed on us, but we still had a great time! Love playing horseshoes and pool, and enjoying the epic views off the back deck. Thanks to the Snow's, this is our families new favorite spot for our Lake Mac vacation!

2nd Annual Family Vacation

This was our second stay at this cabin with our kids and grandkids. The deck views and close proximity to Lake McConaughy are our favorite part. This cabin fits our family perfectly with its 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The basement ping pong table, pool table, darts & air hockey provide plenty of entertainment. We will definitely be booking another stay next summer.

Cliff house home

Overall - great place, view excellent, love all the spices, paperware, tin foil (as i forgot to bring), love that basic spices etc were there. Loved avaable movies, books, basement games. Very comfortable home and great deck outdoor area. Loved the privacy. Disappointed on firepit as it is very close to house and told we couldnt use it as too dry?? Yard was great green grass and i though area around was nicely green - so not sure when it is allowable to use it. My only other suggestion would be to upgrade to a keurig coffee maker.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Snow

We have been coming to the lake for 40+ years and finally have a home base that we are excited to share!

Why they chose this property

The views are breathtaking. Bought the view and the house came with it. This 8 acre very private property is lined with pine trees, the driveway is lined with ash trees and it feels like you are arriving at a very special place!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Spectacular views from the deck and landscaping all around the house, including a grass yard. Close to Lake McConaughy boat ramps, beaches and Bayside Golf Club. Close to the town of Ogallala, Nebraska.
